Wow, this Doom mod mashup sounds super neat, thanks for letting me know about it, Blaze!
My most memorable own from the past few days:
So few days ago I play a pvp "Siege" type of match. It's a 4vs4 match with 2 lanes and one central dungeon. The trick is the counter each team has. Each enemy minion slain gets you 1 point, enemy champion 5 (I think) and when it reaches 100 a sort of a super minion is spawned for that team. This minion has tons of health and by default prioritizes enemy towers as target, if within firing range. Oh, there also a big monster in the jungle that, upon being killed, instantly spawns this super minion, but keeps the score. So theoretically you could have 99 points, kill that monster then kill one more minion and have 2 super minions, each pushing their own lane. But I digress.
So I play as Ymir, a tanky, melee, "guardian" type of champion. And right from the start... we are loosing. It's not THAT bad, we get a kill here and there, but the enemy team has an obvious upper hand. They probably spawn 2 or 3 super minions before our first and even then ours is quickly dealt with.
So eventually they completely destroy our left lane. They reach the Phoenix (a regenerating turret at the end of the lane), crush it and rush the Titan (if it dies, game ends). By that time, we probably voted at least twice to surrender, but with only one or two votes for "yes". So yeah, they are fighting the titan and we are fighting them in our own base. And then... and then we somehow manage to hold them off. They loose the momentum and are forced back with our titan having, what, 20% of health? Less? Well, pretty sure we lost by this point anyways, right?
WRONG. After that moment, it felt like our whole team, myself included, woke from a deep slumber. Suddenly, we are pushing. We are pushing HARD. It definitely helped that the game dragged long enough for all of us to reach the end level and despite our failings complete our item builds. Because now the real, frantic battle for supremacy starts. We strike in different lanes, sneak through jungle, gank people, do miraculous escapes, push minions out of our base in the last moments, summon siege minions again and again and then... and then we are fighting them on their own turf. One thing I was proud of was they never managed to get our other Phoenix down. They were close, but we managed to hold them off somehow. But once we got THEIR Phoenix down in the first lane, we just relentlessly pushed and pushed until their second felt down too. They managed to hold us off for a while, but time and time again we fought them and their titan until finally, we were victorious.
This was a comeback if I ever saw one.
