All these custom game modes... anyone have any reason we shouldnt do what dota1 was able to pull off over a decade ago and just keep them as selectable options in custom games?
Wanna play all mid 1 for all? Cool.
Wanna play all random urf mode? Do it.
No reason these options shouldnt stick around as selectable in custom games. Yes, balance may be off in abnormal games. Thats ok.
riot doesnt have time for things like this... its easy, but they are lazy
Yep you don't eve have to balance or update them in the custom gamemodes, so people can experience them as they were. All mid Syndra one for all, with Syndra on both teams? FUCK YEAH!
The thing is, they do require steady attention and work just to ensure they still work. One For All is the most well-known example - a lot of champions are specifically built not to have shared counters among players (eg heimer turrets) and had to be manually adjusted to make them happen... and adjusted again later when OFA got brought back, because other things had happened since.
DotA1's game modes were functionally snapshot releases, not a live environment.
