Sad truth of Rotating game mode

KiritoErenMikasa·1/15/2017, 6:35:12 AM·25 votes·5,712 views

"There's a few reasons, but one of the MAIN reasons is that URF does not currently work correctly in the updated Client. Hopefully after we get all the modes functional, we'll have a wider rotation again :) --- Rioter Sephoroth

One of the reasons??? I'm confused here, because when they say and quote an example to the community the "MAIN" reason its not playable, anyone realize just how watered down that sounds.. its not currently functional on the new client?? So that has stopped you to put it on the old client? How mental does that sound? We can still play the old client, its like they are saying we cant access it anymore what a sad excuse. Also When they say when they get all the modes Functional meaning?? Considering its one of the most requested and least put on besides doombots, its likely to be the last one updated... But in all consideration How dare they tell us they wont give it to us. So given how many times we didn't get URF or any other game mode for that matter besides poro king and Ascension, this is there sad excuse.

Noticed they didn't even title it Rotating game mode, its just "Ascension is live" well at least they're being honest about how Ignorant there favoritism is of a "ROTATING GAME MODE", that they are just telling everyone that its just a select few meaning to there own liking instead of what the community wants meaning "two" game modes they prefer. CONGRATS RIOT applause

You can already tell which game modes they prefer the only ones that are playable on the new client... smh how sad.

How hard is it to just do this.... 4 weeks in a month... 1 Full entire week for each game mode which gives a large margin of time for each player depending on situations, you honestly dont even think about player base at all. ACTUALLY ROTATE GAME MODES, poor choices and overused and overrated PORO KING AND ASCENSION these games Modes need to go on a major hiatus. in the last 6 months what do you think of when you hear league of legends "Rotating" game mode? I dont even think of urf, I think of Poro KING and Ascensions

Its quite sad to be Honest.

if this was a Kitchen, Chef Ramsey would tell you to pull your head out of your asses

Do you not listen to your customers? are they not always right and to make them happy?

Whats the point of having a link for Feedback if you havent changed anything, there are distastes in everyones mouth for how bland this Rotating game mode its disgusting

List of everything we've gotten in 2016 4/8 Ascension 4/15 Legend of the Poro King 4/22 Urf (Ultra Rapid Fire) 4/29 Hexakill -Twisted Treeline 5/6 One For All 5/13 Ascension 5/20 Urf (Ultra Rapid Fire) 5/27 Definitely Not Dominion 6/3 Legend of the Poro King 6/10 Hexakill - Twisted Treeline 6/17 One For All 6/24 Ascension 7/1 Hexakill - Twisted Treeline 7/8 Definitely Not Dominion 7/15 Nexus Siege 7/22 Nexus Siege 7/29 Legend of the Poro King 8/5 One For All 8/12 Ascension 8/19 Nemesis Draft 8/26 Hexakill - Twisted Treeline 9/2 Nexus Siege 9/9 Legend of the Poro King 9/16 One For All 9/23 All Random Urf 9/30 Ascension 10/7 Definetly Not Dominion 10/14 Hexakill - Twisted Treeline 10/20 Doom Bots of Doom 10/28 Doom Bots of Doom 11/4 Legend of the Poro King 11/11 Ascension 11/18 Ascension 11/25 One For All 12/2 One For All 12/9 Nexus Seige 12/14 Legend of the Poro King 12/23 Legend of the Poro King 12/30 Legend of the poro King

URF fans : Hey Rito ! Having to wait for 11 months to play URF is a bit long, don't you think ? We really like this mode.

Rito : Hold on, I'm going to create a rotating thing. You'll get URF and a few other modes every weekend. At least 2 weekends of URF !

URF fans : Sounds nice, but will we get as much URF as before ?

A year later.

URF fans : Ehrm... Rito ? We got 2 weekends of URF... And Poro King was up for 9 weekends this year...

Rito : DID YOU JUST SAY "WE WANT 4 WEEKS OF PORO KING THIS DECEMBER AND MORE ASCENSION" ?

URF fans : Eh... No ?

Rito : DON'T WORRY HERE IS PORO KING, NEXT MODE IS ASCENSION !

URF fans : Rito plz stahp

my problem isn't even urf

my problem is that everything else is straight up garbage except all for one

imagine if riot worked to do other game modes like: -retro game mode you're allowed to play things of the past -league of legends imba: every champions are brought to their strongest patch

ect...

i'm mostly enjoying game modes. I just dislike poro king and i feel like they do that very often. I also dislike hexakill but otherwise i'm down for pretty much all the game modes.

I just wanna play nemesis draft...

Well, understanding that the reason Poro king was live for 4 weeks was because it's considered an event, such as the harrowing that brought along doom bots of doom and the Teemoing. I can get past it being an event for the date but what I can't get past is it randomly happening.

I am not personally a fan of a gamemode that isn't very unique. I don't like when riot goes, "Oh, lets add another person on the map. That'll be unique and fun right?" or when they say "Remember that thing we got rid of? Let's bring it back but this time, let's make it sandy/tower defense."

It's really annoying.

Don't forget that the 'rotating', was because riot didn't want to keep any alternative game modes other than aram & twisted treeline. Just ask the people who played dominion.

Right now its ascension and im not even playing it just playing ARAM. Seriously ARURF and Nexus siege are the few game modes i actually enjoy but Rito thinks otherwise

TyrekGoldenspear1/15/2017, 2:15:37 PM3 votes

It's not sad for me. I actually enjoy all these modes.

I wasn't raised on URF so to speak, and quite honestly the gameplay can get old fast.

sirwaterfles1/15/2017, 7:21:48 PM2 votes

URF gets incredibly boring really fast. Its fun for the first evening than its just the same 8 superfrustrating champs every single game and the flaming starts because for some unexplicalbe reason people actually start to care about winning in this troll gamemode that should be just for fun.

Spoofghoul1/15/2017, 3:24:02 PM2 votes

i dont care about urf it kinda sucks the tryharding took the fun out of it

would like more hexakill, nemesis draft and definitely dominion
