Rotating game mode queue now live!

Riot·4/28/2016, 11:23:14 PM·4 votes·37,096 views

From the original clone-tastic One For All to the sand-strewn battlefield of Ascension, rotating game modes provide unique spins on the classic League formula. It’s time to kick things off with the next game mode in the rotation: Hexakill: Twisted Treeline is now live!

For a refresher on the mode, let’s go over the basics:

  • It’s Twisted Treeline, so there are altars to capture and a nexus to explodify.
  • It’s Hexakill. So there are six champs on your team instead of three.

As in any rotating queue game mode, we’ve specially tuned Champion Mastery so you can earn points in the mode. You’ll also be able to earn keys for your wins and loot chests for your (or your premade’s) S­-, S, and S+ games.

Hexakill: Twisted Treeline is now available and lasts through the evening on Sunday (we’ll shut it down very early Monday morning--usually between 1:00 AM and 3:00 AM).

Up next is One For All next weekend, followed by Ascension and the return of Ultra Rapid Fire. If you need to catch up on the rules for any game mode, check back at leagueoflegends.com each Friday, and we’ll give you the lowdown in a quick post like this one.

We’ll be trying out different things with the rotating game mode queue over the next few months, such as potentially turning it on longer depending on how popular it is, changing the mode cadence or what modes are available. We’re looking for your feedback as we go, so let us know. GLHF, and we’ll bring a sixth man alongside you in the Twisted Treeline this weekend.

General list of modes you haven't had yet which would be nice: 1 Dominion 2 Doom Bots 3 Black Market Brawlers 4 Nemesis Draft (I know this is really unlikely, but it was and still is by far my favorite).

Can we have the next Hexakill on SR?

New game mode idea 'To the Death'. Where you start at level 18 and every death you lose a level with no chance to regain it. However starting gold and items could remain the same.

Would it be possible to add a random champion element to URF? Maybe even Random + draft banning?

I think we need some combined modes! Could you imagine, Urf for One (5x frequent spells, coming from 5x people), Doombot showdown, Hexacention, or even ARAUrf

Definitely agree with Doom bots (After you revamp them from reworked champions/add new bots of doom) Black market brawlers would be nice again as well, maybe a dominion rotation somewhere in there so the hide and seek players can have their weekend of fun again.

I really enjoy the rotating game mode thanks riot. If possible I would also like to see the game mode (don't remember the name) where your team chooses the champions the enemy team will be playing. That mode was fun and you never knew what you were going to have to play.

Thanks for scheduling to bring URF back so soon!!!! I do enjoy the rotating modes. For someone that likes the lighter side of league, not playing ranked, this has been a welcome change.

Urf coming back early? we love you Rito, but i still don't forgive you on what you did on April 1st, gave me nightmares.
