Rotating game modes, why not Permanent?

I absolutely LOVE ascension, URF, and other modes like doom bots and poro king.

and i LOVE the fact that i can finally play them again.

but what i don't understand is WHY i can only get them for TWO DAYS?

Why cant they ALWAYS be an option???

Because they would split the community and create a lack of "demand" for any single gamemode, exponentially increasing wait times and overall unenjoyment for all the gamemodes which no one wants

My god you drank the cool aid. Riot wants everything to be about rift and they like to misrepresent that Dominion wasn't the majorities cup of tea as proof that other game modes being permanent is bad. Treeline got sh*t on when rift got reworked, which probably doesn't help the other game modes being permanent is bad mm'kay statistic. Seriously, U.R.F without perma-bans and with no cast cost for any type of champ would be amazing and better than normal rift in every way.

It's a simple business model: More options for a set amount of players = less players for any single gamemode

Under this fact, we know queue times will increase as the lack of compatible players to be matched with decreases

Another fact: Interest in special gamemodes do decrease the longer they are made available.

Knowing this, as people generally leave gamemodes such as URF after awhile (and we are talking about the community as a whole, not your personal preferences) queue times will increase even further for the select few that continue to play these special gamemodes.

It splits the community and is an overall waste of time/money/server space for both Riot and the Community
