New Game Mode Idea - We Have To Go Back (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button)

Hey guys, I came up with a new game mode idea and feedback is welcome. You start off at level 18 with full points in all your abilities. The death timers are also at 50 seconds. As the game progresses where you would normally gain a level you lose one, and a point in one of your abilities (your choice). This goes on until you reach level 1, with one point in an ability (not your ult) and the death timers are down to a minute. Scaling would also go in reverse but obviously you can keep the items you purchased. Trinkets will be 'un upgraded" if you chose to upgrade it before you hit level 8. The game mode encourages you to finish the game as soon as you can before you are too week. Hope you like it.

Let's break this down - the trinket idea could work, though it would be anti-fun imo. Also, when you get a point of an ability in normal play you don't have to skill it immediately, so you would need to integrate a way to force the player to down-grade without stalling the game.

I would propose the following: Just have reversed scaling, but start with 1 Ablity point as usual. Then, as you level "down", you get more abilities (1 point per level, ult unlocked from 14 -> 13) but have lower base-stats as a tradeoff. This, along with the items working as normal, would provide us with interesting power curves for the champions. You would be encouraged not to last-hit, be in lane as little as possible (as you get experience in lane) and so on.
