Custom Games Discussion Thread

What Custom Games are you guys enjoying the most? I personally haven't looked much outside of the Most Popular list but I'll try to compile a list of descriptions and my impressions. Will be editing this as I remember more stuff.

Overthrow - Probably the most popular mode, players are split into small teams and fight to be the first to 25 kills. "King of the Hill" type circle in the middle, that grants passive EXP gain while you are inside. Items spawn at a random location after a short delay. Very fun mode, requires a lot of team chemistry. Official Valve release.

Skillshot Wars - Another very popular mode, everyone has the same 4 skills (Pudge Hook, Mirana Arrow, Sunstrike, Clockwerk Hook), first to 50 kills wins. Most items are located at "Secret Shop" at the top of the map, with pricing adjusted. Extremely fun mode and one of my favorites.

Sniper Duel - FFA sniper fight with modified skills (One-shot kill Q, Machine Gun spray, Shotgun, and very short Immunity Ulti). Some similarities to Overthrow with the circle in the middle, and items spawn randomly in the middle of the circle with similar notification and delay. Another fun mode, made by Cyborgmatt.

Dota Run - Like Mario Kart, but twice as infuriating :) A race to the finish between 8 players who are granted different items/skills to create an advantage or disrupt other players. There are also a number of obstacles laid out over the map to slow/stun all players who are hit, as well as some made specifically to slow down the player in first place. Very fun, but I take no responsibility for you breaking your keyboard after playing this :)

Life In Arena - A mostly survival based game where 8 players choose from a set of heroes with custom skills and items. Spawns a large number of units so requires a good host, otherwise your game will freeze on every wave. After a couple of waves of survival, the game pits the 8 players against each other in duels of 2 players. These seem to somehow be separate by perceived strength, probably EXP but I'm not sure. First few waves of survival are challenging if you're unfamiliar with the playstyle, otherwise it is fairly simple. A fun mode, but very buggy. It's a hilarious mode to play with friends, especially when you get pit in duels against each other, but there are some players who will probably not enjoy this.

(Some set of Chinese? characters)R - I'm not on my gaming pc so can't check the exact name, currently on the most popular list. A survival based game with some RPG type elements. Between waves you can move around the map and hunt creeps or bosses, some of which drop very good items. Some bugs, especially regarding blank item and skill descriptions, but an interesting concept. I found this mode very confusing at first, and fairly challenging, but after a few plays I enjoy it quite a bit.
