Any reason why some of the more favorable Game Modes do not make it to the Rotating Game Modes more often? -Nemesis Draft (Pick Opponents Champion) -Doom Bots -One for All -One for All Mirror -Hexa Kill -Ultra Rapid Fire (Everyone's Favorite) -Black Market Brawlers -Definitely Not Dominion -Snow down show down
Lately its always: Ascension, Poro King, and Nexus Siege...[slayer-jinx-unamused]
Thoughts?
Pinkaj2 votesI think they're kept away until special occasions to keep players into the game, and those gamemodes are unique, and most popular. Ascension, Poro King and Nexus Siege are basically the same, since you need points to increase your chances to win, as well as getting ascended in ascension. You could say the same with Dark Star, but you kill them by throwing them into the dark star.

That's like saying every game mode in League is the same, since you need to destroy the opponent's nexus to win. Or like saying basketball, soccer, and golf are the same, since you're trying to get a ball into a goal.
Pinkaj1 votesWell i guess I couldn't explain it then. Dark Star doesn't involve destroying the nexus, neither does Ascension. I guess I meant you need points to activate something or activate something to help you win
Minarde1 votesThe execution is still significantly different. Plus, it's not like League's game modes are generally that varied to begin with. Most modes are variations of either SR or Dominion (Blood Moon and Dark Star being the notable exceptions).
Yes, there's "points to activate something," but that's just a superficial similarity. For instance, you win in both SR and Dominion by depleting the enemy team's nexus health, but how you deplete that health, and how gameplay progresses, is vastly different.

RenownedWheat422 votesI'm pretty thrilled with the constant Ascension, personally. It's my favorite game mode by far.
Sukishoo1 votesRiot has already said that "Black Market Brawlers" probably won't return as it suffered from a split identity crisis.

Snowdown Showdown under preformed so it won't return. http://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/2017/04/ask-riot-snowdown-showdown-and-pro-kills/
Doom Bots was brought back for the Harrowing Event last year, and was seen on the PBE just recently so it may come back sooner.
URF is meant to be rarely seen and was reworked into ARURF.
Minarde1 votesOff the top of my head,
-Nemesis Draft (Pick Opponents Champion)
Think that was actually one of the less popular ones, but I'm not certain.
-Ultra Rapid Fire (Everyone's Favorite)
Stale and boring with the stagnant lack of champ variety. ARURF was an attempt to refresh it.
-Black Market Brawlers
Addressed in the most recent Ask Riot. Basically, too much stuff going on in that mode with both items and minions to be satisfying.
-Snow down show down
Addressed way back when it first showed up. Too much time spent in queue, lobby, and loading; not enough time in-game. Plus, it was supposedly fairly unpopular.
