Serious Request: Old Game Modes
So I know that Riot has promised "NEXT YEAR" (TM), but I'm asking the Rioters in all seriousness.
Please. Please work on bringing the old game modes like One For All, Hexakill, hell, maybe even Nemesis, into the new client INSTEAD of creating all these new game modes that literally grow stale within a day.
I know you can't justify missions with the old game modes, which I feel is why we haven't seen them sooner, but seriously. The complete chaos that came with those modes was hella more fun than Dark Star Singularity (Thresh Simulator--Thresh mains eat your heart out!), Overcharge (lets make ADCs viable at least for two minutes), Blood Moon (what is this game you speak of -- just BURST RIGHT), or the Star Guardians (we need a Gauntlet Mode, right?).
My request is simple: focus on bringing back fun old game modes that people obviously are begging you for before sinking your time into a new and "innovative" game mode that only the hard core fans play the whole time it's out or that will only be around once a year for special events. Completely ignore that you introduced missions into the game. Stop making modes that force the missions onto us, because I'd much rather have fun in an hour long game as Alistar against Katarina in One For All where they literally took 12 inhibs, yet we somehow managed to pull a miraculous win out of our asses.
I used to play the rotating game modes all the time in the old client. Now I completely ignore Ascension or Blood Moon or Dark Star for ARAM, because they're NOT FUN to me. Ascension has grown so stale because it's the go-to game mode when there's nothing else. The rest are just Specialty Modes intended for a specific target audience. Whereas the ones mentioned above do have differences, pizzazz, flourish, what have you. The majority obviously want them back. So why not?
