I really enjoyed this game mode. It was the only reason i started playing again after a 2 year hiatus. Is is perma gone? Are they balancing? I cant seem to find any information as to why its not on my Game Mode anymore.

It's an alternate game mode. About the time you stopped, they introduced a bunch of new game modes over time.

One for All: Everyone plays the same champion on each team.

Nemesis: The enemy team picks your champions for you.

Doombots: Co-op vs. AI against some obscenely hyperbuffed bots.

Ascension: A kill-based brawl in the Dominion map with Ascended Xerath in the center as a semi-epic monster. Whoever kills Xerath gains immense power at the cost of sustainability.

URF (Ultra Rapid Fire): 80% CDR and infinite mana for everyone, on top of a heap of other buffs.

Legend of the Poro King: ARAM map. Like regular ARAM, except you throw snowballs at each other with a one minute cooldown summoner spell. Landing 10 or so snowballs summons the Poro King, which acts as a super minion.

Burning Tides: Special Bilgewater-based event. A whole heap of new items and minions are added into the regular SUmmoner's Rift game for an extremely chaotic experience. Also the announcer is replaced by Gangplank.

Definitely Not Dominion: Like regular Dominion (which was removed earlier this year), but now the minion push is linear and each team has control over one node at all times.

The Game Mode Queue is only during the weekend.

Is the rotation supposed to force me to play the Normal modes? Because I have zero reason to play until the mode is active again. I dont care for the actual game as much as I used to. I enjoyed the low stress, less competitive nature of the alternate game modes.

Hopefully it never ever ever comes back? That stuff was so bad.

First of all, we had TWO straight weekends of Nexus Siege, I think some people might be getting sick of that gamemode for now (And yeah, even of ascension for the 5th time coming up. -.-).

Second, the gamemodes are from friday to monday, so you have 4 days to play gamemodes. I think that should be enough.

they were a bit lazy with that mode. it feels like it should have had its own map. it was ok for a proof of concept, but the fact that they just reused summoners rift with part of the map blacked out was weak.
