Custom game

Custom Games are games that allow you to play against and/or alongside chosen players and/or bots.

Notes

• Leaving a custom game will not count towards your game's left counter.
• Custom games do not count towards champion kill/death/assist ratings.
• Just because it is a custom game does not exclude players from the summoners code.
• No XP is awarded after custom games.
• If all the real players in a custom game quit, the custom game ends and players can no longer reconnect.
• On certain days, when there is high traffic on the server, custom games would require at least 2 real players to start the game. This is done to lessen the burden on the system hosting multiple single player games. (Since the start of Season One the minimum number of player required can get up to 10, if the server is too overloaded with matches)

Bots in Custom Games

Bots are only available in Summoner's Rift custom games.

The player can control the difficulty and the role each bot is assigned to by using the corresponding dropdown menu. By default, the menu assigns the last difficulty selected (or Intro by default) the bot's Recommended role. Multiple bots can be assigned the same role.

All three different Bot difficulty levels in one game.

Available Bots

69 of 168 (41.07%) champions are available as bots.

Hardcore PVP

• This mode is rumored to be (as the title states) a hardcore PVP situation, in which you farm no minions or Jungle mobs, but instead fight to the death.

Protect the Soraka Bot

• Game variant where all normal game rules apply, but the goal of the game is to kill, (in any way), the enemy Soraka Bot until she has died 10 times. No spells or items are prohibited, everything is fair game in this game variant. There is a variation on this mode with much more complex rules known as "Protect the Queen" (see below).

Protect the Queen

• At Draft Mode champion selection, each team selects one female champion to be designated as their “Queen.” Throughout the course of the game, both teams will attempt to kill the other team’s Queen. The first team to have their Queen die 7 times loses and must surrender.
• The playing field is limited is half of the jungle area of Summoner’s Rift. The team that picks second in Champion selection decides whether the game will use Baron’s side of the jungle, or Dragon’s. Once the playing field has been decided, all fighting must occur within the playing field. If at any time the Queen retreats outside of the playing field, she must immediately suicide to the enemy team and it shall be counted as a point. Please see the picture for an outline of the playing field.
• Players must avoid going within experience range of enemy minions at all times. If minions threaten to take down any Tower, players may use the Fortify Spell, if they have it. Otherwise they must let the Tower fall.
• The Teleport summoner spell is not allowed.
• The Blue Golem and Red Lizard as well as their helpers in the designated playing field may be killed by either team, but all other neutral monsters are to remain unharmed.
• Once a Queen is slain, both teams may retreat out of the playing field. Players may chase enemy players as long as they remain in the playing field, but may not chase them once they have exited.
• Once a Queen is slain, players not already in the enemy jungle may not enter the enemy jungle until both teams have 5 players in their respective jungles.
• Once a Queen is slain and all combat has stopped, both teams are to return to their respective jungles.
• Queens start the next round by signaling that their team is in their jungle. When both Queens have given their "Go", the round starts.
• Upon death, the Queen is to return to the playing immediately and call out to the enemy team when she is back in play.
• The Queen may not buy any items at any time during the match. However, she may purchase Oracle Elixirs (She may not purchase any other types of elixirs).
• The Queen must run the Clairvoyance and Rally summoning spells.
• Underlings may only return to the fountain to heal or shop after dying.
• Underlings may purchase any items except for Mejai's Soulstealer, Leviathan, and Sword of the Occult.
• Underlings may not take the Clairvoyance or the Rally summoning spells.
• As long as neither Queen has died, underlings may reenter the playing field immediately after respawning. If either Queen has died, they should wait until the reset.
• If an Underling is executed (slain by a minion, turret, or neutral) they must remain at the fountain until at least 1 Queen is slain.

Catch the Teemo

• This game mode has a time limit of 10 minutes in which the attacking team (the team without the Teemo) must kill the Teemo 2 times while the Defending (the team with the Teemo) must protect him for 10 minutes. While the Teemo cannot leave the jungle, must keep moving to stop his passive from activating, cannot run through mid lane, cannot run in between the towers, and cannot run back or recall, everyone else can.
• To Catch The Teemo

Catch the Yeti

• Limit of 10 kills against the enemy's Nunu. The objective of "Catch the Yeti" is to kill the other team's Nunu while also defending your own Nunu. The first team to kill the opposing Nunu 10 times (or 5 for a much shorter game) wins. There is no experience gained from minions, including jungle creeps. This means that Nunu is unable to use his Consume, and is therefore very limited in terms of abilities. Nunu cannot return to base without giving the enemy a point.(In short it's the same rules as catch the teemo)

LoL Football

This game takes place on the Proving Grounds in Draft Pick. There are 4 players on each side. The attacking team must get killed by the Nexus Obelisk without it counting as a kill for the defending team. The score is calculated by taking the total deaths for the attacking team minus the kills for the defending team. The half ends when the defending team destroys the attacking team's Nexus. You then switch sides in the next game. Whoever has the most points wins. Ultimates that can teleport across the map are prohibited, along with Teleport. Sunfire Cape is banned.

