Rotating game mode queue now live!

Riot·Jun 9, 2016·6 votes·37,602 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).

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.

HexaKill twice on one schedule? So boring.

Is there anyway we can get Hexakill on SR instead of TT?

Holy, it will be a mess

I have to agree. If we're going to do Hexakill again in three weeks, at least change the map for some more variance.

speaking of map variety we need to get together and vote on whether or not they should make different themes for summoners rift. i think its a cool idea

it was pretty bad on SR. take it from somebody who played it there

TheLastShadow45Jun 10, 201611 votes

I played it there as well and I prefer it on SR.

PokemichaelJun 10, 201661 votes

Can we please get black market brawlers or doom bots? I'm getting sick of the same 4 gamemodes.(Not counting Hexakill because I dont play it; if it was on Summoners Rift then maybe)

SadKillJun 10, 201624 votes

Urf isn't even that great.

URF seriously isn't that great.

XîaoNíngJun 11, 201641 votes

urf is better than hexakills tho

dnsupJun 11, 201632 votes

URF is seriously great.

See how that works?

BoubiskaJun 10, 201630 votes

I don't like hexakill that much but 2 hexakill that close, seriously Riot? Where the heck is URF????

The only ones I enjoy is URF, and One for All... The other ones are just lame.

LadyRenlyJun 10, 201614 votes

I had a feeling it was Hexakill, uggh.

Real question, what is the appeal of HExakill? It's literally just a regular game with 1 extra person on both sides. To most people, this is the only time people play twisted treeline so is that part of the appeal, too?)

It just feels like a normal game with nothing cool added to it. But now u can get a hexakill!!

I am not trying to hate, I just really want to understand the appeal of this mode.

rescuedJun 10, 201612 votes

Same :[ its my least favourite mode

NaturesMayhemJun 10, 201614 votes

Eww. Hexakill 2 times in the rotation for the 4 weeks span.

AOA MeenaJun 10, 201611 votes

hexakill is my least favorite as well and I truly believe that we should be doing one for all more because it is more fun but nothing is as fun as ultra rapid fire. Urf is just amazing in my opinion but I do understand why we can't play urf very often

epicnowJun 11, 20166 votes

I agree with you

dnsupJun 11, 20165 votes

A lot of people do.

ĘbbAndƒloweyJun 11, 20167 votes

Actually it's less people than you think. But still a lot of people. Personally the community drives me away from it. I just want to play things like Janna on it. You know, fun interesting picks. But I can't compete with Eve, Urgot, Kass, Azir, Ezreal, Hec, Sona etc. And I only named 7, meaning the I can already name off the top of my head more champs then the bans allow. And these champs ABUSE this extremely hard. Like, season 2 Xin Zhao bad. Some champions were balanced off of cool downs. Others weren't so much. Which means some abuse it more than others. And when everyone chooses the most abusive champions all the time... Kinda makes the joy from it run out quick you know?

What happened to urf? it was originally going to be on the weekend of 7/1 -7/3 On surrender @20 it said that a few days ago. Now its different. Are you doing something to urf rito?

FeduiaJun 10, 201610 votes

Why not bring back snowdown showdown?

InvarielJun 10, 20169 votes

I would love it if there was a consistent page I could look at that would tell me what the RGM schedule is. Googling for it gives me a backlog of pages with the same title and no way to cycle forward to today.

TexicantJun 11, 20169 votes

Wasn't there a game mode where you picked the enemy's team? With URF, doom bots,the black market brawlers.There should be a little more variety. Sounds like including just changing the map location, they got 8 or more alternative game modes so having the same one crop up so fast seems weird

gekyùmeJun 11, 201610 votes

Your first question - Yes there was a game mode where you picked the enemy's team. It was called Nemesis Draft.

CordexJun 10, 20168 votes

Hexakill would be much more fun on Summoners Rift

curbon7Jun 12, 20163 votes

Not really. The reason it is on TT is cause it is a really small map that only normally has 3 players on each side. On SR, it is just another person in top lane.

avatarkaiJun 10, 20168 votes

[zombie-nunu-bummed] sigh hextech, why cant riot use a survay to see what game mode people like the most and atelast do each game mode each month or the month after that, i miss urf*[zombie-nunu-tears]* item 3070

USk24Jun 11, 20167 votes

riot pls stop with this just give us doom bots and frikin urf

Stick In MuddJun 10, 20166 votes

No Urf?

Did you get rid of Urf entirely?

tyrese2014Jun 10, 20166 votes

Ugh hexakill so boring they should put it on aram I think I speak for most of us when I say we want nemesis draft we butcher bridge and black market brawlers with gp announcer voice it was the some of the best game modes pls change up the schedule the game modes are starting to get boring that they are constantly repeating like this

Kwon Ji YongJun 11, 20166 votes

10 vs 10? what would they call that?

ĘbbAndƒloweyJun 11, 20164 votes

Decakill? I mean. Hex = 6. Deca = 10. So I guess it makes sense.

SwiflezJun 12, 20166 votes

When is URF coming back? Lucian

Rogue BlitzwolfJun 11, 20165 votes

I like hexakill personally also in one of the ask riots they talked about doombots they are working on it. Although hexakill twice in the same month is not the best idea game modes should be spread out. Also hexakill on sr is just one more champion vs three more on tt. I think that is a little more fun.
