Can we make the Rotating Gamemode Queue more consistent?

TheSlogs··37 votes·1,368 views

The idea of a rotation is that you have a list of something that you go through. A rotation of a circle of something(in this case gamemodes) is consistent. If you do not do this, then you are not doing a rotation. Right now the weekend gamemodes are not a Rotating Gamemode Queue, they are a Random Gamemode Queue.

"We here at Riot change the RGM depending on popularity and demand." "We want Ultra Rapid Fire and Doom Bots of Doom" "Here you go. Ascension for the 6th time."

LMAO. This is literally it. I swear, Riot is like my gym for sarcasm and sighing, the place I go to hone my proficiency with the two.

You can't "just" add Doombots, the game has changed so much since last time they'd have to completely rewrite them.

RGM has been out for 6 months, that's plenty of time for reprogramming DoomBots

Giga Kahuna3 votes

keep in mind they can't just take the q of a character and say "okay now shoot everywhere", i'd assume they have to re-write the code for the spell and then just use the original assets

Jinzo Torrance2 votes

One skill every two days and we would have DoomBots by now (4 months required). The DoomBots were 15 if you don't remember or didn't know.

Giga Kahuna1 votes

for going completely smooth on that basis you'd be right but i'm sure they'd want more than 15 characters, there'd be bugs, etc that'd take up more time and extend the time it takes to make doombots again

this is also assuming they directed a decent portion of the code writers that could keep a two days for one spell basis, which doesn't look to be the case since we got kled recently, and now yorick is getting a full rework, which is basically just making a whole new character with kind-of the same theme

Just keep the doom bots the exact way they were last time, for nostalgia!

the problem is they cant do that because of whatever updates they did or something.

We want black market brawlers*

Keepe1 votes

It's called Siege now.

Faustavian1 votes

No...... Black Market Brawlers was super, awesome fun. Seige is too, but it's not BMB.

They could give it with the last SR map. I wouldn't mind playing there.

"Here at riot games we like to change the meaning of words."

We started with "Toxic". As a very obscure term, rarely used to describe someone's beheviour it now become a phenomenon constantly used everywhere, all thx to us. We also like to call "lottery" to "majority". Your surrender votes are a "lottery" ;) Recently we are trying to make "rng" be called "rotating". So that it becomes a more cool term, just because :D

Personally All for One is my favorite queue. It's a shame it's so damn rare. Between a 20% chance, constant dodgers, and premade 3&4s dictating what we play as... it's hard enough to play what I want to play. Aurlion Sol, Vel'Koz, Heimerdinger, Vayne.. etc. But no, we get the game mode once every other month-ish and when it's up all there's time for is 'hurr durrr let's all five be Fizz and Jhin' lol. If you wanna be Fizz go play normals >_<

Off topic but yeah. Tired of ascension

AramsAreBest1 votes

Heimerdinger is overplayed in one for all

A Liberal3 votes

Really? I never see him. For me everyone wants to play Yasuo, Malphit, Shen, and Fizz.

My favorites are Urgot, Zyra, and Zilean

I've always wanted to play yorick. just find a guy and ghoul 'em. 25 player-created of controlled units onscreen @once

Matezoide1 votes

Gotta try to play Yorick there before his rework.

I did once and can confirm it is amazing. We shat super hard on the Vayne team, while having a shit ton of fun with our ults.

Definetly better than the standard Yasuo/Zed shit.

Admitidely, i had to explain to 2 guys on my team a few Yorick basics, and lane was awful for them, but they caught on soon enough.

Supreme Senpai691 votes

I've been able to play as him exactly one time and someone AFK'd before minions spawned because they didn't want to be him but they forgot to dodge or something

I keep voting Heim, but no one else wants to play him...

If people could stop. Choosing. Bard. In. One. For. All...

I got level 3 on Bard only from different One for All games. I quit playing it unless I'm in a premade.

He is fun, but not 6 times in a row, and ONLY BARD. There are other champions who seem fun, like Kled Jhin etc...

Supreme Senpai691 votes

Yeah you can't really enjoy the mode unless you're premade, but that just heavily contributes to the issue.

waa i want urf

A Liberal2 votes

It seems like LOTPK, Ascension, and Hexakill are constantly there. My favorite mode is URF And we've seen it like... twice... luckily they reintroduced nemisis draft which I really like (mostly with friends because of people who are like herp derp let's give them Yorick galio urgot evelynn and zilean and than complain when we get shit on), and one for all is like next week I think which I really like as well (although once again, with friends because having to play the same 5 champions every game gets really old)

Matezoide2 votes

Did anyone really think RGM wasnt going to be a fiasco?

Junkο1 votes

They are consistent. Riot just removed URF cause they are afraid of it being more popular than the actual game.

Word. It's pretty bizarre. So much about this game is like descending into this weird little Twilight Zone that you could never believe existed before you experienced it.
