@Riot Community: What About Capture the Flag?

Hi Riot Community, For this game mode, I decided to add a poll and all the ideas I had about it.

I would like to say that I am very pleased with the game so far and will continue to play it. However, I would like to ask for a little consideration in a game mode commonly known as capture the flag and was wondering if it is at all possible to create. We could use the same map as Summoner's Rift, but without the turrets, and in place of the nexus we have a pedestal with the flag on it. Most people would want to get speed items, but I believe it would be interesting if you had NO speed items, think about it, It would add more of a challenge. IP could be based on how many flags you capture (30 for every flag) and not IP available in custom games. And each match has a TIME LIMIT of 30 min. Starting level would be level 4, and starting gold would be 1500. XP is gained overtime, by killing a champion, and by capturing the flag.Minions can be replaced with random gold drops (or increased gold gain). Places along the road where gold appears in packets of 20. No Teleport ability and the nexus area has an anti invisibility field to stop champs like Kha-zix and evelyn from sneaking in.

Now, in terms of gameplay. The flag spawns after 60 seconds and as soon as a champion hovers over and enemy flag, he picks it up AND loses all offensive power if he uses a weapon to attack (seeing as he is holding a flag) and abilities that require the weapon (Giving diversity to who does what, mages would be good "carriers" seeing as the only need mana and can attack without a weapon in hand) and his team has to defend him. as soon as you get the flag to the home nexus you get a point, but only if YOUR flag is there too. If you have the flag you can drop it anywhere you want (including bushes, but if you get killed while carrying it, it goes back to the start. if you drop it and the enemy touches it , it goes back after 4 seconds unless it is touched or picked up again by your team. No wards will be allowed to be placed in EITHER nexus (to prevent mushroom bombs and Shacos little box-of-death).

So, what do you think? Would this be possible?

Sounds like champions like Hecarim would rule this map almost entirely.

Maybe you should have large amounts of global team gold for baron and drag - just guessing.

How are you defining "weapon" using an AA? - this would knock most ADC's out of the game almost completely. only melee attacks, seems kind of unfair.

The flag shouldn't go back just because you die, it should drop and start the 4 second count. Jinx Ezreal Teemo Shaco There are too many ways you can die even if you win a team fight.

There should be a mechanic to make the enemy drop the flag (displacement effects come to mind Blitzcrank Darius Thresh ). it should drop where the person was displaced from, not where they were displaced to.

What about displacement effects affecting the flag? Blitzcrank is the only one left alive on his team, the flag is in a lane, and Blitzcrank pulls it over a wall.
