The Sumo Game Mode Failure
The original idea was for each team to chain their cc to knock out the designated players, but there simply wasn't enough coordination in each team. It just turned into a giant brawl between tanky people, which was funny, but it didn't support my vision for the game mode. I guess what I have learned from this is that I have to keep my future game modes more basic and easier to understand. Keep it simple stupid I guess. Anyways, back to the drawing board!

Sumo Rule Set Rough Draft 1
Custom
Game Mode: SUMO!
Map: Middle Area of the Dominion Map
Game type: Draft or Blind
Number of
players: 8-10
Summary: This game mode is inspired by sumo wrestling.
This game mode comprises of two teams trying to knock the designated player of
the opposing team out of marked area above while trying to protect their own
designated player. Ever match has a referee that decides whether a designated player
gets knocked out of the match area and other rulings. At the beginning of the
match, the designated players will meet at area where the storm buffs are and
cannot move out of that area until the referee says start. Players can only go
after the designated players once the referee says start. Once a designated
player come back from being knocked out, the opposing team cannot go after the designated
player until they reach the storm buff area. This game mode is not about
killing other players. Players can only score by knocking a player out of the
area.

team knocks the opposing designated player out of the area 20 times, they win.

Sumo Wresting Game Type Idea
So, I was laying in my bed having trouble falling asleep. So I said to myself "I might as well come up with an idea for a custom game. This is when an idea hit me. What if there was a game mode that took place in the same place as the blitzcrank volleyball where each team has to knock a designated player on the other team out of the designated area. I guess I have new game mode to design.

Battle Arena Tier List
This is my first attempt at a tier list for the custom game mode Battle Arena. I try to highlight champions that have mechanics that suite battle arena or do not. The champs in these tiers are not listed in a specific order. Just because a character is low on the tier doesn't mean that they are unplayable or horrible on the game mode. This is only my opinion and this list is subject to change. If you disagree with any of my rankings, please leave a comment saying why my list should be changed.
