Riot: "Old game modes like Hexakill and One For All aren't compatible with the new client"
Also Riot: "We implemented a completely new game mode into the client with a UI made of entirely new components!" [slayer-jinx-unamused]

They developed the Games for the old Client, this is a new Mode for a new Client. I loved them too, don't get me wrong, but this is just biased.
Yeah, totally.
It's not like a lot of time has passed since then, or that they haven't had other game modes after they said that.
Oh wait.
Revert the client. That dogshit barely works half the time anyway.
The client and League's game are, imho, two different things. It's like saying that when Apple released Logic X, which had a totally revamped GUI, it had to rewrite Logic 9's code from scratch: blatantly wrong. The client is just a mask, what Riot did was simply rewriting it and updating it, but I doubt anything, game-wise, has changed at all: actually, when the game starts, the old client's icon bumps up, alongside the client's new one. So, the story about the client "not supporting the old game modes" sounds like a big, fat lie. Of course there are elements of those game modes that need to be adapted, but it's a relatively light work because everything else is already there (the game's script, the items etc). Riot probably just tried to say that they were busy with other projects, like TFT.
Is Riot implying that Ivasion, Overdrive and Nexus Siege are not compatible with the client which was released before they were?
it's almost like something was developed using old technology. Try playing an old PC in todays PCs and tell me how well they run without you having to go through hoops and loops to even get them to start. They could make those modes work for the new client or they could develop new modes for it.
Well yea, new FREE game modes won't make $$$
Riot: ''we can't spare the manpower to fix the rotating game modes'' also riot: ''we created a completely new game mode that might as well be it's own game in 5 months'' Riot can fix the rotating game modes they just don't want to, they created auto-chess to chase the latest craze and they then added lootboxes to it, this tells you all you need to know what Riot cares about the most, they're just any other AAA lootbox company now
Totally a trustful and absolutely not shady company.
Smells like bull to me, like everything they've said and done recently.
