Strategy Guide: Custom League of Legends: Hide and Seek by Faerlina SIn

Introduction

Greetings fellow Summoners! I'm Faerlina Sin and this is my take on a guide for the League of Legends Custom Game Mode: Hide and Seek. I first discovered League: Hide and Seek at the beginning of Season 3, when I looked into custom gaming. I haven't played since its inception, but I've played more Hide and Seek games than I'd care to admit. Over my extensive time playing this game mode, one common theme emerged: Disagreement on the rules. Everyone had a link to a different forum post, every forum post had a different set of rules, the rules were never updated for the constant changing of League of Legends, and this led to increased frustration in the custom community. This commonly resulted in trolling in about 80% of games. My goal here is to create a set of rules that everyone can respect; a set of rules that's fair to both hiders and seekers while maintaining the fun and excitement that comes with playing League of Legends.

Basics of Hide and Seek

The Basics

Hide and Seek is by far the most popular and easily recognizable custom game mode currently played in League of Legends, claiming its crown after ARAM graduated from Custom to Riot-Endorsed.

Sounds simple, right? Now, the two roles (Hider & Seeker) have their own rule sets, which I will cover in the next section. For now, let's take a look at some shared rules.

General Rules

- NO CHAMPIONS ARE PREBANNED UNLESS SPECIFIED BY THE GAME HOST!!

- No objectives may be captured on the Dominion Map.

- Both sides may take their respective Storm Shield. However, Hiders will immediately lose Grace if they try. Grace is explained in the Hider Specific Rules section.

- Only 2 slowing items are allowed per team, 1 active and 1 passive.

Active Slowing Items:

Passive Slowing Items:

Hider / Seeker Rules

Hider Specific Rules

Banned Items for Hiders: , , .

- Hiders that have been killed five times must stay on their spawn platform, on the outer ring, or on the storm shield. They may not run around in the jungle or areas obscured by fog of war.
- Hiders that have lost all five lives may not impact the game. For example, may not to a hider that has already lost all of his or her respective lives.
- Hiders may use only abilities that apply natural CC (Slow, Stun, Silence, Blind, Snare, Fear, Taunt, Grip, Knock-Up, Knock-Back, Throw, Exhaust, True Sight, Polymorph, Charm, Suppression), dash/leap/blinks, shields, movement speed increases and heals.
- Recently respawned Hiders are given a 0:30 grace period. If attacked or followed in this time, grace is reset and Hiders are allowed to recall to recover any missing health.
- Taking the Storm Shield forfeits grace.
- Items such as and do not convert an ability (i.e. ’s , ’s ) into allowed CC.
- You may not recall at any point during the game, unless you are attacked on grace.
- You may not auto-attack. (Example Exceptions: 's Active and ’s .)

- You may only place 1 trap/warded item per bush (, , , etc.)

Seeker Specific Rules

Banned Item for Seekers: None.

-You may not leave base until 2:00
- , Hextech Sweeper, and are not allowed until 15:00.
- When your health falls below 300, you must recall immediately. If you do not, Hiders are allowed to kill you.
- A Seeker may recall at any time. They may not, however, cancel the recall if there are Hiders in view. If the seeker chooses to interrupt their recall with hiders in view, the hiders may kill the seeker.
- Seekers may not use

Universal Ban Suggestions

These are NOT Perma-Bans. Merely suggestions.

- Known for her incredible speed and mobility, Sarah Jessica Parker is one formidable champion. The massive speed steroid from can cause her to seemingly vanish from the map, and if she happens to crash into a hider, they'll be lighting a single candle for half their missing health. can also navigate over nearly every structure.

- 's applies a mean slow whilst sporting an incredibly short cooldown and I don't think I really need to explain why is amazing in both roles... But I will anyway. The health relics found around the map make subsequent s a lot less painful, even with their devastating mana cost. This allows Space-Squid to stick to the vast majority of hiders, or elude the vast majority of seekers.

HIDER - Robo-Bug's triple invis from evolved combined with the range and low cooldown of evolved means trouble if you're a seeker without hard CC or an instant gap closer. By the time you reach the other side of the wall he ed over, he'll be halfway across the map.. And that's assuming you actually saw which way he flew.

SEEKER - Another snowball assassin, can one shot most squishies with minimal effort. Thanks to the isolation damage from , coupled with it's missing health % damage, this ability can easily take out over 50% of a hider's health. applies a slow while makes very sticky. And since that clearly isn't enough, he has his to sneak up and devour you. Good luck with that.

