Mode Type: No Picks, Everyone plays Dark Star Thresh (with slightly modified abilities)

Dark Star Thresh

• Cosmic Death Sentence
  • Range massively increased, cooldown reduced and mana cost removed.
  • Pulls enemies much farther based on their missing health.
  • If you throw a Death Sentence through the center of the Dark Star, it lights on fire and deals 250 bonus true damage to the target.
  • While an enemy is bound by your Death Sentence, you are immune to that enemy's Death Sentence.
  • You can dash through the Dark Star if you grab someone accross the star.
• Gravitational Dark Passage
  • Shield removed, cooldown increased and mana cost removed.
  • Lantern duration reduced to 1.5 seconds from 4.
  • An ally in danger will be automatically saved by Dark Passage, without them needing to click on the lantern.
• Dark Energy Flay
  • Cooldown reduced and mana cost removed.
  • The passive part (bonus magic damage on next hit) builds up in only 4 seconds after you last basic attack and hits harder.
  • Throws enemies much farther based on their missing health, cooldown reduced.
• The Box
  • Ability removed. Not available on the Cosmic Ruins because Thresh doesn't need his box to end the universe.

Mechanics

• Gold, experience and items have been disabled.
• Everyone starts level 3, and has points automatically distributed to his skills.
• Every champion has the same stats, 54 attack damage, 0 ability power, 16 armor, 32 magic resistance, 1.00 attack speed, 0% cooldown reduction, 0% critical strike chance and 385 movement speed.
• Play as Thresh to hook and flay your enemies into the Dark Star and feed it souls, helping Thresh cause the Singularity and end the universe!
  • Bo3 rounds. Round win is first to 100 points. Sacrifice an Template:Moi earns 1 point and a champion earns 5 points.
• Champions cannot be killed by basic attacks or abilities, the only way to kill a champion is by pulling them into the Dark Star, which will inta-kill them.
• The lower health a champion is, the smaller he'll be, like Zac.
• The lowest their health is, the further enemies will travel. Try basic attacking enemies before grabing or flaying them.
• Thresh will spawn in space around the edge of the map. He can move around in space and can step onto the Cosmic Ruins from wherever he like. When stepping in, he gets Template:Cctip by 90% decaying over 0.5 seconds. While in space, Thresh is untargetable, cannot basic attack nor cast abilities and has 1000 movement speed. Spawn timers are super short.
• Three Gravity Anchors are positionned around the Cosmic Ruines (blue orbs). Hooking one will pull Thresh to it.
• Being saved by Dark Passage or hooking a Gravity Anchor will break out any disable/knockback and make him untargetable for the travel duration.
• Health Relics will spawn around the map, they can be grabbed, and will restore full health.

Items

• Everyone also start with six cosmetic items in their inventory describing the game mode rules.
  • Cosmic Shackle
  • Singularity Lantern
  • Dark Matter Scythe
  • Cloak of Stars
  • Dark Star Sigil
  • Gravity Boots

Trivia

• This mode is heavily inspired by the Dark Star skin theme and was released in the same time as the 2017 Dark Star skins.
• This mode is the first game mode to not have a champion select screen before the game.
  • It is the first game mode to only have one playable champion for each player, and to that extent the first game mode to unlock a certain skin for each player while they are playing the champion in the mode.
  • It is the first game mode to primarily have cosmetic items, and to that extent no item shop.
