Ascension (or something else) for real tho

So why not just make Ascension an actual game mode? I know its not everyone's cup of tea, but I feel out of playing serious league a while ago and really just mess around on ARAM occasionally (and poro when available). To that end, I sure would play a whole lot more if ascension was regularly available to just jump in and have some fast-paced fun with a hard time-cap.

League is the biggest online multiplayer game of all time and only has 3 game modes during the week, that seems completely unnecessary from a queue time perspective...

Why not give players some consistent options after 8 years of development and 67 million monthly players. Hell now that you've almost managed to push out a new client, the sky's the limit!

Sure the current strategy has worked well for Riot with the focus on core gameplay and esports, hell even I still enjoy catching the LCS. But with the coming esports explosion if something beats out LoL eventually, it'll be easy to go back and say, "man, how did a game with so much time in development and such an active user base offer the users so little options." <3

Considering that Riot removed Dominion about a year ago, claiming that League couldn't support it, and that TT and ARAM aren't supported much at all either, it seems exceedingly unlikely that Riot would add another permanent mode. Unfortunately, Riot doesn't seem to care about players "having options." To Riot, League consists solely of SR, and all other modes are just temporary distractions from SR.

Overall, it's just disappointing that Riot's mantra of "be player-focused" apparently doesn't apply to non-SR players.
