All for One was fun

For about the first 6 hours before everybody figured out who to pick and just spend the whole game in a 5-man blob. This is why we can't have nice things.

There are so many champs that are fun to have 5 of but everybody just picks the same pool of like 10 "meta" champs and if you pick anything else you get slaughtered.

I wouldn't even mind all of that if it wasn't for the fact that every acts like children on top of it.

Don't get the pick you wanted? see people dodge

Don't get the champ you wanted? See that "one guy" throw a hissy fit "why would you pick x? eff this" etc etc whining.

Then the guy who feeds in game, then starts complaining about "who chose this. what a noob. Should have picked Darius" all mister hindsight and salty.

Just can't have nice things in this game anymore because of the whiners, and it's gotten to the point I just want to mute everyone always, because I don't want to take a chance listening to these sort of people complain about a fun mode like it is the LCS or something and we are about to get relegated losing this one for all game.

That just makes it like EVERY other game mode. Not allowed to enjoy it when the same 10 meta champs are picked every game and you're screwed if you didn't grab one of them yourself.

Exactly, I commented this before it was fully released; "Certain champions will be funish? However due to their curb stomp gameplay and Toxicity to play against they should be banned after 2-4 days" This way people can play some 5 Yorick teams.

But popular champions get picked because they are fun, right? Right? I trust Riot on this one.

I have to say that the single most frustrating thing about one for all is how it further proved my point about how this game is primarily viewed as a competition, not a game. No joke, was in a game earlier, someone chose Darius, my friend and I were like "You know what? Let's try Vi. This seems like it'd be kinda fun." This person (after we ended up getting Vi) responds with "That's not viable." God FORBID we play a game to have fun, nono it has to be a competition; you have to care about beating the other team and only that because if you don't then it is not possible to enjoy the game otherwise. Dammit people, it's a game, have fun for once. Plenty of other games have gone like the for me: I pick Karma because I want to use her, one person chooses bullshit like Darius, everybody else follows up on that persons choice because then they can win and what kind of game is fun if you can't win because winning is everything and losing is nothing and there's nothing to gain from losing and if you lose you suck and you have to win or else... see what I mean?

Maybe it's just me, but I lost my fascination for this game mode after about two-three games and seeing that it really isn't a game-mode to have fun, it's a competition-mode to win. Ironically I've still played tons of OFA, but that's due to the fact that my friends don't see this and they just keep on playing :p. Honestly, if people just brought this "gotta win" attitude to ranked, I would not complain whatsoever, but for some reason they have to bring this shit attitude to the actual game as well :/

You mean almost all the featured game modes?

i still dont understand why there was no option to join 1 for all with a pre-selected champion

Penns10/24/2015, 1:22:56 PM2 votes

Most popular game modes are like that, thats why I dont really like any of them. Both in urf and one for all, the better champs just win, u cant change that. Also what do you mean with "a 5-man blob"? Is this some champ reference that I dont get lol?

Chespin201310/24/2015, 7:22:00 PM2 votes

They should've just made this mode have randomly assigned champions make it a lot more fun instead of people bickering of who wanted what champion. Seriously getting tired of playing champs like Yasuo all the time, because to me is pretty boring to play. I just want one game with 5 yoricks yet people keep picking Yasuo Riven Kindred LeeSin.

You ever see ofa both sides choosing shaco? It is impossible to even start recognizing anything after about level 7.

XlawlietteX10/24/2015, 12:03:51 PM2 votes

I can say due to the - metablob is it? - One for All is my least favourite game mode that I have met so far...

I try to convince my teams to try something different and all I get are Gnar, Darius, Zed, Jinx, Kindred, etc. games...

I guess the most fun one for all champ isBrand cause no matter the skill level. Even a person missing his second pair of chromosomes could play that guy

Singed is suprisingly fun

The poison doesn't stack, and you feed your ass of for the first 15 minutes, but if they are skillshot based squishies with an inability to take baron or dragon Velkoz, you just dodge all of the everything while making them incapable of pushing into your base with a proxy in each lane.

I've actually only played it once this year, but it was pretty fun, Diana vs. Ziggs. We were Diana, and it turns out any Diana can ult on any other Diana's Q mark (which consumes it, but if the second Diana's Q isn't on cooldown she can immediately Q point blank and reapply for her twin to come in too). Ziggs doesn't deal well with consecutive Moonfalls.

Although we probably didn't build as much MR as we should have, we wrecked anyway.

Big tip for OFA: If a team has only one type of damage for the whole team, armor/MR are WAY more effective. item 3110 or item 3105 (depending on who the enemy team is) are amazing. Conversely, you probably want someone on your team to have item 3071 or item 3001. AD vs. AP you should probably build item 3156, and AP vs. AD, item 3157 (even if the active isn't particularly amazing for your champ).

I call bullshit to the 10 meta champions.

Can you really fault people for wanting to win though? It's always better to win than lose, and picking stronger things tends to give you a better chance to win.

Poop Jelly10/24/2015, 2:14:24 PM1 votes

me & my friends always pick mobile champs, even the ones we're not familiar with because it's always fun to see dashes. I think we lost more, but it's always good games, because being mobile champs always bring close games for both sides. As long as it's not one-sided game, it's always fun to me.

But then ofc 1 game some ding-dong locked in bard and we just dominated everything. That was fun for the first 15 mins and all but left a bad feeling after we won pre-20 minutes.

Bard vs Bard i think may have been the best all for one i played

I played around 25 games of one for all, and I didn't experience anything like that. There was shaco in my first 4 games, but besides that I don't' think I saw any repeats. (Well I always tried hard to avoid playing the same champ so that's part of it). Who even was meta? I saw different picks and bans almost every game.

azrolator10/24/2015, 6:20:54 PM1 votes

I still don't understand why people keep picking kat and thinking she is good in this mode. Anyone wanting to win picks champs with cc and range or a good engage. kat vs 5 cc team that just builds some mr is useless. If it is just for kicks. then whatever. But I still keep seeing players talking about how her and yasuo are good champs in OFA.

It was ok, not as much fun as I had hoped. The best was the time we got Blitz. Now that was pretty fun.

JustMyBassCannon10/24/2015, 6:34:06 PM1 votes

It's fun when you don't get three people group-locking a champion that they do not know how to play versus a team of players on some champ four times as complex that they have all somehow mastered.

The best OFA game I played (out of 12) was a Darius vs. Darius matchup. So much spin2win.

Sire Hippington10/24/2015, 9:32:42 PM1 votes

i'm for random picks in such modes(or atleast a random Q as option)
