I thought All for One was for Fun

And not complaining about not getting LeeSin or Gangplank and proceed to AFK, feed, or just not try

Some of us want to play for fun, like picking all Bard or Taric with a skin boost. This isn't ranked, this isn't even normals, this is a game mode built for fun.

It is fun until people only want to play the same champion every game and the majority pick means there's no chance to play something new.

Literally every game I've been in the Lobby is "OGM I WANT DARIUS NOW". The majority pick is so stupid and like you said, there's no chance to play something new with the Lottery Pick system.

I just get my sister or a few friends to play something stupid like Bard, Soraka (holy crap she's op in 14all though), or Poppy because we think It will be fun and people complain so much about not getting Kindred or Darius. The Poppy game we played was probably some of the most fun I had and we actually ended up winning. All 5 of us spammed Cntrl 2 the whole game against a team of Tahm Kenchs and they all muted us because they got tired of hearing "Why don't you just lay down your weapons now" on repeat every teamfight. It was also pretty entertaining to have 5 Poppys body slam a huge catfish up against a wall.

One thing to keep in mind is that a fun champion to you is not necessarily a fun champ for others. Sure, you might want to go full Taric team, but let's face it, the only fun part about Taric is spamming CTRL + 1. I love Taric, sometimes bring him bot for some lulz, but he's dreadfully boring in All-for-One. I tried it.

If all 5 members are together, then sure, pick Taric and go wild. But if one or two guys are forced into playing a certain champ that they find boring or bad, do not be surprised if they don't take it well. Sure, if they decide to AFK or Feed, it sucks. But maybe next time, think about the other players on your team before you decide to pick a champ that has high chances of pissing of your teammates.

My and my best friend were forced into all Taric game against 5 Varus.

I have never had less fun in a game. Sure, it's funny seeing how tanky you can get and stun-chaining someone, but that was overall a miserable game. I like Taric by himself, but not everyone needs to play Taric, or even wants to. I think that was by a mile her least favorite game of that night, because she outright doesn't like Taric.

What was maybe supposed to be fun for the premade group of 3 wasn't fun for me or my friend. It was then later said by one of the three that they didn't want to play Taric, either. So there's that.

A question I like to ask for One-for-All is "What more do we get of having 5 of X champion?"

For example : Annie : Full bear team. Soraka : I heard you like sustain. Ekko : Remember the trailer? That's what it looks like. Amumu : Many hugs were given that game. etc ...

But then you look a other champs, in this case Taric. All you get of having 5 Tarics is ... well having 5 Tarics. Ults won't stack after 2. Heal is sub-par. Out of all CC chain you can create, a chain Point-and-click single target stun is probably the most uninteresting one. Armor aura, like ult, won't stack after 2.

You get nothing out of that team that you wouldn't get out of having 2 Tarics. There are better choices out there that are both stronger and funnier.

Or maybe people can grow up and not pout like a child when they don't get their way?

Except that, like OP said, it's a game mode for fun. If someone is forced to play an unfun champ in such a game mode, it's basically two kicks in the nuts for the price of one.

I'm of the opinion that if you're not gonna dodge, then yes, do not "pout like a child that doesn't get it's way". But I also understand that that player is not to blame : He did not pick that champion. I picked Ekko one game on a whim and had a blast with it. Someone on my team however, wasn't much of an Ekko fan and ended having a hard and overall boring time. He didn't go full rage mode but he was definitely salty about the pick. I never got mad at him : I picked this champ, not him.

The moment you pick a champ in All-for-One, you have to be ready for the event where people do not like your pick. This is not a normal game where your team is mad for you going Taric top. This is a game where not only your team has to see you go Taric top, they're also forced to play Taric unless they dodge.

I'm not saying you can't play certain champ. But before locking in something weird, it won't hurt anyone to ask "Is someone strongly against me picking Taric?"

I played once Teemo in this game mode vs a team of Annie s. I had fun in that game. The next game teem get banned, i can't play him in one for all. I don't know why Rito banned teemo in this game mode. Its nut fun to play one for all without Teemo .

A Miss Fortune1 votes

There's so many other champions that should be banned simply because It's near impossible to win against them in One for All or their kits are just so toxic when there's 5 of them. At least Teemo is squishy, immobile, and his blind is useless against ability-using champs. Even when there's 5 of them it still feels more fun to play against than some of these champions.

