We need actual rotating game modes riot

Dethflash·May 29, 2017·7 votes·523 views

Whenever we have the same game mode 2 weekends in a row by the time the second weekend rolls around everyone has already figured out whats OP in that game mode, and you only play against the same champions who dominate the specific game mode. When will all for one, not dominion, and hexakill return? I dont expect riot to balance these game modes, but if they could atleast have a actual rotating game mode with a different game mode every weekend then it would make the game modes more fun to play in, and less serious exactly what the rotating game modes are meant for.

I think part of the problem was that back when the new client was still in beta. The RGMQ all had to be implemented separately in the new client, where they had to test it on the PBE. So as a result, they started rotating every patch instead of every week. Though they might change back as more modes get developed.

Though their might be other reasons for this. Perhaps their giving players more chances to play a particular game mode, in the event say, one is on vacation or something and didn't get a chance to play that weekend. (But this is just speculation)

You mean you don't like ascension and pork king every week?

Introducing rotating game mode, where the modes are the same and the champions don't matter

I prefer not to see the "i have a fan base of 100 players so i got removed" game mode come out frequently or really ever again, Dominion is not only boring but the entire mode is whoever can take the top alter and have the tank stand at your start alter til the game ends i prefer Regular urf, custom game urf/AF1, AF1 and hexakill, other game modes have been out atleast 20 times more than the others and they have become so boring and repetitive, i remember when i got bored in ascension before the patch, played rek'sai took the buff and tunneled to spawn till the game ended....and it was more fun that fighting full ap teemo shaco maokai mundo and oriana every game for 2 weeks

Doing that in classic Dominion was easily punished by just going for a different point. Doing that in DefNotDom was more viable, yet still wasn't a good idea either, as you'd eventually get whittled down by the low respawn timers.

Also, one of the benefits of rotating modes is that every mode doesn't have to appeal to everyone. For instance, URF and Hexakill are fairly boring to me.
