    Game Mode - Kill The King

    A game mode where each faction has a leader and must protect him from dying. Your team is eliminated when the king dies. As for what happens to the rest of the players after your king dies im not to sure but retreating seems to make the most sense rather than everyone just disappearing or falling to the ground. I thought i would be a cool idea considering most army's have a leader. For example "The Hobbit Battle Of The Five Armies". Dont know if this is already a game mode or has already been suggested, but let me know.

    It has (here and here).

    The suggestion, though, is a welcome one. I'd prefer it as part of a Seige-type mode, where you first need to storm the castle (Battlefield's-Rush-style), myself, rather than have it as just a mode where two teams try and knock of each other's Kings; although, if they made it to where killing the opposing King is the only way of getting points---thereby necessitating their team mates' protection---up to 1000, and/or the King has increased health and/or attack damage---making them a juggernaut---then it could make for some interesting games.

    I would prefer it if Kill The King was a type of free-for-all King Of The Hill type deal where it's a rush to claim the crown and the only way to claim it after it has been picked up is to kill the one who wears it. Perhaps the bearer would need a buff to handle the focus. I think it would be fun!

    Interesting ideas guys, yeah this idea just came to mind thinking about things like halo's juggernaut. its cool to see how the game mode concept can be changed, but i thought the original concept would be a good platform to make a game mode out of, so keep coming up with ideas cause i would love to see something like this in the game, and let me know if you guys would want to.

    Yes!

    I would love to have a game mode like this where it starts out with you and your team rushing out with your soldiers trying to gain control on catapults in order to bring down the enemies gates and the defending team must defend the catapults with everything they have in order to keep their king safe. If the defenders can hold where they stand for about 5 minutes win the battle and every time a defender hero dies fifteen seconds is added to the timer and every time an attacker dies ten seconds is taken from the timer so it is crucial not to die as a defender in this game mode and even as an attacker. When the attackers do gain control they will destroy the front gate in a cinematic and it will show the defending heroes no retreating to the center of the castle where they will duke it out in the courtyard. Here is where the defenders are in their home base so if need they can use ballistae (once every 1 minute or less whatever), but the attackers can also get up there and sabotage the ballistae which will make the defenders have to wait a minute or so without using it. In the courtyard they must defend the giant doors leading to the inside of the castle and to the throne room. The attacking team must also now defend a little in order to get into the castle. They must defend their soldiers from the defending teams soldiers and even heroes. The defenders must keep the Attackers soldiers from using a battering ram to break open the doors by killing the soldiers using it so that means the ballistae are partially crucial in this part and so is getting rid of those soldiers. Also, when the doors get below 50% health (it will take 10 hits to get the door down 1 hit every 30 seconds) boiling pots of oil will be available to poor on the soldiers below at the ram every 1 minute. Once the Attackers break through(in a cinematic or something) the game will change for better or worse depends if people can get their game together. Once they reach inside there will be lives for each team 5 lives per team that can be used when someone dies until you run out and only have the life you have to fight. If the defenders can kill all the Attackers then the Defenders win, if the Attackers win then it will cut to a cinematic where all 5 heroes from the other team will walk towards the throne and surround the king. Then after the screen cuts to black it will come up again showing the head of the king being held up by one of the Attacking heroes (probably the one with the most score) standing out in the middle of the courtyard shouting and cheering with his team and soldiers. That's game...so do whatever you want with that fix the kinks or something...
