Do you remember playing Gun Game in Call of Duty?

Remember playing Gun Game in Call of Duty and having to progress through 18 or so different weapons to claim first place? What if a similar approach was brought to League? I've been seeing a lot of Free-For-All (FFA) game modes being pitched on the boards. Many of these modes revolve around a circular map with an intricate jungle system and a centralized battleground for champions. If one of these "arena" type maps was to be developed could it be possible to replicate Gun Game? 10 players could spawn on different points of the map and have communal shops. After a countdown each player would roam out with the exact same champion, let's say Ryze. Everyone rushes to the center, where once you get a kill you: 1.) level up and 2.) move to the next champion, say Alistar. This champion rotation could be randomized between games or Riot could come up with a fixed order with maybe the 18th and final champion being Zilean (think about the heartbreaking ults for first place). Any suggestions criticisms for this would be appreciated!

That would be very very fun though I would say that you would have all of the abilities unlocked because lets face it if you were a lvl 1 Ryze with only your Q and went up against a Lvl 3 Diana you would be pretty screwed. That or have a Jungle to farm and lvl off of as well as kills and just have kills change your Champ other then lvling solely on kills and obviously increase exp gain from the monsters or the game would last quite a bit longer then needed/ wanted.

Thanks for the input! I think having all abilities unlocked immediately is a possibility. However, I think the idea of leveling up solely through gaining kills would put more stress on having players join the fray of the fight in the center of the map. Even if you are still the level one Ryze and someone has already reached the level three Diana, you could time the use of your Q to last hit a kill and advance champions. I want this mode to be very fast with very minimal death timers. Same goes for the farming, farming camps won't give you XP toward the next champion, it will simply grant you more gold or maybe a buff of sorts. I reminisced on the fun I had playing Gun Game and forgot to include a sort or "humiliation" or a way to have you sent back to the previous champion in the rotation. I was thinking, maybe a death by ultimate would result in a demotion of champions (think Cho'Gath chomping down and sending you back to a Janna).

That would be a great idea! The 18 champs should be random and different for each game, but you should be able to see the order during the loading screen and in the hud so you can plan out your build. (Should I build ad because there are 3 adc's coming up or ap because the first champ is syndra? Or should i go triforce into tank because that works on almost every champ?). I would also probably make it even gold for all like ascension that way snowballing doesn't get too out of control. Gaining huge level leads is scary enough without gaining item leads too.

I like the idea of having your HUD display the champion rotation! You made a good point about planning your build out. If this was ever to be implemented there are many ways riot could alter the amount of gold given in the game mode. Personally, I think the standard shutdown bonuses and kill gold would be enough to suffice. I don't think this game mode would last much more than ten minutes, so the fear of "gaining item leads" on top of level leads doesn't seem very likely.

This is too unique and good for riot to actually do, instead their gonna make a game where you have 5 teamates and you have to destroy towers to get to the nexus and win, but all that stands in your way are minions and 5 opposing players!

No but really, has riot had a custom game mode that wasn't ass other than URF? which they refuse to bring back.

Sarcasm aside, I wasn't playing League during the release of URF so I can't comment on that subject. The comment about the idea being "too unique and good," is overstated. I just used to play a lot of Call of Duty before I switched over to League and Gun Game was something I thought might be the perfect marriage between the two games.

I was just implying that anything that is considered "out side of the box" for Riot, they will not do it. They used the whole winter show down snow down thing to implement a game mode that consists of throwing snowballs at each other... Besides that It was the same game.
