UPDATE: OLYMPICS DELAYED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!! (See my post on page 7)
Hey all, WaveofShadow here.
So in honour of the London 2012 Olympics (and the fact that my country sucks at bringing home medals) I decided, why don't we hold our own Olympic Games for fun?
I'm going to come up with a whole bunch of different events that people can participate in and list them here, and people can earn medals depending on how well they do. There are already some fun custom-type games that people have come up with on the League GD forums, and maybe we can come up with our own as well.
Due to popular demand, we will be using League of Legends city-states/areas as our 'countries' instead of real ones. Options are listed under Countries. If you want to participate, pick a country for your team and 5-7 players per team to represent that country (in case of no-shows or whatever).
Poll: Should each country be limited to their own champions(+free agents)?
Yes (29)

Your vote: Should each country be limited to their own champions(+free agents)?
Try to come up with teams on your own, guys! If you can't find enough people or don't have a team but still want to participate, in the spirit of the Olympics I'll assign the stragglers a country or mix team fragments together. I will list the names and countries here in the OP, as well as the games we come up with as they are added to the list, as well as official rules for each game. This will be NA server only, sadly, unless someone on EUW/NE wants to come up with one of these of their own. Alternatively you guys are welcome to sign up/join in on smurfs or whatever if you don't mind the lag.
I will be streaming the Olympics on my Twitch.tv channel whenever they happen to be. This is a work in progress so it may happen over the course of a few days. (If anyone wants to help with the organization of the Games let me know and you can help me cast or admin; I want to make sure everything goes real smoothly and may not be able to do it all myself!)
One team must have a Teemo. The other team may also have a Teemo, but only one Teemo counts for this game.
The goal of the game is to either protect Teemo for ten minutes or kill him twice in under ten minutes, depending on which team you're on. The winner of the game is the first team to accomplish their goal. Once a round is over, be kind and disconnect so that another game may be started quickly.
The game will be played almost entirely in the jungle, with the only exception being that you may cross mid in order to get to the other half of the jungle. Going to side lanes for any reason is illegal.
Leeching exp from minions by staying near a lane is illegal; farming minions or jungle creeps is illegal.
At any point in time, any player that is not Teemo is free to recall and shop. Teemo may not recall, and may only leave the jungle if he dies.
There are no item restrictions.
Teemo is not allowed to stealth, meaning Teemo must always be moving, if only to run back and forth over a tiny distance.
The Rundown: 1. Each team: 4 runners and 1 blocker. Runners run 5 laps clockwise around the circle. Blockers can move anywhere. 2. Only buy Boots of Mobility and any pots. No Ignite or Offense masteries (except Summoner's Wrath) 3. All runners start on the pad at Windmill, and run at 2:30. 4. ONLY use abilities which CC opponents or buff your allies. Only use CC to hinder not damage. 5. The team with the MOST runners in the FIRST three to finish win. 6. OFFICIAL PERMA BAN LIST: Janna, Rammus, Shaco, Sona, Teemo, Global/Long Range Teleports
Everyone starts at windmill. Runners must start on point but blockers can be anywhere. Game starts at 2:30 and everyone runs clockwise, counting each lap as they pass windmill tower. The idea is NOT TO KILL YOUR OPPONENETS. You use CC and collision to hinder or help. (But like nascar, cars explode, people are killed on accident. If a player is killed they just run to the last point they passed and continue from there. ) Blockers come in handy to keep the enemy time in line or to give teammates openings to catch up.
CLARIFICATIONS: (yes we know that its hard to 100% balance almost 100 champs but were trying. If there is EVER a conflict, game creator sets the deciding factor: please be unbiased in this as it is not fun to allow something that you know will benefit a win for you. We like good sportsmanship!) Skills Clarification Page (What you can and can't use!)
Other Banned Abilities: Global/Long-Range teleports such as Shen, Pantheon, TF ults (for obvious reasons), Global ults that just do damage such as Ezreal's and Karthus' (GP and Ashe ults are allowed since they CC and dont really do a ton of dmg anyway)
After 5 laps do what you want in mid or just leave and restart new game!
Dying and Preventing It (Pit Stops, Longer Games, and You): Some people recommended trying a 'Pit Stop' clause and different versions of it. Currently the favored version: Anytime after your 3rd lap you can stop by your teams base to heal back up and buy more pots. This comes in handy especially in longer games as well as a risk/reward policy. Do you potentially give up your lead runner status to get back some health? Can you survive in the pack much longer and you're out of pots? Gotta way these decision carefully. Current favored way of dealing with actual Death: if you die, run back to the last point you passed.
Gangplank: Remove Scurvy (W), Raise Morale (E), Cannon Barrage (R). (★Parley and Autoattacks are banned for the same reason Ashe can't autoattack. Too much sustained damage)

