Rotating Game Modes- a Suggestion

starchîld·6/6/2017, 4:45:22 PM·3 votes·563 views

Currently, the rotating queue is only available on weekends- which while it does make sense, I have to wonder why? I don't know about the rest of the community, but I almost never get time to play League of Legends on the weekends. I usually end up using it to go out, get stuff done, whatever it be. So when I hear that my favorite mode is on rotation, and I won't have any time to play it, of course I get a little bit disappointed.

Why not have the modes available all week?

Now I'm sure this has been suggested before, which has me wondering why I couldn't find a "why". Is it a server issue? Is it because if there's a mode up that is unpopular, it'd be just taking up space for a week? Both are valid points, so I suppose I could understand, I'm just a "you never know until they tell you" kind of guy.

And, another thing, with the new client couldn't we include something that tells us what's currently in rotation? What we should expect within the coming weeks? I don't know what the pre-set rotation is off the top of my head, so I'd like to have a reminder around. Thoughts? Things you want out of the rotation? Less Ascension?

Maybe because they would get boring after 3 days of playing it,depending on which mode you like most. And in this way,rankeds and normals will have much longer queue times,and probably much more autofills

Because it would force RIOT to face the fact that some gamemodes aren't wanted (and would stop being played after 3 days) and others (coughURF/ONEFORALLcough) are loved by a vast majority and would be played as much as ARAM even if they were playable all year long. Btw, I'm pretty sure ARAM is as much or even more played than regular games, so this proves their argument of "gamemodes get stale after a while" is just wrong. Bad gamemodes get stale (Dominion, ARURF, Ascension). Good gamemodes don't. Do note though that "bad gamemodes" means "gamemodes that I personnally don't like", it's not a fact. Do note too that you liking them doesn't count as a fact neither. These gamemodes being the last popular ones is a fact though.