Find the Teemo

• This game variation is either played on Dominion or Summoner's Rift. In contrast to Catch The Teemo, in this game mode the Teemo's on each team have a preset time to hide anywhere on the map and let their Innates activate. As soon as both Teemos are invisible, both teams have to find and kill the enemy Teemo before the enemy team does.

League Roleplay

• In this game mode, you play a regular game of Summoner's Rift while representing a city-state of Valoran.
• Game is played on Summoner's Rift in Draft Pick Mode.
• Teams size ranges between 3-5 players.

• Players must choose 1 captain for each team prior to game start. Each captain then chooses the players for their team (optional, can also be pre-arranged or random) and a city-state to represent.
  • Exception: If the chosen city-state doesn't have enough members to allow all members of the team to pick a champion, the number of bans is reduced to 1 per team. Example: In a 5v5 game, if a captain picks to represent The Void then 3 bans leaves only 3 possible champions, making it impossible for the other 2 players to play.
  • Captains ban random champions that don't belong on either city-state to fill in the 2 extra bans.

• In Champion Select, captains ban only champions that belong to the enemy team's city-state. After, the players choose champions that belong to their team's city-state.
• The game then plays out like a normal Summoner's Rift match. First team to destroy the enemy Nexus wins.
• It is apreciated if the player acts like the champion they are playing as, be it in the chat or through any other means.
• _{Original Idea by Nogujoao, LnRaY and Dani a Legend.}

Hide and Seek

• This game variation is usually played on Dominion, but can also be played on Summoner's Rift. Draft Pick is highly recommended, although Blind Pick and Random Pick are both possible.
• The Time Limit can be 40 or 45 minutes.
• The blue team consists of 5 hiders, and the purple team has 2 seekers.
• When the game begins, the hiders have until the game timer reaches 2 minutes to move to any spot on the map before the seekers exit their base and look for them.
• Hiders may use only CC moves to help them or another hiders escape. Heals, shields, and certain other moves are allowed, as long as they don't do direct damage to the seekers.  
• Attacking the seekers is forbidden, but you can use CC moves to help you or another ally escape. However, there is a maximum of 2 hiders CC'ing a seeker to prevent perma-slows or stun-locks. Some games have rules in which you may kill a seeker if their health is under a certain amount (usually 300 health. You may only kill them if they continue to chase and are not recalling.)
• Each hider has five lives. When a hider dies, they lose a life. When a hider loses all their lives, they are OUT and may not participate in the game any longer. They may, however, run around the outside of the Dominion map.
  • Once a hider has respawned, they are allowed a 30-second grace period in which they can enter the map without hindrance from the seekers.
• Hiders may NOT recall, stay at base, or walk back to base at any time.
  • Standing at the first step/entrance of the base, however, is allowed.
• Seekers may recall at any time, but they cannot cancel once they start recalling. If a seeker reaches 200 hp, he must recall.
• Items are limited to non-slowing Armor, Health and Magic Resistance items. However, Guardian Angel is banned.

V-Zero

Wiki-Link to V-Zero Rules

• A racing game inspired by the Nintendo Franchise F-Zero.
• One team races around the map as instructed in the rules, first one to finish a certain number of laps wins.
• The other team sets up dangerous obstacles to intercept the racing team and create a controlled chaos.
• Needs some time to prepare ingame.

Ultimate Bravery

LoL Fan Game 5 - Graves - Ultimate Bravery - 1 2

Example of a Kha'Zix Build gift by this website.

Ultimate Bravery is a custom game mode in League of Legends that is played by following a random build of summoner spell, items, non-ult skills to max first and a champion. Any player should follow his random build because he/she should.

Rules

1. Love Champion, you will: Once you have your choice of champions and you press the button to start your Ultimate Bravery, you can not go back !You have to choose the champion displayed on your screen, even if an atomic bomb would explode near you.
2. Activate your summoner spells, you will: Even if you fall on Rally / Resurrect, it is your duty to make good use throughout the game.
   In addition, it is a favor you did the God of Courage : the more your summoners are bad, the more victory will be rewarding.
3. Max your main spell, you will: If you want to prove that you got balls (or ovaries for girls), you should put your skill points in priority in the spell that you have been assigned (Q,W or E).
   Dishonor on your whole progeny if by chance you took the desire to choose another spell while your selection is available !
4. Build in the right order, you will: Having boots in the early game, it roxx !
   Dorans are for weaklings. You, you must run fast to rush into the crowd ! Being first in line: this is your goal.
   Then you must purchase the items in the order listed, always starting from the leftmost.
   If you have a stack item to last, so much the better: you will not surrender to 20 minutes either !
5. Forget wards, you will: What is the advantage of seeing the enemy arrive ?
   I imagine that at night, you do not turn on the light in your home to see the obstacles ... Then do the same on the field of the League !
   If ever a doubt you took on the bush that you are about to cross, well go for it, you'll be set !
6. Prove your choices, you will: Since a courageous person does not trust anyone, you must copy / paste your "Bravery" at the beginning of each game.
   So, your teammates will verify that no weakness goes through your head.

Alternative Rules (Host's rules)

• Players may pick if Random lanes or Duo lanes. Depending on host's preferences.
• Players may buy potions, depending on host's choice.
• Player can customize the build given for any map of League of Legends. Currently it support Nexus Blitz although it is only a rotation game mode.
