L4T3NCY has been saying "I'm totally up for this" for a long time now, and we're finally getting it! I'm so happy :3
http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/gameplay/announcing-rotating-game-mode-queue
RiotL4T3NCY5 votesI'm still up for it. Sounds like a good idea. We should do this. :P
TeamSpiritAnivia1 votesThis sounds like a great idea, and I'm super excited for it. but can these modes be available in customs when they are not que-able? this way we can do urf with friends and nemesis or something with groups in the customs section of league
Deep Terror Nami1 votesThere's little reason to even have a rotation is they are always available as customs.
EpicMusic1 voteswhy not just make it like Champion Rotation, a game mode for the whole week that changes every week? :)
Knalxz2 votesCan people stop using that image? I just looks like Nami is getting railed by Draven and loving it far too much.
Deep Terror Nami3 votesHow about, you don't look at it?
PrinceBedazzled1 votesI know! Its so exciting! The urf thing is... very disappointing and confusing. But a rotating game mode is something league has been needing and deserving for forever now and its happening~ [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]
RiotL4T3NCY3 votesDon't be confused Prince bro! Ask me questions if you want. <3
PrinceBedazzled4 votesDon't be confused Prince bro! Ask me questions if you want. <3
Well its just that urf is a tradition. Its like someone announced that Christmas wouldnt be on the 25th this year, Or halloween is now in November? Don't get me wrong I'm so pumped for a game mode queue! It's so awesome this is happening, and I know you have been a huge supporter for ages. This is kinda a separate issue but it was all in the same announcement.
RiotL4T3NCY3 votesThe 'Ultra Rapid Fire mode' was actually only the last 2 years, whereas URF the character has been around in some form since 2010 when he first had an "accident" with Warwick. :/ I feel you dude, but don't worry, URF mode will return eventually with this queue. ^.^b
xl Kirito lx2 votesIs this rotation a, "Weekend only" thing? Or does the featured game mode last through out the week?
RiotL4T3NCY3 votesInitially the queue will be available across weekends, but we're flexible on the timing (EG: Fri to Mon or something similar) while also being conscious of different timezones. Mode rotations will be weekly. Exact timings are still TBD, but we're building it to be extensible if need be.
xl Kirito lx1 votesI apologize, I should've added this into my original comment -
Does that mean featured games, that we'd typically get for two weeks, are only going to last 4-8 days now? I'm basing this off of "but we are ready to share that Ultra Rapid Fire will appear at least twice in 2016.", and to assume that other featured game modes are only going to appear roughly twice?
RiotL4T3NCY6 votesThat's the idea, modes will be in the queue for shorter bursts, but have a dramatically increased appearance rate compared to before. EG: The most modes we ever did previously in 1 year, was 7. This queue will let us get you guys 7 bursts of game modes in just the first 7 weeks.
The goal is for you guys to have more access to more of your favourite modes, more of the time. More more more. :)

Not sure if you guys have made a list or talked about which game modes are going to be in the rotation, but I was just wondering if Doom Bots would be in there? I really thought that was an interesting game mode and really liked it, and if so do you plan on adding more bots to the mode? There has been a lot of new champions that came out since Doom bots came out and you could probably do some crazy fun ideas for some.
Potato Doc1 votesSo just a question on the new queue if a new game mode were to ever surface, would it get its own special queue for a while before worming its way into the grasp of rotation queue?

Basically, it's great that RIOT is going to rotate through the game modes, but it's terrible that the game mode is going to change weekly. That's just too short of a time to properly enjoy a particular game mode. You can't tell your friends about the fun games you had over the last weekend and enjoy that game mode with them the next weekend and if you don't play your favorite mode on the particular weekend it's available you just miss it altogether. Take URF for example. It sounds like URF will be available for two random weekends out of the entire year and I'm thinking, "Well, if I just happen to not be able to play on the particular weekend or weekends URF is available that is going to really suck".
XeroKimo1 votesI think changing the game weekly is the best approach as people get bored or start complaining a lot as the event last longer. Taking URF as an example, last year URF was extended multiple times, I think it lasted for just about or over 2 weeks, people started complaining of how boring and unfun it got as everyone would just play the same like 15 champions, spamming the zz'rot/banner build to have super strong pushing power, and now that game mdoe becomes dull, until they take it down an re-release it
what you deserve2 votesI'm really glad you guys are doing this, but I can't see the benefit of making it weekends-only.
Valor Bot3 votesSo, essentially, we'll only have 4 days (Fri. - Mon.) to play URF until it comes up again in the latter half of the year for another 4 days?
Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of featured game modes on a rotation, but personally I don't know if 8 days a year of URF will be enough time for me to truly enjoy all the fun and possibilities it has to offer :(
Jesus is Savior2 votesInitially the queue will be available across weekends, but we're flexible on the timing (EG: Fri to Mon or something similar) while also being conscious of different timezones. Mode rotations will be weekly. Exact timings are still TBD, but we're building it to be extensible if need be.
You realize some people work weekends, right?
Are you guys really that shitty of a company that you would release a mode that some people will NEVER be able to play?
It should ROTATE on weekends and be available ALL WEEK.
Retillin2 votesIs it each week, or every other week or what?
Also I see that it says "Rotating queue will join Classic and ARAM in an upcoming patch". Does this mean Twisted Treeline fans should be worried?
Desiderium2 votesTwisted Treeline is considered Classic. When you click Classic, there is Rift and Treeline.
BattleBalladeer1 votesBlack Market Brawlers?
ChiefOfPolice1 votesSo is this why dominion was removed? will it be one of the game modes featured?
Phenyxs1 votesWhen does it start for na?
myyth1 votes[zombie-nunu-hearts]
blackcat13001 voteswill we see new game modes like pick your poison were you chose your enemies team.
Deep Terror Nami1 votesThey actually had that in a mode called "Nemesis Draft". Each team would get to do bans as usual, but for pick phase you simply give the opposing player whatever you want from their pool. I imagine that would be in the rotation too.
blackcat13001 votesThe oh what am I oging to do I have never played 
what do the do how do we make a team of nothing but support win vs a team with nothing but adc's.
Deep Terror Nami1 votesThat's the fun of it. If you want to give them a comp that you think is terrible you go for it. If you've never played the champion, now is your chance :3 Don't underestimate a full Support team, though.
blackcat13001 votesThat is what made it so funny adc's are terrible with out supports.
Especially in the early game. It really showed the balance of the game in the fact you need a strategy and a balance team to do well.
The plan was give them all adc's wile we got stuck with supports so funny.
therealdragon1 voteswill we see new game modes like pick your poison were you chose your enemies team.
nemesis draft lol. Was sometimes annoying when you got stupid teammates tho
"wtf why'd they get that champ I wanted it" "yeah you pick THEIR champ" "thats stupid" ....
besides them, it was actually helpful as you realized that there are no bad champs lol. Be interesting to see what you get and what people give
blackcat13001 votesYah, I actually found some random champs I like and some I COULD NOT USE AT ALL.
