Well.. My threads all die before they even start so I guess I'll help to keep this one alive.

The argument I see being the most convincing against this would be: LoL is a MOBA game which is played for it's single game type. While putting CTF in would give variety that a ton of us would probably love, it also pulls some of the attention away from the Defense of the Ancients roots that LoL rose from.

My personal argument against this is that LoL was inspired by DotA from a popular RTS custom game. That same game has innumerable other custom games which flow in the same vein: Tower Defense, Mazes, Capture the Flag, etc. Personally, I would love to see LoL do all of those (A heimerdinger's TD or an Alistar's maze), but it might not be within their power to do so.

This new gourde shape confuses me. The lanes going out and coming back... I just don't know what to think about it.

@Maxijazz
That's a choice the team will have to make. Also why I don't think the channel time will be that low.

@slyguy6802
There's also a reason why I went fairly different from the current norm. Riot has said before that new maps/modes have to bring something new to the game. They won't put out a new map that is essentially the same as SR or TT or Crystal Scar. If every map has 3 lanes, a 1-person jungle, turrets guarding the lanes, and a nexus destroyed by attacking it, they won't get put through. I understand there are reasons for having lanes in SR, but my purpose is to be different from SR, and the reasons they exist there need not apply to this map. If you want 3 lanes, limited jungle and all the other **** we already have, honestly we already have it so there's no point in trying to get more of it.

@Verandure
Try refining them more and posting them again later. Or come up with another idea. Find one that resonates with the community.
They have already brought in a new game mode, Dominion, and they have been successful with it. I think a combination of not having the resources for new maps and not having a big profit return on the investment has stopped Riot from making new maps. But then again, Dominion is fairly recent in LoL's history, so maybe it's just taking them a while. Either way, the community wants it, so I'm going to try to help the community work for it, so maybe Riot, in trying to be the most community-friendly company out there, will listen.
I took a chance with the lanes, and I actually kind of like it. It was brought up as an idea, but I don't remember who said it. If it turns out it doesn't work with the minions, I'll try something else. Give it some time though.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. The more I get, even those who dislike my ideas, helps me know what you the community wants, and that's what shapes the map. Just to put it out there, what I've seen the community ask for the most, not just in this thread, is more jungle area, breaking away from the 3-lane system, and a new game mode. Those are the main idea that I want to hold to as this map develops further.

Hmm, i have an idea, but i'm not sure if it'll work with what you have, but you could have two flags, one in each jungle, and the objective is to get into the enemy team's jungle, and retrieve it back to your base. :S just a thought.

Did you even read the link I sent you before you replied because you are seriously missing the point. I've been on gaming projects before so it'd be wise of you to heed some advice from a well meaning colleague.

Taking a neutral flag and bringing it to the enemy base...
More like some Infiltration instead of Capturing. I'm guessing its being called a "flag" as a placeholder until whenever. Something more along the lines of a bomb or something destructive seems to be better than a flag...

Plant it at the enemy Nexus, it explodes, Nexus gets damaged.

@Tommyokay8
Perhaps on a different map. For this one I'm set on how the flag currently is.

@slyguy6802
I'm pretty sure I know what your point is, and I disagree with your reasoning and think that what you see as flaws are not as critical as you seem to think. If you don't think I'm understanding your point, then you should explain it more, instead of downvoting and telling me "you don't understand." That's just unhelpful. I'm not difficult to work with, I'm open to changing things, but when I have reasons for doing something, I won't just change on one person's whim.

@Brahzinski
Capture the Flag is a general game mode name to give people an idea of what this map is about. Sure it's not the classic idea of capture the flag, but do you find this to be a problem?

what if they made a map with multiple floors

I have had too much feedback to let this die. I promise I'm working on the newer map, and hope to have it up by the end of the week.
