So I had a Idea about a game mode, I called it , "Snipe mode..."

Those Beyond··43 votes·2,841 views

SO I was watching a League Video, and in my head popped the idea that.

"What if all skill shot abilities could go on forever and where global."

So like a well aimed thresh or blitz hook could catch you from bot lane from top lane or mid. Or Jarvan could throw his flag from top to bot to get that attack speed buff to allies, or if nid threw a spear from bot and hit a person mid, some how they would die. Like on the spot, or thresh throwing his lantern to top lane and bringing them bot or from the jungle.

I know it's would make a lot of champs op (Like nid) but it only limited to skillshot abilities. So Garen or Darius can't just ult you from top and execute a bot laner. But Kog Ma, or someone that has a skill shot could if they landed it.

It's just an idea, but I think it would be pretty fun and unique, or even increase the range of abilities to crazy levels like garen's ult and triple the range or kat could jump back at triple the range. It's an idea though so I would love to talk about who would be the strongest in the category. (And to make sure no blitz just sits at tower all day and throws pulls till he gets a fish so to speak. Hooks have an increased CD )

Blitz just gets CDR and sits in base.

Blitz just gets CDR and sits in base.

And he waits for the enemy to respawn at fountain.

MrEly7 votes

There would be all the minions in the way that would usually prevent that. Unless he sent out his hook before the minions spawned... then it would just be a guaranteed first blood.

If Blitz/Thresh/Darius (forget who else has a pull) pull each other, would they meet each other in the middle or would they go to the other's fountain?

Also, there should be a constant buff in this mode where pulls gain more damage (ap and ad) the farther it travels, like Jinx's ult

Multiply point cllick abilities range by 1.5.

Multiply skillshot spells range by 2.

Introduce gimmick ( snipe zones/turret? summoner spell/item with active that allows next skillshot to be global & introduce counterpart SS/item that gives power to targeted spells )

There you go, the next URF level game mode.

I like this idea, or make it so that true sight also blocks projectiles (so that towers can still be safe zones)

Ryuku Cruxis1 votes

Never before have so many bronzies rushed to buy vision wards xD

kile1471 votes

Normal wards wouldn't do it, only pinks, so they could be used as a temporary vision shield, but since they are easily findable and each person only has one, I'd say it could be fair

Aych Pii1 votes

Would kinda suck to use your global buff thing and toss a ss through the jungle only to have it randomly vanish as it scrapes the edge of a pink ward's range. Also, pink wards are vision wards. Greens are called stealth wards.

Some champs would have to be banned like in old URF. I'm specifically thinking of hooks and 3 people you mentioned, Karthus, Cass and Syndra. They would be like infinite Shrooms that are aimed at you.

Poor, poor skillshotless champions.

Also, how would this work with ground targeted abilities or abilities that force champions to stop moving? Would J4 stand still until his lance either hit his flag or the other side of the map? Would LeBlanc be able to jump anywhere?

What about skillshots that explode or remain like Zed's W or Karma's RQ?

It is a good idea but it needs more work

The Lexer1 votes

Ground targeted abilities would count as skill shots. Yes, LB could jump anywhere. Explosions like Karma's would disappear off the map if it's missed. Zed's W would go to wherever it was cast, never off the map. Animations Like J4's would probably be about twice as long, but would stop eventually. Or maybe they could move during animation

I am all for this game mode. It sounds like it would be rather URF like in that it would just be silly, broken, and a ton of fun. It wouldn't be great for competitive play, but that's okay, because I think it would still be a ton of fun.

Who would I play in a global skill-shot game.... Chogath The ground shakes EVERYWHERE. Xerath Pew pew pew! Ziggs World War 2 all over again. Thresh "GET OVER HERE!" LeeSin Ganks get really scary. Jayce Who needs a hammer? Caitlyn Highest AD Ratio on a skillshot. Ezreal Ult becomes useless. Corki LONG RANGE MISSILE PLATFORM: ONLINE Nidalee 100% pick/ban.

E can do about 7-800 AP Damage when building right. And Q can do about 700 with 300 being AD and 400 being on a lichbane proc. This Q being on a 2.3 second cool down.

MrEly2 votes

A way to make this work better is if both your summoner spells were revive. Then it would be perfect.

Aatrox Herself1 votes

They killed revive.

R.I.P

MrEly1 votes

Its not like they removed the code for it from the game though. It could easily be added back in.

Aatrox Herself1 votes

Yes they did, revive is gone forever.

MrEly1 votes

I seriously doubt they would just delete the code from existence. It is backed up, and there are probably remnants of it still lingering in the game itself. While it is gone from the main game, there's nothing stopping them from using it in one of the temporary game modes.

