What if we have a game mode which we play only the minions.

We had the poro game mode where we help the poro king advance and duke it out with the other poro king. We also have Bots that can fight each other.

I wonder if we can have a game mode where players only control minions and have champions controlled by bots. Map is Howling Abyss.

AI plays the Summoners, Humans control minions, we win gold, but we can only shop for the AI controlled champions.

If the minion i controlled got killed. I respawn at the next wave in base. I can choose between minion classes every time before I respawn to a new one.

I think this game mode can be a stepping stone for smarter minions AI development.

another idea, Remember civilization wars from warcraft3?? I wonder if i can play a tactician class where i dont control the champion minions, but i am in charge of only the inhibitors. I only evolve my minions and select their class. I dont control their actual movement or action, i only select what types and formation is formed when minions are spawn.

How about a joke mode where instead of minions, the nexus spawns tiny random champion models?

I would like it Summoners Rift. It would be fun backdooring as minions. YAAAHHH!

might make for an interesting mode, but i'd rather let the AI pay for their own upgrades and we get to spend $ on our minions and/or squad

call it Minion Madness and include a Minion Power meter, that measure's each team's progress and a sister mode that has all the minions vs just champions would be cool too, with a meter to match, measuring Minion > Champion power

It sounds like you're trying to make a straight forward tower defense game instead of a MOBA