Irelia: Equilibrium strike (E)
Janna: PERMABANNED. (Impossible to deal with. A Swiss Army knife of CC and the most OP passive for a race)
Jarvan IV: All abilities. (Only use Demacian Standard and Dragon Strike as a combination for knockup/distance closer, not to be used individually as harass)

Race through the jungle as cougar form Nidalee on a pre-determined route. This will include wall-hopping! Best time wins. Map of the route will be displayed here as soon as I come with it! 2 reps from each team will participate.
This one's pretty straightforward. You have 10 minutes alone on Summoner's Rift with the any Champion on your roster. Goal is to get the highest possible cs you can, any way you can. 2 reps from each team will participate.
For this event, you will pick Ezreal and level up to 6. You must head down to the bottom right of the map. Your goal is to fire your Trueshot Barrage up towards the top left of the map, hitting only one minion in the top lane. You can only stand anywhere along the end of one brush to another, and the shot must travel in between the 2 centre turrets. You receive 45 seconds from the time your ultimate comes off cooldown to line up your shot, and you get 3 shots total. 3 points for a shot that only hits one minion, and -1 for every other minion hit along the way. 2 reps from each team will participate.

Yeah I haven't actually gone through the list of champion skills in their entirety yet, I just copied and pasted from the thread in GD. I think some newer champs have to be added to the list as well. Edit: And from looking at the current list of skills, plenty of other Knockbacks are allowed so Xin's ult will be added to the list. Looking at newer champs now.
On July 31 2012 04:32 TheYango wrote: I'd suggest adding Xin's ult to the list of usable skills, since it wasn't a Knockback when those rules were first written.
Newer champs need to be updated as well. Jayce's "ult", Hammer Q, Hammer E, and Cannon E should be included.
Zyra E, WE combo, and ult.
Draven W and E. Maybe Q since it can reset your speed boost? But I don't think that interaction should come into play.
I don't know who was the last champ on there, so we might need to go over it a bit.
I'm also down to compete or cast, either seems fun!

Lol I'm glad you took my teemo idea,at least my 5k post wasn't completely uselessTT I still think the best map to play it on would be dominion or some custom map.There are too many problematic things on SR for this kind of game and you start lvl 1 while it would be more interesting on dominion where you have more free space and everyone starts at a higher lvl with better items.
List abilities useable in Double Dash updated. I'm thinking Jayce may have to be permabanned though to due to almost constant extreme team MS boost, self MS boost, knockback and slow. Way too much cc for one champ imo. Also, thoughts on Nunu's ult? May do too much damage to be allowable.....

Nunu's ult is fine, imo. Without any AP, and with people actively moving to get out of it, it should be fine. Maybe add a stipulation that he can't channel it to full duration?

Just so you know, (I added to OP) the champions you pick for each game can vary. We're choosing teams based on League country not the champions that belong to the country in the lore.
So for example in your case, Soniv, you could pick Viktor for Catch the Teemo while being on the Ionia team, and then pick Nunu for Double Dash if you wanted.
I want to make sure people are clear on this before I assign them the specific country they wanted.

We should have at least one event with lore country/character combos. Even if it's just like, a regular Dom/SR for funsies.

IMO, catch the teemo should be changed to Dominion. When Catch the Teemo was originally created, dominion didn't exist. Rules: no one my go into the outer circle. This way everyone gets xp as the game goes on (items forbidden of course) and you don't have to worry about laneleech

imo put a teemo in each circle. problem solved.
Should I actually be concerned about this? Also I like the idea of an official SR series where you can only play champions based on the country you're playing. We'll have to add a bunch of the 'free agents' though, because not every country has 5 representative champions.

Wait, why is this?
Completely defeats the purpose IMO. We need to find out which region is most OP!

There's also plenty of champs that don't really have a country. Skarner, for instance. Naut sort of as well. I'm sure we can think of others if needed, who can then be "fill in" champs.

No. The olympics aren't going to give a shit about some private non-profit thing on an internet gaming website that will have like twenty or thirty people participating at most.
And imo, should do a free agent draft. Just saying.
Ok I've already had some suggestions about how things should be changed, and they're really great. Keep the dieas coming guys!
I'll look into changing Catch the Teemo to Dominion, and I may put up a poll to see if people would rather just play champions from their countries regardless of potential abuse cases or one country having a lot more to choose from/being more OP than others. If we do change to that option a 'free agent' draft would probably be a good choice to fill in empty spots for those countries.

