New Game Mode Idea: Reverse Pick

Torm··207 votes·9,674 views

In Reverse pick, you pick champions for the enemy team and they pick champions for your team. Thus the goal of champ select would be the pick the worst champions for them, or pick champions that do poorly against champions that were picked for you.

What do you guys thinks of this idea? Would you play it?

i bought him in s3 (no refunds left), he shows up often in ARAM and actually functions surprisingly well there because you can buy tear right away

There are more of us than you think! I mained Urgot until I started supporting all of the time, and have run into at least one other self-proclaimed Urgot main. So there's at least two Urgot players right there.

but have you ever seen even a single Yorick main? i think not!

I am a Yorick main, but I play him in the jungle rather than top lane. I got into gold rank playing nothing but Yorick jungle last season... Then I got demoted because of rank decay... I actually don't play much league anymore, so I guess that's one less Yorick main out there. I've never met another Yorick main.

Hmmmmm... Interesting. Future experimentations are required. Humans, such a peculiar kind.

LOL BEST COMMENT EVER

no, the best comment ever was when they announced that season 3 was ending in 3 days and someone commented "Dawn of the first day: 72 hours remain"

Would be a fun featured game more, I think. Also, with bans for champs you don't want to be forced to play.

Urgot Banned for the first time since Urf... this would be a big mode for Urgot

OMG I LOVE IT <3 RITO PLZ

This would force players to really think about how to make a team work even when it's not that great. Also it would give people an opportunity to try playing champs that aren't op which is sadly what happens in pretty much every game mode.

I can only see one drawback to this, would you be able to pick from all the champs in the game? or only the ones that the other person has? maybe a pool of all the team's champs? If you think about it though that does one of two things. Either it means that if you only have champs you like to play then there's no way to make it hard on you...or you could end up playing a champ you've never touched before and have to madly look up what that champ's skills do. Some thought would have to be given to that, but good idea overall, logged in just for this

I'd say you should be able to pick from the entire pool of champions, regardless of whether or not you've bought it or even played it once before.

The mystery just adds to the fun.

DeynaTaggerung1 votes

Yeah, the more I think about it the more that option makes sense. And if you don't own the champ then the loading screen is turned into a quick rundown of the champ's skills and playstyle.

But then the games would be bland because everyone would instantly figure out the worst teamcomps and always go for those. I think it would work best as a sort of draft pick where you pick your opponent's champions one at a time back and forth.

Or maybe it could be blind pick and you'd be assigned a player from the enemy team to pick for, being able to choose from their roster.

7ha7guy7777 votes

would player 1 get the champion selected first by the enemy team or would you select the champs for them to play as then after the pool is filled each player selects a champ that they feel they might do well with? example of pool method: team 1 picks Shen Elise Nautilus Galio Urgot team 2 player 1 chooses naut p2 chooses elise p3 picks shen p4 picks galio p5 is stuck with urgot

Is it sad that if I were first pick of that lineup I'd pick Urgot?

DeynaTaggerung3 votes

The way I imagine it going is everyone on each team picks the champ they want for the enemy and then those are randomly assigned to the opposite team. Trades allowed between teammates.

Also elise, shen, ;) dunno that doesn't seem too bad, hypertanks.

8/8 RITO PLS But seriously, this is one of the most interesting ideas for a game mode I saw. Would totally play it.

YESSS, I smell Yoricks, Urgots, and Tarics galore, and Katarina has the lowest pickrate of all time!

Not like Yorick and Katarina are bad though...

AbodyHUN6664 votes

They pick you Taric, Urgoth, Malph, Ashe, Elise. You pick them Katarina...

Tis a nice day4 votes

Everyone on your team has a stun/interrupt, so Kat's not going to do well here.

that's my point

Blue Team: Urgot Zac Taric Shen Evelynn

vs

Purple Team: Cassiopeia Galio Nautilus Diana Olaf

This should be interesting...

Nagirah7 votes

I don't mind, I absolutely adore Diana. No idea why people think she's not viable.

OblongOtter3 votes

Diana is super amazing, and Olaf and Galio can be menacing, but that Cass. Although I suppose the opposing team has Eve, too. Two champions that are squishy with no CC, no mobility and no damage.

Sinical893 votes

It would just be something stupid like two teams full of supports.

Hyrum Graff15 votes

That would be the fun of it. You'd have to figure out, from Nami, Soraka, Janna, Taric, and Braum, who should build damage and who should build like normal.

Personally I think soraka would be the best adc - her base AD and AS at rank 18 are surprisingly high.

Taric Manmode top lane taric is amazing

people need to remember that "supports" can still be used in almost any role, it's just a matter of how well you know, and understand the champion, and how you play...

And the best part, no one thinks Karma is good, so you could get her all the time.

Evelynn approves. She'll finally get to see how new SR map looks like!

Yes this is awesome, this brings in the rest of the champions which Riot should strive to do, but they don't. This is the laziest way they could make the kits they worked to make be played.

Shipwrekk3 votes

The concept is interesting, but how would the game decide which champion goes to which summoner on the other team? Would it just swap straight across? or would there be the ability to swap champions before the game started? Which do people think would be more fun or entertaining?

ZT Xperimentor2 votes

I think the swap mechanic from aram would work enough, I'd still like to try the idea.

And then Riot did Nemesis Draft. Your wish has been heard loud and clear!