Gangplank having 50 barrels and 5 ults in every teamfight Kindred makes teamfights useless and boring post-6 MonkeyKing doesn't this guy have like an 80% win rate in One For All

FastAsHeck1 votes

I played Karthus before he got banned. Against 5 Ezreal (I had forgotten how irritating this guy is in OfA). Longest game I have ever played... 75 minutes. we won.

I think Riot should make it so that both teams have the same champion. The most fun I've had so far was when both teams picked Darius.

they already did that... All for one: mirror mode...

I would have alot more fun if the majority mechanic didnt exist, it's not fun to go into solo Q only to be with a premade of 3 people that force you to play whatever they want, without my choice even being considered And what they want is always either Yasuo/Azir or Darius (ps: all of them suck on this game mode and are not not fun to play with or against)

The games I had fun was with Trundle Yorick Talon But hate when I get boring cheesy champs like Anivia Nunu

SLOWS DON'T STACK PEOPLE! PLUS BANNER!!

my whole team doubted me when we first got him picked from the draw but everyone's hopes rised when we pushed mid and the enemy team of Garens couldn't do anything thanks to the perma stun

Romans VI XXIII1 votes

it was fun for the first few games, then it started getting repetitive. Either your champion owns theirs, or theirs owns yours. It is very rarely a descent match up, if at all.

I've had horrible experiences with this game mode. I actually had fun in my 1. hame as Bard , but the next game my team voted for Taric and the enemy had Diana. Of c, we got crushed and people were flaming. The third game we got to play kata's, which was super fun, I actually got few doubles andone triple despite my top not knowing anything about kata. We lost that game because 1 guy insisted he did not care and wanted to finish th game faster, so he went top all the time, despite me saying if we went together we'd end it faster. My last game had a dude who wanted to play Yasuo. I said no, because I have no idea how to play him. I did not ban him, but majority voted for diana and suddenly he said he would troll, because he did not know how to play Diana- he told me to go supp if I could not play Yasuo (but when he got to play something he did not know how to use he got all whiny). He raged the whole game- when enemy got drake, when someone died. It truly gave me a headache, despite us winning. He even had the nerve to say "gg izi" at the end, although he almsot threw the game with his attitude and trolling. I won't play this game mode again- had my taste of it and I am done. The only game modes I had fun in were URF and Assension. Hope riot brings Assension back.

I kinda with it was One For All, it would probably help a little with this. I think part of the issue is that you can end up completely countering yourself and have nothing you can do about it in game.

thePandev1 votes

If it was just an ARAM game mode so many more champs would be viable, wouldn't have to worry about shit early game or whether one guy jungles or not, and if they combined it with URF then it would be a masterpiece.

I literally get screamed at for picking a "Sh**y Champ" and how n00b I am because I picked vayne one time. I personally had fun vayne vs. nid but people get so hurt over nothing.

kaellidor1 votes

the "built for fun" comment you said is not really fair to other people. just had a game where it went south pretty quick so someone bought 6 tears and proceeded to feed on purpose because he thought it was fun and was saying things like KILL ME 5 MORE TIMES ILL HAVE A SCORE OF 420 in all chat. this game was a 50 min game and we could have won if this guy wasn't an ass.

I agree its ment to be fun, but if your not trying to win with power picks or comfort champs only play with a full group of friends (I do we played sona a lot so far and won a lot :) ). if you cant get a full group of friends to pick taric or bard why would the community want to play them?

Murtagha5 votes

That is irrelevant. That would be someone simply being an ass, mate. The mode is there for fun, purely for people to dick around for a bit and take a break from the normal flow of how SR operates. You're supposed to screw around and try weird picks like a full Bard or Tahm Kench match. And personally I wouldn't want to play those champions, but I'd give it a shot, because someone on my team wanted to and would have fun out of it. So if I'm not enjoying the game to its fullest, I can at least help someone else do just that.

I played a Bard vs Taric game, it was absolutely outrageous. The Tarics were crushed because of the ridiculousness that is 5 Bard ults and the Bard Qs.

Paletongue1 votes

Fun fact:

I won a OFA as Bard against LeeSin

that was the most fun game I've played in a while. So much dashing and portaling and stunning, oh my goodness it was glorious

JesusDonut2 votes

Oh God yes, I won as Bard vs Riven , so fun and surprising. Plus the many Riven deaths equated to a massive orgasm

Bladeglory1 votes

I think that, ideally, it should be in team builder with a ban phase after you all commit. This would help reduce whining AFKers and keep you from getting completely shut down in champ select.