Er, I think the only lore match so far has been Ionia v Noxus, and it was mostly country-specific champs with some free agents.

What's boring about it? (Actually curious if many people have this opinion and I should change it. As it stands I am constantly editing OP with new events/rules and such)
-Twisted Fate -Skarner -Ahri (seems to be from Ionia, but just the area and not the city/state) -Renekton (showed up in Zaun, but not affiliated) -Brand -Fiddle -Alistar -Jax -Karthus (I think, don't really know his lore) -Kayle -Morgana -Malphite -Leona -Pantheon -Maokai -Nid -Riven (sort of) -Ryze -Shaco -Sivir (sort of) -Trundle
I also forgot Lulu in Bandle City, I think.

Nope, him and Nasus are from another plane. Nasus is in Shurima because he lives there, Renekton just kind of wanders. He showed up in Zaun, but I don't think he has an affiliation.
Sorry for long post. Any place that had multiple champions, I've organized into groups. Regions with 5+ are at the top. Classed by Dominant area, and if no dominant area then birthplace.

I say put this in the OP so people know what champs what country can play (for people like me who go "wtf, who's from where") Also count me in for any county that needs someone to play for them ^_^
Haha wow this turned into a lore discussion thread. I think what I'm going to do is draft a list using the ones given so far, draft the free agents myself and assign them to teams. In the end it looks like everyone wants it to be this way anyway, so countries will be limited to the champions on their teams for every event., EXCEPT for ones involving specific champions (ie. catch the Teemo, etc.).
iGrok and Requizen want to help me out with this ingame/TS?

I would, but I'm at work right now. Going to leave in about 20 minutes, then a 1.5 hour drive home! So fun.
If you're on later, I'll be on after dinner/workout.

I'm sure we can work out a way to do it fairly.
P.S. Sona grew up in Ionia into her teens :p
Bah, you're right. Haven't read up on her background in a while, I just knew she's mostly Demacian now. Always remember that because she's the only reason Swain comes to Demacia peacefully, to hear her music.
Alright I'm going to be online but afk. Send me a message ingame/add me to friends if you're not already/whatever and I'll check up on it every so often and we can get it organized.
List will be finalized before I stream tonight and OP updated so we can start finalizing teams.
I also think we should limit the number of countries, especially since we don't even know how many people are going to be involved. Would be silly if we ended up with only 2 people on each country.
Big ones are Ionia, Noxus, Zaun, Piltover, and Demacia. I think any others besides that have too small of a champ pool in the first place, and more than 5 teams seems a bit excessive, maybe even 4.
Great barrier would WRECK the Teemo hunt, and Freljord would be quite competitive in the Double Dash. Shurima could do decently in either one.
Another event that would be cool is an Archery competition. A neutral player runs a Powerball Rammus through a Warded river, and the Ashe has to hit him with an ECA before he crosses the whole thing.

Those would be the next choices, yeah, but I think we need a count of how many people are interested. I mean, if only 20 people want to do this, having more than 4 teams is just silly. If we get a whole shitton, we should definitely do other countries though.
Ok, we're in the midst of trying to figure out how many teams we should have but it would help to find out how many people are interested! If we have only 10-15 people for example, we don't need 10 teams and some countries will go unrepresented.
Signup list is at the bottom of the OP, PLEASE post in here to let me know if you are interested (and the team you would like to play for, just so we know the interest level, Champion list still not finalized yet. We'd rather you pick a country for the fun of it anyway, not because it has OP champs on it. There are multiple events, and different champions will be good at different ones!)
Just a small thought, but tbh I think if there was an Olympics in League lore, I feel like Corki Heimer Rumble Ziggs would prefer to rep Bandel City since it's their native land. Especially Rumble since his lore is all about showing up the big people and proving to everyone Yordles are superior. I can't imagine him wanting to rep Piltover after yapping about how Yordles>Everything all day in SR while melting people's faces.

We talked about countries, and decided that it would be too crazy to have every country represented. If there's a big outcry for one country to be represented over others, we'll see about which one gets picked.

