Actually I support your play styles. True, some people think its dumb to have them but when your bored its always fun to mess around with the other modes.

I usually play them with my brother without stats. Pretty funny when your playing item drop. Death not only means you lose an item but also means your chance of losing the game is higher lol.(+ with the Xmas theme, the present box looks awesome when you see it floating after your enemy is dead)

i hate item drop mode... got 1 time i play, me and my fren ganked opponent 3 times, he drop stupid item such as minor totem.. runes of blight.. mana potion...
then we died... i drop my hotbl.. he drop his codex lvl4..
