@Riot When are all or any of the Game Modes coming back?

I'm talking mainly about URF, One for All, and All for One, Hexakill and that game mode where the enemy picked your champion.

Not just for the Howling Abyss (ARAM), but for Summoners Rift as well. When was the last time these modes were active? I don't even know. Correct me if im wrong, but other MOBAS like Smite have a better Rotating Game Mode and it sticks around weekly whereas in League of Legends it's here for maybe a week or two, then disappears for longer than desired by players who enjoy them more than Normal/Rank Draft and ARAM.

Nexus Blitz is...ok, but its no URF. Im sure there's an argument here that because new champions are released at a pace that makes certain champions way to overwhelming in URF, One for All and All for One, but why make games modes like that if they're hardly ever playable? For Example, You guys have in the past brought URF back but with balance adjustments and banned champions, but when are you going to just let the players enjoy it for what it is? Letting players ban champions before a match is fine and all, but players like myself will never get a chance to play if you guys dont show support for these game modes.

There are a total of 137 Champions to choose from. With all these game modes is it really out of the question that they can come back on a frequent basis? I'll just continue to play ARAM till new or past game modes come back. Love this game, but there's just not a lot of options.

honestly doesn’t make sense as to why they call it a “rotating game mode” if it never rotates

URF usually comes out once a year and the game mode where the enemy picks your champ is called 'Nemesis Draft' [slayer-pantheon-thumbs] Hope this helps :)

Once a year? Tbh, How is that fun?

Can we have Event Modes back as well please? I want to try Odyssey without the quests shitting everything up.....

They know their game is usually not very fun, so when these modes come out I'm going to guess a large portion of players would rather play something new than the same old thing even though the game modes are the same (except AR Shit URF) but anything is better than the rift and classic maps at this point. Unless your only reason for playing league is to climb then you're the 1% and I congratulate your mental stability.

Riot said they wouldn't bring Nemesis Draft back. IIRC it was one of the most hated modes.

when they fix their balance team

They purposefully stagnate rotating in and out URF-like game modes because once URF goes out of rotation, the player turnover the following day or week DIPS to low numbers. Meaning that players generally don't have any interest in playing league again few weeks or months after URF ends.

But again URF ISN'T the only game mode they have so where the rest at yo?

I suppose it's because there's just 'too much' to balance when it comes to SR, TT, ARAM, and RGM, even if the balance changes were temporary.

One for All, and All for One

Its called one for all, there is no all for one.

I miss the modes so much. SR is too tilting in its current state, no one cares about TT so i'm left with aram, which is fun, but it can get boring after a while.
