These rotating game modes getting disabled every Monday is kind of dumb.

I played poro king once this weekend. I was busy spamming normal draft to get my S rank chest and ranked to gain ELO, I didn't really have the drive to play "poro king." I played ascension 0 times last weekend. But throughout the week, when I was bored of regular League, I had the urge to play ascension after it was gone.

People generally play "for fun" modes when they "feel like it." Having it be a scheduled thing where "you have to play it on these 3 days of the week or it's gone" is kind of dumb.

Splatoon does this with Splatfest (it only lasts 24 hours). Do you know why it actually works? Because people actually like Splatfest, and it only happens once every 3-5 weeks. (And has rewards attached to actually playing it). A permanent "for fun" rotating game mode in a MOBA game (with no special rewards) should not have similar limitations. It should be open ALL week, and simply ROTATE on Fridays. Then even if I miss the mode I want to play - something else will be there when I DO want to play it.

We have ARAM for fun. Rotating modes are just something extra to have fun and get rewards.

ARAM isn't fun. ARAM-only accounts ruin the mode. I haven't played it in 2 years, and they STILL haven't fixed it, even though they've acknowledged and talked publicly about the problem.

You haven't played it in 2 years and you say it's not fun....I play it all the time and the ARAM only accounts ar at the all time low... I get more out of League in ARAM these days...

That's because you're bronze 5.

My ARAM MMR is pretty high, and since "ARAM accounts" play the mode competitively you only really see them in higher ARAM ELO. Which is why I used to play the mode and quit. I won too much, which put me against ARAM accounts, which made it unfun.

I've got 2 NA 1 EUNE ( main ) and 1 EUW accounts... this is my new account months old and i mainly play ARAM not even woried about rank... What entitles you to doubt me based on nothing... I came here to tell you ARAM is at a healthy state, and since you haven't played it in 2 years how can you say it's not. But you do you... i came here to help you understand LoL is not what it used to be...

You've played 85 ranked games on it. That's um... A lot.

How is 85 a lot this season... i play that much in 2 weeks on my main...this is going nowhere if you wanna argue...i came here to give my opinion... so take it however you want... obviously you don't know what an opinion is... i have mine and you have yours... mine is based on something i do allmost every day and yours on something you've done 2 years ago...so i put mine here to show you you might be wrong and might wanna give it another try... if that doesn't make you question it and give it a try i don't care...but don't go pointlessly arguing...

So you play league 4-5 hours straight everyday not including any games you may play on your 3 alts?

SrbLud1 votes

something like that...as i said i got a lot of free time...self employed...go open the shop and close it in the evening...inbetween i game a lot...what's so weird about it...and i don't dedicate the same amount to my alts...my main is a couple of hours a day and my aram for a couple of games a day...i don't play every day but 5/7 would be my estimate...

Let me put it this way: if I were to make a new account, and if I were to roll dice and play a random champion I have never played before every game, I would not even be able to get the account to bronze 5 after 85 games unless I intentionally fed. That's how bad it is. Bronze 5 is worse than intermediate bots lmao.

So you have a problem with people having a different opinion than you and you go around spreading toxicity for what? Why am i gonna even bother on an alt? I don't have to explain what i do and why i do it. I came here to help you out and all you do is trow insults around...good for you kid...

If I went and lost like 50 games in a row, then I too would no longer be playing with ARAM-only accounts.

Not everyone enjoys Aram. Once upon a time, I loved Aram when I was bored of the rift. Now when I am bored of the rift, I am kind of just done. The thing is, not everyone gets the same enjoyment as others. Having a rotating list of "Fun modes" is kind of dumb in its own right, but I do agree with the idea of leaving it open for the week until the next one replaces it.

Think about something like (cant believe I have to use this as my example) Call of Duty. It has a list of game modes. Clearly Team Death Match is the Rift of that game. Always blows the other game types away when you look at the percentage of players playing certain game modes. You even have modes split into core/hardcore variants.

To top it all off, you have things like Capture the flag sitting at a reliable 1% people playing. Even through all that, game modes get played and the "Rift" for that game still dominates in having the largest play pool. This could easily be done on league as well, but it isn't.

I just feel people should be able to play things for fun when they want to have fun lol.

riot should make it to where the game mode lasts all week but you only get prizes (hextech crafting, ip boosts, and whatnot) during the weekend

I would like to have these available all week, too. I like other modes to take breaks from ranked. Riot just probably doesn't want the queue times to get even longer since too many people are playing the fun mode.

Support. Its like Riot saying "we can't split the queues up, because it would make it harder to find games for those who aren't playing the fun game mode" when in reality people actually bother getting online to play the fun game mode.

I think it's because if rito runs the special game mode all week long, it will put too extra work to the server.
