New Game Mode Idea: Faction vs Factoin

Not sure if somebody thought of this already:

The idea is to pit one faction against another faction in a normal 5v5 game on Summoner's rift. Players would queue up and each team would be given a random faction. For instance, blue team is given Noxus. Blue team can only then select champions who are loyal to Noxus.

Icon rewards can be given out based on lore and battles. Let's say a Demacian team beats a Noxus team. Maybe Riot could design an icon for that event; and so on.

Idea came to me after watching Falconshield videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBNpS8QqD_I

that could be cool as long as buffs or bonuses made each faction at the same level.. at the moment some would never be chosen while others would destroy the competition

I think this is the biggest challenge to this ever being a thing. It would need its own balance team and that is resources that takes away from the rest of the game. People already complain about rito balance without taking away their workers and diminishing the brain cells left that thought crushing Veigar's cage was the way to go to balance him.

It would have tons of dodges if left the way of the original proposal because some factions would be so not worth playing into others you legit should just dodge and wait the five minutes than try and play it. Also many champs aren't aligned or have somewhat blurred faction alignments (IE riven is noxian but left noxus, does she belong to a noxus faction, an independent faction, or to some other faction) and balancing an independent faction or just leaving them out both make problems.

THE FRELJORD!!!! Ahem. This is a cool idea but yeah like the other commenter said, it might be difficult getting the factions equal. Likewise, I think it might be hard for some champions who don't necessarily have a faction or who don't have a large enough pool of champions to be picked. Otherwise it would always be Noxus vs Demacia. But yeah this would be so cool :P
