@Riot Questions about the new Rotating Game Modes (need answers urgently for sake of my Garena pals)

BeatzBoyFTW·3/8/2016, 7:21:46 AM·2 votes·6,005 views

So the following modes here will most likely appear in this new Rotating Game Mode:

  • URF
  • One For All (or combined with Hexakill)
  • Hexakill (SR & TT version)
  • Doombots
  • Ascension
  • Black Market Brawlers
  • Legend of King Poro

So now, I have a few questions to ask:

  1. Does it also includes the following?
  • Dominion
  • Team Builder
  • Snowdown Showdown
  1. Is Nemesis Draft also included? Cz I really wish it didn't. Nothing exciting about it.
  2. Is the new Rotating Game Mode confirmed to be permanent?
  3. How are the game modes picked for every weekend?
  4. Is the amount of Champion mastery gained on Game Modes & ARAM distributed as equal as the normal SR, or less? (more explanation below)

Okay, so I have something in (5) that icks me. Imo, I do not feel that it's right to gain Mastery Points in modes other than Normal/Rank SR.

Because if it's in Normal/Rank SR, players would tend to carefully play the game out by using strategies/careful champion picks/absolute teamfight timing/etc, whereas in Game Modes, all players will literally spam their champion picks & moves wherever they like. That's nothing "mastery" about it, especially in URF.

Yeah, sorry I'm asking these questions in a separate thread instead of the main Red thread such as this:

I was afraid Riot would overlook my comment in such a packed discussion such as this link here.

Hey Beatzboy~

We'll be announcing the full schedule of modes soon :) so just hang tight.

This is a new permanent queue! So the idea is for it to continue to exist, and for us to bring you featured game modes more often!

We pick the game modes based on a lot of factors, usually focused around timing (what can we deliver and where does it make sense to deliver it), and popularity/reception. We want to make sure we release fun game modes that you guys will enjoy! :)

In terms of champ mastery, people will earn what they hopefully feel is a fair amount. You're probably not going to receive the same amount of points for an S+ on SR and an S+ on URF, for instance. We're going to be weighting these pretty consciously to make sure that people are earning at a fair and balanced rate.

It's not necessarily true that there's "no mastery" in featured modes, but there are varying degrees of mastery for sure :) And we want to balance that. Personally, I think with the recent tie-ins to Loot and Mastery, it would be sad (or almost punishing) to not give players mastery for playing in this queue.

Hopefully this answers most of your questions :)

actually with the dominion map being removed i don't think ascension is "most likely to appear"

I'd love for it to appear but it doesn't seem like it will now.
