    Fun game modes

    Did everyone enjoy the bobble head event during April Fools? I did. HILARITY!!

    What other fun game modes would you like to see?
    I'd like to see a map made sort of like ARAM in LoL, but with the option to go random or not. Sort of a one lane, maybe a bit wider than normal, everyone get into the team fight and stay there the entire time. Just for shits and giggles.

    I also really enjoyed the big head mode, and I was kinda disappointed to see a lot of hate for it in some places.

    I would like to see a map or a game mode that could be like deathmatch from dota. Where everytime you die you get a different hero, there is no going back. And you only get a limited number of lives per team. So if you team is running low enough on lives, you may not even have enough heroes to spawn a whole team, it makes for some pretty exciting and clutch moments! But I guess it would be hard to do that in HotS right now because of the limited hero selection. O well, I can dream.....

    But oppositely I would actually like to see game mode or map that is less eventful. I would like a map that has no map objective. I know it goes against the whole idea of HotS and is basic philosophies to push objective importance for more teamfights, but I would love a plain map too. Just a map with lanes, towers, gates, keeps and the merc camps. Or maybe the objective could just be super buff merc camps. I dunno, just a thought.

    They better bring big head mode back! For every April Fool's Day at the very least!

    I'd also like to see a map with no objective, or less impactful objectives, or objectives that emphasise lane pushing for a more traditional MOBA variant. To some extend the Spider Queen map is like that.

    Also maybe some completely wacky out-there map variants that are very different to traditional MOBA. Like some kind of capture the flag or king of the hill concept. Or a football style map where your heroes kick some kind of buff around and try to land touchdowns on the enemy base.

    I really like the way that this sounds - I would play it, even with the limited hero pool.

    I also like the idea of the ARAM maps. You could have one with objectives and one without objectives. A cool objective would be if you control the center you could activate a bunch of slow moving traps that travel down the lane and force your opponent to be aggressive or be skewered (just a thought off the top of my head).

    On the topic of game modes (not intended to derail the OP) - has anyone heard anything about players being able to create their own custom maps? I know it was a feature they were thinking of bringing out and if they do this could be the gateway to all of these fun/crazy game modes.

    That sounds pretty awesome, can't say I ever read any plans for that though, I could have just missed it, ofcourse.

    Custom made maps was a talking point last blizzcon, if I remember correctly. No confirmation of whether or not it will be real though.
    I would imagine they could follow the trend they did with the Arcade in SC2 for player made maps though. Have them submit it for approval and then be listed as official.
