FAQ
Q: So um... Only health? A: Nope. You can get HP, mana, armor, MR, CDR, and regen.
Q: Are there three different modes? A: No. Think of it as a rulebook with three sections.
Q: Is this all mid? A: Nope. It is like a regular game with a jungler and stuff.
Q: Can I get a sunfire? A: Yes. Offensive item passives/actives get discounted. This loophole allows for items like Sunfire, Thornmail, and even Zeke's Herald.
Q: Why is Ryze at the bottom of tier 4? A: He has a very low base HP. If he makes up for it by stacking health, he goes OOM. If he stacks mana to avoid going OOM, he gets raped. And when you reach late game, Ryze would look more like a big minion than an opponent.
Q: Did you make this game mode? A: Yes. I made it way back in S2. I like to think that anyone who mains jungler, bruiser, or tank, likes this game mode better than the actual game. Having doubts? Watch some game play :)
