We desperately need less gimmicky game modes

Professor Ward·Jul 11, 2017·3 votes·299 views

As someone who is always looking for a way out of the 40+ minute arguments we call summoners rift, I cant help but notice how terrible other game modes have been for multiple seasons. Ascension is bleh, thresh mode is bleh, assassin mode is OK at best, poro king is aram reroll bleh, and urf, which everyone is on their hands and knees begging for, gets the smallest amount of spotlight.

We need an arena mode We need a 1v1 mode We need a single lane 2v2 mode We need a free for all mode I feel that riot is tunnel vision'd into these super gimmicky modes that have a shelf life of 4 games played, versus going with what they know works, and building from there.

As of now aram is my only choice for quick, tilt free, quality games. And after 5000 of those I'm getting bored :D

I wish Riot would make some of those modes. I see no reason not to invest some time into them. They are simple and have shown to work in numerous other games. I don't need these mega gimmicks to have fun.

We had a 1v1 and single lane 2v2 mode.

They lasted all of 10 games before people were bored.

I like Ascension, Blood Moon, and Darkstar. I wish one for all(not mirror mode) was around more. And i dislike URF.

We need an arena mode

Not gonna happen

We need a 1v1 mode

They tried it, it failed, next.

We need a single lane 2v2 mode

Not happening.

We need a free for all mode

Seems pointless and not happening.

Don't understand the apostrophe in "vision'd" as it isn't a possessive. In any event, everyone wants something other than Poro King and Ascension but Riot is generally obliged to ignore us, so there you go.

I generally hate ARAM since all the changes they've made---even before the changes the mode was really all about whoever has Lux, Xerath, Sona, Vel'koz wins.

So not gonna happen is what youre going to say? Not sure how free for all would be pointless, everything ever done on this earth has been pointless but hey, we keep goin'(<-<-<-remember this apostrophe later in the post) you seem to just be coming off as a cuck so, Great comments man! Really helped out!

As for apostrophes? Well you asked for it didn't yah? So read closely and maybe youll learn something.

Apostrophes are only possessive when in front of** the letter s** (sometimes after, but always an s or s sound) John's fail... Mark's fail... Scary Door's fail... Wal-Mart's fail... The Swiss' fail...( Notice here common use would create "The Swiss's fail" so instead of the triple "s", the apostrophe is placed after the last s sound)

Apostrophes can also be used when placeholding for multiple, or even one letter (usually the letter o) in a CONTRACTION.

Some examples:

Can't Won't Haven't Didn't Doesn't
In every one of these examples listed the apostrophe is placeholding for the letter "o" in the word "not", writing it takes just as long but in speech it flows smoother this way.

And if you're going to get real spicy use ones without not:

I'll (place holding for both w and i in "i will") We'd (place holding for w, o, u, l, in "we would") One of the more effecient uses They've(place holding for the h, a, in "they have")

**None of these are even close to having to do with possession **so before you come in here with your half baked excuse for being an asshole, get your English 1 skills up...

Except you used the apostrophe in a word that doesn't require it, is not a contraction, possessive or accent emphasis.

As for the rest of your post, well... Riot won't be implementing those game modes as they have either stated such on previous occasions or those modes wouldn't be practical/viable and would require far too much maintenance.

you seem to just be coming off as a cuck so, Great comments man! Really helped out!

Speaking of great comments.

I went to Webster's Unabridged Dictionary to look up the word "cuck" and couldn't find it, but did find cuckold---I'm not sure what my having sex with another man's wife so as to make them a 'cuckold' has to do with this conversation, but hey you sure added a lot to the thread here.

Apart from your proposed modes also having a rather low shelf life (with arena probably the longest depending on implementation), two of them (1v1 and 2v2) are easily duplicatable through custom games, which is why I don't see why they should make a gamemode out of it.

They just need to stick to their guns, which they don't do. Put back hexakill, put back one for all, put back urf(not arurf), and make better modes in general. I know I'll get downvoted, but I despise darkstar. It's fun for like 1 game, than quickly gets boring.