The Lexer2 votes

I've thought of this before. I generally refer to it as "Global Mode". One change I would propose is:

-You cannot shoot global skill shots from within you're own base unless there is an enemy champion or minion in you're base with you -- This makes champions like Blitz and Kog less OP because they can't just spam hooks/Kog ults from base with infinite mana and guaranteed kills.

  • I also want to clarify - A skill shot is anything that does not lock on to a champion. This opens up abilities like Naut's E, Thresh's E, and Jarven's Q to be global

Omg this would make Lissandra's Q the best farming technique in this game mode with slight CDR, AND wouldn't her E give her mobility to literally ANYWHERE on the map? Regardless, still seems incredibly fun!

It's take awhile but i guess she would have a tp anywhere

Rerric1 votes

I think you're trying to say any champion with projectile-based skillshots. Otherwise, Leblanc or anyone with a non-point click gap closer could go anywhere on the map.

MrEly2 votes

I say LeBlanc should be able to jump to anywhere. While this would be absurd, it would be a ton of fun.

Rerric2 votes

Wouldn't be fun to play against.

MrEly1 votes

well, yeah, I can see that... but there are tons of champs who have jumps who could go anywhere as well....

I will answer the exact same way I did last time this exact same idea came to the boards.

I love it!

But only if Kat's Ult is mapwide.

How does cone skillshots like morde e or cho silence work? Do they fan out forever?

Aatrox Herself1 votes

Yes.

MORDE OP, sit in base, farm map.

It would be fun on champions with skill shots but an awful lot of champions would be pointless in the mode, mostly looking at those with more than one point and click. Some amendments that could make them worth playing.

*Point an click abilities now have 2-3x range./ 2x may be to low for some 3x may be to high for others.

*Vector baser skill shots Rumble Viktor, 3x place radius, 2x length./ part aoe part skill shot allowing it to be placed anywhere would give a little to much precision, though I think Rumbles would basically be global anyways.

*AOE skills like Quinn's Valor, Expunge, hymn of valor, or Urgots acid hunter have 1.5-2x range/ While I believe Urgot is affected by fog of war the others aren't and could become very powerful very quickly.

*Things like Garen's spin, and Jax's stun would have 2x range./ very powerful if there was a teamfight for some odd reason

*3x auto-attack range, make all auto's like twitches ult with no penetration./ This would look hillarious

*1.5x blink/dash distance./ this is for two reasons 1. blinks are stupid 2. Graves needs to stop before going the way of the missed jinx rocket.

*The Anti-Ward visible like the pink every champion can place one, new ward denies minion vision of an area to the enemy denies champions vision of area unless they enter a set range (wards in this range will see into it). Shows up as red fog of war, towers also provide this in a small radius.

*There are windwalls in set locations five not so wide windwalls around dragon pit and one normal one on the opposite wall (same over at baron)./ while still possible to hit dragon and baron with skill shots sloppily aimed ones will simply hit the windwalls, alternatively expanding these would force people to come out of base to take these giving the non-skill shot champs a chance.

*There are windwalls in front of spawn./ Blitz grabbing and killing you every time you spawn would get real old real fast.

Some of these may be arguable, but I think they push in the right direction.

Ryuku Cruxis1 votes

3x auto attack range too good imo, if some skillshots are only getting 2x. Then again I'm thinking 2100 Jinx range, with double the aoe range, disgusting. On that note, given how autos affect turrets, changing tower range might need looking at.

The melee vs ranged gap would also become even wider, as well as the gap between any range really. It'd hard to see people competeing against a Cait early game, especially if skillshots with more range aren't given more missile speed to keep them around the same completion time. No point in throwing a Morgana q from 2000 range, would anyone ever hit that? Though, with more missile speed, it makes point blanks/close range casts more accurate, just because you get more range doesn't mean you have to use it. It'd take quite alot of time to balance such a mode...

But then again...I guess the mode doesn't have to be too greatly balanced. Game modes shouldn't be re-used as we learned with URF and mostly for the reason that they are too heavy to balance anyway, and would probably take tweaking of near if not all the champions. They're just for fun, maybe screw some balances, but not important ones!

Sona suddenly never leaves Base.

I'm here to represent Sona as she cannot clarify for herself; She doesn't use any skillshots, save her ult.

Blitz simply pulls as soon as the game begins.

Also, if Darius uses e in fountain, I guess that means insta penta, and complete minion waveclear.

lDontLiftIcarry1 votes

would they rotate around the map? nah this would be too broken. You'd just get some tard farming creeps from spawn/near fountain for infinite mana.

MidEvilKnight3k1 votes

Level 1 blitz OP. Level Q immediately and shoot towards opposing teams fountain. Free kill.

Also, would blitz be forced to sit still until his fist hit something? Or could he start moving while it is still in flight?
