Riot announced a new featured game mode which will go live on the PBE soon.
The new game mode features new items and a brand new concept. You can earn Kraken (golden coins) for various activities and use golden Krakens to recruit new brawler minions as you vie for dominance on Summoner’s Rift! The new minions can be upgraded and will replace your normal lane minions.
The Brawlers:
There are four types of brawler minions. Each game you will spend Krakens you’ve earned to hire one brawler minion type of your choice, then upgrade him as you see fit throughout the game. Once hired, your brawler will replace a regular minion and spawn in every wave of all 3 lanes for the rest of the game. Each brawler minion has 3 upgrade paths (Abilities, Attack & Defense) you can pursue to customise them how you want. Upgrades can be purchased from the new “Brawlers” tab in the item shop at fountain using Krakens.
Ironback
Melee: Tanky siege

Seems like Riot picked up some ideas from Heroes of the Storm with the coins. Instead of a ship which shoots canonballs you get minions. Seems like a cool idea though.

Here's to hoping some of the Black Market items in this mode will end up in vanilla SR in a more balanced form.
|
sounds interesting and i think i will definitely will add another strategy in the game. excited and hoping to see like pro players play with it
|
Looks like they took the idea of brawlers from Dota 2's Year Beast.
|
yeah guess its like blackhearths bay from heros
|
Like everything else, it looks like they're teaching players the importance of minions by buffing them to imbalance. Sounds boring to play, but positive in teaching players how to play properly.

Please.

sounds pretty fun and adds a lot of new variety with the 20 items coming into play.
really interested in how lanes/midgame will turn out since the game seems snowbally when your minion upgrades affect your minion choice in the 2 other lanes.
ocklepod is cutest choice

There are no new ideas anymore :p
I'm looking forward to the Hero Defense mode myself. Aany day now.

More like "don't try to make everything about DotA vs LoL".
Plus Enfo's was fun.

I need League of Legends Tower Defense :< Or any other good TD game
|
We already have League of Legends Tower Defense, its called Summoner's rift classic xD
|
Really excited for this gamemode, cant wait till it hits pbe.
|
I hope this means Riot will consider making more interesting items for normal SR, LoL items are pretty bland.
|
More actives in SR is a must imo.

He wants a game where you defend stuff with towers, SR is a game where you defend towers instead!

This is the sort of thing that would get me playing again. SR gets really tiring for me.
What they should freaking do is just make Dominion worth playing. I miss that mode

Agreed. Oldest map in the game and it shows.
|
I've been playing a bit of heroes of the storm and I find collecting coins interesting and different. Great to see riot implementing it to this mode. I can see it will be a fun map 
|
It's an old enough concept I don't think you can attribute it to any one game. Did anybody ever play this map?
I'm really excited for this mode though. I'm hoping it'll catch on and they spin it into a permanent game mode, but we'll see. It definitely seems like they put more effort into this than previous featured modes.