Bandle City's already on iGrok's list. And if we're doing it by affiliation it makes more sense to have them rep their home country. That said, I'm not 100% sure about Corki Heimer Ziggs. Heimer and Ziggs you can make the argument that they rep Yordle Academy in Piltover and Corki kinda just followed the Yordle scientists to Piltover. But Rumble for sure is trying to prove Yordle superiority and he's only in Piltover to show up Heimer. If anything, his lore specifically said he refused to go to Piltover.
So a couple other ideas: We were trying to come up with a skillshot event so maybe one of these two: Ezreal ult archery: You start at bottom right on SR, you must be standing in between the two bushes. Your goal is to hit a SINGLE opposing minion in top lane with your ult. Every other minions you hit you get docked points. You shit MUST travel through the two outer towers in mid lane. You get X amount of shots. OR Ashe Arrow Archery. Proving grounds so you start with gold/extra XP. First person to hit the opposing Ashe with an Arrow wins the match. (Would have to work out items. Would probably make sure each Ashe has same CDR) (or both?)
Here is another idea to build off of the Ashe Archery event: Target practice. 5v5 on SR through river. Each team has Rammus as the skeet, then Lux, Ashe, Draven, and Ezreal. The skeets are on bot/top lane and the shooters are in the middle. First team to knock out the other skeet wins.

Could take a while considering the cooldowns.
Another Idea: Swimming on Dominion.
2 players play Fizz without any items and apart from normal movement you may only use Q on Level 1 and E on Level 2 to move up to 3 laps around the map. It is allowed to use Q on the other Fizz. Every time a lap is completed a scorepoint is noted for the player, both players return to the starting point and the next lap starts on the next full minute. Once a player has 2 points, he wins the race. The other teammembers play Janna (only Q), Mundo (only Q), Olaf (only Q) and Anivia (only W) with the skill only set to level 2 and only with Boots of Mobility. Skills may only be used against another Fizz. Only the swimmers are allowed to walk on the racetrack, the players are required to stay on the sidelines or in the center area and may only cross the track when no Fizz is nearby. If a Fizz is killed, the other Fizz has to stop until the dead Fizz returned to the point of his death.
Now you can show how good you can dodge those Axes, Cleavers, Walls and Tornados.
alistar, leona and taric are all free agents. would be pretty OP if free agents were allowed. would result in lots of tarics esp. in a blind pick format
was reading all the lists of champions/locations, and didn't find Vayne anywhere. based on her lore it's pretty clear she's Demacian of at least birth, but perhaps she would be more accurate as a free agent?
Ok I think what we're going to do is have just the big 4 represented (Zaun, Demacia, Ionia, Noxus) because we are not going to have enough people interested to have anything like 8 teams. The leftover big countries (Piltover/Bandle City/Bilgewater/Shurima desert/Icathia/Freljord) assuming we don't have that many people will have their champions divided evenly and RANDOMLY!! amongst the other 4.
As for the rest of the 'free agents,' should we divide them too, leave them open to be picked by any team during an event or remove them from draft completely?
free agents banned from the pool unless the representative members of a nation write a short piece of lore explaining why said free agent is playing for their nation
Alright we're assigning teams tonight! Teams will be Demacia, Noxus, Zaun and Ionia for now, unless many more sign up! If oyu specified one of these teams you'll be on it, otherwise you'll just be randomly assigned. Champion assignments will be done at a later date once we're 100% sure of Summoner particiaption.
PLEASE if you haven't signed up, PM me ingame or on TL, or post in this thread that you're interested! Looking to start the Games on Monday!

As much as I would love to do more of these games, logistically I'm not even sure what the attendance will be like as is and I want to make sure we get through the games we have.
I am updating the OP with the current list of events and the (maybe-not-so-final) Team Rosters!! If we have a LOT more signups in the days leading up to Monday, we may be able to add another full team. Champion rosters however will NOT be finalized until the night before, so that people aren't inclined to try and sign up for the most OP team. Of the leftover champs, some will be distributed and I think some will just go unused.

"Any way possible", so I'd imagine. If they're impeding your CS, it's probably allowed.
Actually for the cs contest it will not be a direct competition against anyone else, rather you enter the game on your own, no bots, no nothing. It's just a numbers game.
Still looking to see if anyone else signs up before Monday! I also very well might need help with admin-type stuff/casting/obsing so if anyone would like to volunteer I'd really appreciate it!!
Sorry guys, sucky news if anyone cares. I'm probably going to have to delay the Olympics until further notice because something important jobwise came up and I'm not sure when exactly it's going to come into effect, but it does affect my ability to play/stream. Since no one has really offered to help me run it or stream, I'll try to get it together during a week I'll actually be more available.

Sorry to disappoint, guys!
Hey. I think I speak for everyone when I say that its much more important to have a well run, and fun event than to make some arbitrary deadline... Do what you gotta do.