- Thanks to his passive, , coupled with his speed steroid, Udyr is a VERY difficult champion to catch without some form of hard CC. His stun from may only be 1 second, but that's really all he needs to disappear back into the fog of war. Conversely, as a seeker, can rip you to shreds if has built any form of Attack Damage or Critical Strike. 's stun will last for days and the increased move speed will make him very difficult to outrun. Udyr is scurry.

Suggested Hider Bans

- . Does anything else need to be mentioned? The only way to find Ms. Evelynn is with an ability like 's or 's , barring she doesn't walk over a turret with true sight or run into a seeker. is also an incredible move speed steroid that breaks any current slowing effects, not to mention her procs the passive.

- The Deceiver is one slippery witch! Her not only gives her the ability to blink over most walls, but she can also teleport back to her original location. also has her for the root. She can, of course, these spells as well for additional CC and escapes.

- Essentially this cute little armourdillo boils down to and puncturing taunt. The former just makes him a speed demon who can outrun pretty much any seeker and the latter can be used to assist your fellow hiders if they're being harassed.

- Whether he wants to around to juke, a seeker to assist his fellow hiders, or use his to mess with your mind, Shaco is a very slippery hider. Not to mention a strategically placed can completely ruin a seeker's pursuit.

- His passive, camouflage, makes him annoying to locate before and like-items become available at the 15 minute mark. The slow from his s, coupled with , can also make him incredibly evasive when camouflage isn't enough.

- This disgusting sewer rat can be obnoxious due to his AoE super slow from and speed steroid / low CD invis from . With full CDR and max rank, can be almost as annoying as WITHOUT the benefit of proximity-based vision.

- With the right amount of Cooldown Reduction, can have 100% uptime on his , thanks to . He can also use his to slow a hider by a massive amount for an obscenely long time. His ultimate, , may look incredibly overpowered as well at first glance, but don't purposely die to proc it. 's strength is speed, and since forces him to stand still to resurrect, the seekers will likely one shot up upon revival.

Suggested Seeker Bans

- Mortal Kombat's Jade has always had a certain finesse for slaughtering those unlucky enough to meet her kamas, and this game mode is no exception. The three charges of make her stickier than honey while slows you down, speeds her up, and just in general ruins your day.

- is a built in permaslow. procs her permaslow. is free vision. is global hard CC, provided you can land it. These, my friends, are the reasons you see the Frost Archer banned in nearly every Hide and Seek game.

- Definitely Not Bruce Lee has made a name for himself as the most mobile Ionian man of all time. The deceptive width of makes sidestepping... shall we say "difficult." Once he's on top of you, makes sure he stays there; finish up with a nice to the face, and you're dead. RIP.

- You had to know this was coming. is a targetted blink ability that deals massive damage with the ability to crit. deals bonus true damage, so have fun with that armour. makes pretty much impossible to outrun. Yes, I am bitter. I hate .

- Nid, Nih-Dolly, the Bestial Huntress.. Call her what you want, it matters little.. She's going to Spear. Your. Bum. Then eat your face. Human will easily do over half your health if you're squishy, followed up with a hunted cougar and cougar . Missed the spear? That's okay. The field is littered with traps. All she has to do is wait for some helpless to step on one. Dinner time.

- Notoriously hard hitting, can usually rip a target to shreds the moment he finds one. His makes running through the brush to escape him... Problematic. allows him to stick to most targets with ease. reveals all champions within a wide radius while simultaneously stealthing the Pridestalker. Did you hear that?! No, probably not. Because he one shot you.

- I'm only adding to this list as I see him being banned quite frequently. is very annoying for the true sight component, but the teleport from is easily spottable and avoidable. His gold card stun can be rather troublesome, but if you can just stay out of his range while he has it active, you'll be fine. can destroy careless hiders, but shouldn't be much of a problem for someone on alert.

- Another one hit wonder, will lock you down while this puppy gnaws off your face. has a deceptively long range with a pretty sizable heal. Round this out with constantly granting a heavy movespeed steroid and vision of injured hiders and you've got one beast of a seeker.

Suggested Hider Masteries

Always take 4/4 in Offense and 3/3 in Utility.

Defense Tree Options

Tier 1 // since all champions basic attack. isn't all that useful due to the abundance of health relics around the map, instead allocate your points to .

Tier 2 // for the same reason as , for the bonus health.

Tier 3 // It's tenacity. Less time on enemy CC means easier escapes. always for the scaling health. or depending on what type of damage the seekers are dealing.

Tier 4 // can help to top you off after a daring escape. if the seekers are one AP and on AD of equal threat. if they commonly crit. if they're AP.