You go to the featured mode and select the champ you want. It then finds you a team of that champion being built or prompts you to start one of your own. You can also choose Random to be inserted in a group that needs you. After you get a group of your five players, each one gets to choose a ban before the game starts looking for a group to pair you against.

This would allow you to find people who are actually willing to play the champion AND allows you to stop five hard counters you can think of, which would greatly improve the mode.

Tell me about it. Everyone just wants to play Darius, Heimer, Katarina or Ekko. The one game I actually got us all to be Ryze in was the most fun yet.

FastAsHeck1 votes

I played a match as darius (us) vs soraka yesterday. Their heals were insane, you would dunk one and while doing the animation she would be at 2/3 health again because of 2 ults and a w on her. We won that game because I decided to go off the road, and bought item 3060 and item 3165 to reduce the heals. Off-meta builds feel at home in one for all. Every empowered cannon would push until it died to a tower, because it took them so long to clear them with bananas that they stopped caring.

PS. they were all AP at first, they changed builds right at the end. A teammate also built banner after me, which made my day (someone actually accepted advice in this game!).

And other people want to play for fun, and fun for them is picking Lee or GP. There are people that afk when they don't get Bard as well. Their fun isn't your fun. Don't get all bent outta shape just because they don't want to play the champ you want to.

It's One for All...

All for One sounds like all 5 people are controlling a single champion on the field. That actually sounds entertaining. One guy on movement/AAs, and one on each ability, who else would want to see this?

BottleCapster1 votes

Tbh this is part of the reason these modes are temporary. As they go along, players will find which champs are the most OP when synergizing with themselves, and will start flogging you for trying to pick anything else. The issue isn't necessarily that OfA is a bad mode (Because it isn't), but the longer you leave these types of modes around, the more they'll establish their own metas, and become less fun, and more structured.. Its the same issue with URF tbh. Part of the reason it isn't a good idea to keep these modes permanently is that structured meta formation, the fact that they get less fun as you get used to the gimmick, and the fact that unlike ARAM, which did become a game mode, they aren't randomized. (Tbh Random OfA would be kinda fun) or Random URF

Remember URf when it came out the 2nd time? Its gonne be the same for any interesting game mode thats gonna come out.

I've been having buttloads of stupid, cancerous, cheesy fun in One for All. This one battle was Blitz vs Rengar. We grouped up as the Blitzes and I bought a pink ward trinket. Whenever we saw that exclamation mark, I dropped a pink. Whenever we caught just one, he would get endlessly passed around and sodomized. I've also been destroyed by teams of swains. Literally they just become birds and ruin all of your hopes and dreams. Surprisingly, I was in a Bard vs. Riven where we absolutely destroyed the Rivens. But yea, the playerbase always has to ruin a good thing. People keep picking what they think are the easy win champs, not realizing that counters exist and decide a lot of how the game will go. Also, there are a lot of dodgers. People see a champ that they don't particularly like, or that isn't famously "good" and they bail automatically. It's really disappointing. Also had a few asshats rage and afk because they were feeding, instead of adapting their play to stop feeding. In one of these, I was the only "random" among a group of friends that was in queue together. 2 of them ragequit. It got me thinking about how toxic some people are, to even ditch their friends like that. Had another game as Karma vs Anivia. we were all doing well except this one scrub in duo top with me, as Karma, the play is fairly simple, yet he couldn't get a handle on it. He complained about how bullshit Karma was, because he wasn't able to dodge Anivia's slow-ass stun. He RQ'd, but we managed to win 4v5, Just because the matchup and higher skill requirement of Anivia was in our favor.

Ive been lucky i guess then lol. Im a jungle main looking for new champs so i got kindred, lee sin, elise, and fiddlesticks in order which is exactly what i wanted. BTW lee sin is the most op champ ive ever played, I went 30-2 and smashed people, wow that was fun.

Enchanté1 votes

Honestly I don't really like OFA or URF, I know it's fun to be silly and stupid just for one game or something, but some of them just decided to pick a champ like Kata and intentionally feed 5 Dianas. Then they refused to surrender because they want to have more "fun".

These types of game modes are only enjoyable if you get good team mates. Or if you queue up with 4 other friends.
