League-of-legends – What’s a constructive way to play ‘in-house’ games with more than 5 people

league-of-legends

A group of friends I play League of Legends with often has 6-8 people turn out so we can't just do a 5-man normal queue game. We've started doing ARAM to screw around and learn new characters, but this breaks the game so badly where melee is screwed, pokers win, and there is no gank dynamic.

Twisted Treeline might work for 6 (3v3), but some people hate that map; does 3v3 and 4v4 work well on Summoner's Rift? Is there a good set of constraints that can be placed on the map to make it more 5v5-ish (e.g. no top lane)?

Best Answer

If by constructive, you mean you want to make the playing experience as similar to a real 5v5 match as possible to gain real game time experience then there are several things you can do:

3v3:

  • 1 mid, 1 top, and 1 jungle (and nobody bot). In a real higher elo game, it is usually always 1v1 top to compensate for the jungler.
  • 1 mid and 2 bot (and nobody top). This will closely resemble a game where neither sides have a jungler.

4v4:

  • 1 mid, 2 bot, and 1 jungle (and nobody top). Resembles a real higher elo game.
  • 1 top, 2 bot, 1 jungle (and nobody mid). Resembles a real higher elo game.
  • 1 top, 1 mid, 1 bot and 1 jungle. This will resemble a real game where a team has a jungler and a roamer.

Of course, don't forget about the bots. You can always use the bots to fill into the missing roster to get the 5v5.
