Can we have a Nemesis Draft weekend where we choose the other teams champions? We can still decide the two factions that are going to be fighting, but we just choose each others champs and roll with it.

While it could be interesting in some ways (watch Zaun become the least-tanky lineup possible), it would probably put a fairly heavy restriction on those who barely own any champs for a faction as it is. For example, I had only Renekton for Shurima (I have Xer'ath and Malz now, if Malz counts), and if Renekton wasn't picked, I would literally be screwed out of playing. Sure, before my teammates had to accommodate me by not being able to pick Ren themselves, but we had the ability to work around that. Just saying, it would probably push out those who only have 1-2 champs on the roster.

I think i remember seeing something about champ pools would be based on what the opposing team could pick - so they could literally pick you any champ as long as they owned it. -You don't have to own the champ to play it. Which is cool, if i'm remembering correctly.
I own every champ now (except satan.) So yay for me - ERRYBODY GETS THE URGOT PICK!!!

-- There is a free trading period after all champs have been locked in, allowing you to organise amongst your team who would be best playing which champs. Even if you don’t own a champion, you’ll still be able to trade and play anyone you’re given.
So basically, this shouldn't affect anyone with a lack of roster, so it should be ok :)

Well, you could be screwed if you don't have any bad champions from the OPPOSING side's roster.

Well, it'll be difficult with factions, let's say, Void (where their roster is already small). But larger factions like Demacia or Noxus could be fun.

Idk lol. It's still on PBE, and that was almost a month ago.

Nope. You pick from your team's collective pool.

It's like all-for-one where you could pick any champion SOMEONE on your team owned and everyone could play it. And it's actually really really rare when an entire team doesn't have a champ, even Urgot.
(Spoiler, Urgot is a bully that capitalizes on weak laners, so be VERY VERY careful picking him because when you have to face him as a support you're going to want to kill yourself)

I'm looking forward to the rage and hatred this gamemode will bring first of all. There is no doubt in my mind this will be a chaotic mode player-side.

I'm going to laugh so hard if I'm playing Nemesis draft and someone on the other team decides to pick the ever so unpopular Galio for my team to use.

This could work for a special tournament. Maybe we could frame it as a "challenge", e.g., a faction challenging particular Champions on the other side to fight them.

Why did no one tell me Urgot is this much fun?

Also, my very first Nemesis match. They give me my main (Lulu). They think we have no ADC. I prove them wrong. :P

This is an actually fun mode, figuring out team comps and making do with what you have. It's a more balanced ARAM I guess, though you never get that feeling of getting Ziggs.

I'm on a perfect streak with Nami.
I went AP nami mid once.
AP Nami mid started wrecking scrubs with her mejais stacks.
