I Think Ascension is most balanced game mode right now

Exp and Gold are distributed equally, preventing from complete stomps
Has a ban phase, so you can ban complete cancer champs like shaco/teemo
Has way less cancer champs than SR
Has more strategies than SR
Requires teamwork to win
Takes less time than SR game

So, why don't we bring Ascension as a basic game mod, and put SR into RGM queue until the shit currently happening with game is fixed? I never liked Ascension, i would rather have old Dominion back, but man, it feels much better to play with new runes than SR games.

The faster pace and more flexible team options in Ascension/Dominion were always what attracted me to them. It was the only game mode where I didn't have to play support in every single game and could experiment with the mechanics of new champions instead of feeding for a 15 minute laning phase after finally getting a solo lane after months of not getting it.

Dominion was the most balanced gamemode, which is why Riot deleted it.

I agree with making a Crystal Scar mode like Ascension or Dominion permanent at least. We need at least one non-snowballing/non-laning mode (where you can pick whatever champion you want) back again.

put urf in ascension, make the kill cap 250 and boom, balanced and fun urf.

I think the most balanced game mode was dominion. RIP that. Almost all dominion games I played were real close. There were no cases of crazy snowballing, and every champion was usable in one way or another.

Yeah, I also liked poro king (don't hurt me). Let's all take a break from URF...maybe bring back One For All

The day Ascension becomes a regular game mode is the day SR loses 30% of its population. So we'll never get it regularly just like we'll never get regular URF back.

its played less then f****** twisted treeline I bet, maaaan just bring back ascension or add a feature like hide and seek that was what really ruined league for me. Literally 2 of my close friends left the game because all of the new change. The aspect of fun and relaxation of league slowly went to trihard and tilt

SR has that too?

Requires teamwork to win

The last time I played Ascension I solo carried rushing Trinity Force on Nidalee. Have this mode really changed THAT much since it was first released?

We need a permanent non-snowballing mode that allows people to test out champs without being subjected to the laning phase.

I agree :)

Why do you think it always comes back as a RGM?

Just let that sink in...

Rengar on Ascension.

Dominion was so fucking fun and chill mode to play. I really miss it. Had over 3k wins and it never got boring. This game desperately needs a permanent game mode that's not that laning/cs dependant.

The complete equal distribution of exp and gold is why this mode isn't balanced.

Good play isn't rewarded with a lead in stats or items.

I like ascension but it has its issues.

Don't even get started on cancer champs like Shaco, teen, heimerdinger, sona, garen... etc.
