Re "Poro King Again?" (L4T3NCY, GHOSTCRAWLER, MEDDLER & RUMTUMTUMMERS)

From "Poro King Again?"

We still aim to build new modes and release them as often as we can to you guys (we just released Blood Moon and Dark Star modes this year). Unfortunately, we can’t build a whole Dark Star mode every month though. In between, rather than have nothing at all on the weekends, we bring back some reliable favourites (EG: Ascension & Poro King), so there’s still something fun to play when you want a break from the regular game.

It's weird that you didn't mention URF, given that it is one of the most popular modes. No other game mode has inspired petitions (many with tens of thousands of signatures) imploring you to bring it back.

I can't imagine why you'd choose not to even mention it.

Edit: For anyone who missed it, there was a poll of Boards users last week. I'll include the results (as of this edit) below.

"How frequently should URF appear in some form in the RGM queue?"

| Answer ||  Votes  ||   % of Total | |:-------||:---:||---:| | Most frequent || 17 || 16.50 | | Among highest: e.g. Poro King  || 16 || 15.53| | Much more than now || 30 || 29.12 | | A little more than now || 20 || 19.41 | | Good as is || 4 || 3.88 | | As little as possible || 6 || 5.82 | | Never || 2 || 1.94 | | Don't care || 8 || 7.76 | |...............................||.....||.......| | Total ||   103    || 100 %|

I think the results speak for themselves, but we can group the responses according to their desired outcome to make it clearer. I like this grouping:

1. YY: "Most frequent", "among highest", "much more"
2. Y: "Slightly more"
3. N: "Good as is"
4. NN: "Least possible", "never"

Notice that the grouping I chose gives the two negative answers an inflated representation by counting them together. I also combined the "good as is" category with them in the table below to emphasize the skew of the sample.

 

| Answer ||  Votes  ||   % of Total | |:-------||:---:||---:| | YY || 63 || 66.32 | | Y || 20 || 21.05 | | N, NN || 12 || 12.62 | |...............................||.....||.......| | Total ||   95    || 100 %|

 

I excluded people who responded "don't care" from any of the groups, although their responses made a difference in the interpretation. Relative to how often URF appears now,

• 87% of respondents who cared think URF should appear more often
• including 66% who think URF should appear much more often
• 13% of respondents who cared think URF should appear as often or less often
• including 8% who think URF should appear rarely or never

N.b., there were as many respondents who don't care as there were who want URF to appear less.

The data suggest Riot would satisfy the community better by increasing the frequency of URF, since nearly 2/3 players want it much more. About 1/12 players think URF should appear less, and that is about as many as players who don't care. The smallest group of respondents were those who think that URF is good where it is.
