Entirely Original New Game Mode Idea: Capture the Flask

Ha, jokes aside..

LOL has needed a "capture the flag" styled game mode for quite some time.

But a flag? No! The League needs a item 2041

Obviously this will be a special type of item 2041 that Singed himself made.

The flasks will spawn randomly in the map's jungle at the 15 min mark and then the real fun begins (like a normal game till that point)

All players will frantically search for the other team's item 2041. (It would spawn randomly somewhere like bard's chimes)

Then, someone finds the item 2041 . Probably not LeeSin though :(

They walk over it, and the item 2041 is in that champion's item inventory.

And then the rest is obvious. Take the other team's flask, and get back to your fountain. Get killed while you are flasked? then it spawns again randomly on the map.

I think it should be, whenever someone takes the item 2041 they are visible to all enemies. And you have to finish "taking it" for you to be order to bring it back to your base.

It should grant some cool slippery stats too.. like cc reduction and movement speed.

Bump this thread if you would like to play this game mode or a similar one.

This. I've been wanting something like this for a reallllly long time. The only issue that I can't work past, is what keeps people from getting possession of the flask and just standing in their base, unkillable until right before the timer runs out. Because if it only respawns when it's turned in for a point - if somebody just held it, and stayed behind their tower... nobody would be able to kill them.

It's Rather actually a good mode you have there M8, But i think only 1 flask per team hidden randomly in your jungle like

Blue Side Jungle - Random Blue Flask

Red Side Jungle - Random Red Flask

So that way it wont spam near your fountain and you will like, get it and walk away like a boss, it's actually a good mode i would like to play myself, bump for this mode, Also No movement speed, that would be just Unfair lol

i think CC Reduction and Fear, etc. would be nice a few Balances there and here like, no TP allowed nor, kass or TF and all those roamers, and it would be nice

Ironically Lee Sin would probably be one of the best champs for this gamemode. I personally wouldn't like it, mostly because you would only be able to play highly mobile champs.

recall needs to be disabled when they have the flask though

I think the flask should give you less slippery stats, because unless there's a small map or a lot of roaming, it may take a bit to get to the flask-holder even without movement boosts.

too unbalanced, sine it could spawn in someplace very obvious. It should be located like the nexus, and you just have to go pick it up, and run back to your base. The flask will give enemies vision of you and prohibit you from using abilities. The gamemode shouldent have recall or teleport, and when you die the flask should return back automatically.

TwistedFate might need a ban from this game lol.

I don't think it would be very fun, because bots would run RAMPANT. All thebot has to do is run around the jungle and if it happens to pick it up, bad news bears for your team

bots?

come on man..

just dont give exp for the most and people wouldnt use bots?

but i dont see how that would be a problem.

TaoistMaster6/13/2015, 2:07:46 PM1 votes

what if the flask gave slippery stats..

but also disabled ALL of your abilities?

That'd be hilarious.

Or if it gave you one flash every 30 seconds or gave you some kind of mobility spell while disabling all your other spells?

Idk just random ideas.

glad some people agreed that they have wanted a game mode like this for awhile.