Tier 5 // on champions with self heals like , , and . is free bonus armor/MR after items. if the seekers will be CC'd.

Tier 6 // A cool +3 armor / magic resist if one seeker is killing you and +6 if they're both trying to slaughter your face.

Notes: I've been less than impressed with the changes to the defensive tree when it comes to this game mode. The defensive option is still viable but speed has seen some nice buffs recently which lead me to recommend the Speed route unless you know you're going to out-tank seeker damage.

Always take 4/4 in Offense.

Utility Tree Explained

Tier 1 // is required, more movespeed means faster getaways. for the base mana, but it's mostly just a point sink.

Tier 2 // is great, more es and s!

Tier 3 // king here. Mo Money, Mo Items. will extend the duration of the Speed Shrines located around the map and can be a lifesaver if you're someone like who is constantly using her spells. That extra +15 health just might save you!

Tier 4 // is okay, you'll get your enchanted boots a little sooner and leave the base a bit earlier. could be a viable option for champions who constantly sit at low mana (), but the health relics also restore mana, so consider that before using your mastery points here.

Tier 5 // is decent as it will provide you some gold income when you harass the seekers. gives some nice CDR and reduces the cooldown on your active items, like talisman of ascension.

Tier 6 // is why you go for utility, the movespeed increase. Remember that this is just like ; if you take or deal damage, it goes away.

Notes: The full utility tree option is better implemented by champions that rely exclusively on speed and will likely be one shot if caught (think ). I might use this tree if I was feeling audacious but I personally don't think is worth sacrificing the tankiness you get from going the defensive route if you're a champion with a lot of escapes (think ).

Always get 3/3 in Utility.

// Seeker masteries are incredibly more simplistic than Hider masteries. Basically, you grab 3/3 in utility and dump the rest of your points into Offense. Assuming you've used the mastery system prior to reading this guide, I think it's pretty safe to say you can do your own masteries. Above is an example build for an AD Seeker. I use that exact page whenever I seek as or . and really don't impact you as much as you'd think, so if you find yourself needing points, try taking them from those slots before any others.

Q: If I don't have any points in Defense, won't I just get killed?
// The short answer is no, it really won't impact you that much. Assuming you want 21 points in offense for , the best you can hope for in the defense tree is . Since you're seeking, and likely building glass cannon, it won't scale off very much and have very little impact. and are also inconsequential since hiders shouldn't be basic attacking.

Suggested Runes

Suggested Hider Runes

Runes

Precision

Fleet Footwork

Phase Rush

Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed: As a hider, you'll constantly be fleeing for your life; the faster you run, the longer your life.
Greater Mark of Armor: I take these against most seekers, but especially against heavy AD like Riven or Vi.
Greater Mark of Magic Resist: This is a good alternative if the enemy seekers are both AP.
Greater Seal of Armor: Basically the same as the Armor Marks, used to reduce physical damage taken.
Greater Seal of Scaling Health: I use these against double AP seekers since it takes a while for AP to hit its strike, the scaling health will have you beefed up by the time they can reliably try to kill you.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist: Same reasoning as the Scaling Health Seals, most AP champions have a ramp up time and can't reliably kill someone until post level 6, which is when the Scaling Magic Resist glyphs surpass the flat ones.
Greater Glyph of Armor: A good choice against double AD teams, more armor.

Suggested Seeker Runes

Runes

Precision

Fleet Footwork

Phase Rush

Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed: As a seeker, you'll need to be catching up to those swift hiders; the faster you run, the sooner you whet your blade.
greater mark of hybrid penetration: A great option for AP seekers, as these marks have nearly as much Magic Pen as flat marks but the extra Armor Pen will help with the constant basic attacks you'll need to rely on during the early game.
greater mark of armor penetration: Armor Penetration marks are superior to Attack Damage marks as they'll negate the enemy's defenses instead of just making your attacks slightly stronger.
Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration: These will keep your mana a bit higher, since you're going to be spamming your abilities in your pursuit of the elusive hiders.
Greater Seal of Scaling Health: A good alternative for manaless champions, or basic attack reliant champions. Hiders will try to CC you, which will damage you. These will buy you a little more time before you're forced to recall.
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power: These glyphs surpass their flat counterparts around level six, which is when most AP characters gain the ability to reliably kill someone. Taking these will make you stronger in the late game as well.
Greater Glyph of Cooldown Reduction: Taking six of these, plus three Greater Glyph of Scaling Cooldown Reduction will give you 10% CDR at level 18, which is a nice alternative to having AP on Riven.
