One For All: Mirror Mode returns to the workshop

Riot··7 votes·9,795 views

One For All: Mirror Mode gave us plenty of memories to remember it by this time around; games of leapfrog with Volibear, conga lines of Blitzcrank Rocket Grabs, even insta-pentas with Shyvana. But, like Rumble’s trusty mech Tristy after one too many Overheated Flamespitters, it’s time to return OFA: Mirror Mode to the workshop. Thanks for playing – we’re taking all the great feedback and using it to develop future modes!

Am I the only one who really thinks that One For All being on Howling Abyss was just a god awful idea?

Renuarb15 votes

You're not the only one. I think its because obnoxious long range champs like Nidalee made Howling Abyss matches last even longer than it should've.

Agreed. I was hoping it was on SR.

Call me crazy, but I actually liked OFA on Howling Abyss. The games were pretty action packed when it was a constant team fight rather than a bunch of mirror match up duels with a few chained ability team fights every now and then. It was also entertaining when both teams had the same champion rather than one team drawing the short straw against an opposing team that was made up of all hard counters. The one area I wasn't too big a fan of was the lottery pick for champ select, but given the popularity of some champions, such as Blitzcrank or Ziggs , I can understand how it was helpful in allowing the lesser played champs to see some action. Popular vote probably would have resulted in a lot of the same champion in every game even though lottery resulted in tons of dodges and that one guy who wanted Teemo getting his pick when everyone else would have wanted anyone else instead.

This pretty much sums it up

You know what's godawful? 4 maps. Zero creative mode. 1 map considered above all else the deity of maps (rift). no map builder. no sandbox mode. champs attuned to one map to rule them all (rift). and riot has an iron tight grip over every itty bitty detail. all you get to do is play with what they want you to play with how they want you to play with it. Mods make games fun. this game is rapidly becoming a snooze fest.

The first few games were fun but it didn't entertain me as long as One for All on Summoner's Rift did

Yup, URF seems to be the most demanded permanent gamemode. Then it may also then become the most played.

Its funny because people were complaining why one for all Wasn't on Howling Abyss when it was on Summoner's rift. Riot only did this because of the "community's" idea.

Now it's time to bring URF back! :D

Edit for real feedback: URF should be brought back mainly for the fun aspect of it. Anyone who treats the game mode as a professional mode, needs to rethink why they are even playing. URF would be great as a goof-off game, something to relax and get the stress out from rolling ranked games and having people "top or feed". ARAM has been around, and even dominion. I have never heard so much response to a game mode, and see it just taken away. I personally play ARAM, only when I'm bored of 5's and 3's. We need URF back, mainly to get our frustration out. Any League player knows their relationship with League. We hate it, but we love it. The people we are matched up with are mostly toxic, but when we get those plays, it's amazing. Just my food for thought.

Rito plz.

Honestly was the worst experience out of all these modes.

Maybe it was Howling abyss.

Maybe it was we could never get in a game because of lottery pick and people refusing to play anything other than Ziggs, Nidalee, Blitz, etc.

Maybe it was because some people had hard-ons for picking 2 hour games like Galio, Singed, Mundo, etc.

Maybe it was becuase the Battle Boost either didn't work, wasn't noticeable enough, or made you lose RP if someone dodged (which is a lot).

Maybe...just maybe, it was because it was a watered down version of "One for All" where both sides didn't have to pick the same champion.

Eisen Engel11 votes

This. People who picked nothing but spellcasters and tanks made this unplayable.

So will now URF Be back ?

I think it would be great if everyone could still play gamemodes like All For One and URF in custom games. Also, having very low cooldowns is super good for practicing tech, URF deserves to come back for at least "singleplayer" games just for that. It's no fun having to wait 10 seconds every time I want to attempt some combo or technique on a champ I'm learning. It's even worse waiting 5 minutes for flash when you're trying to find out how lenient flashing through the larger walls on SR is. It would be great if custom games had some actual customization.

ZenotheFabled70 votes

customs need to have god-like settings like how much starting gold you get and how many minions spawn per wave and things like that so you can practice everything. increasing minions per wave can help you practice farming or defending or things like that. it would just be a good addition in its own right. URF can be "multiplayer" and complete settings editing of "custom" games can be "singleplayer"

SKT T1 Im2shady10 votes

YES! Where is the upvote setting on this thing!?? I need to upvote this a million times over. I love this game, but adding more customization options could only make it better, and make it easier for people like my girlfriend (who hasn't really gamed much before I introduced her to League) to get into it and learn more champs (she only plays Ashe, smdh. lol)

URF in my option was way better than OFA, regardless on Summoner's Rift or Howling Abyss.

Okay, moving on now to URF on Dominion summoner 6 summoner 6 summoner 6

ZenotheFabled13 votes

i swear to god if it's not on Rift or it's own Arena-style map it won't be worth anything. Dominion is too much capping to make the game fun for URF

URF Will be remembered more still.

bring back urf!! :D

DRGN The Creator16 votes

what if....there was a separate tab that says game-mode of the week that is kinda like the free champion rotation where there is a different gamemode each week instead of what it feels like of a century. i think this would help people relax and have fun without one gamemode becoming boring because its permanent and the only thing people play. also i agree that there should be more variety in customizing a custom game. just my opinion.

As much as URF is wanted to be back...I'm starting to wonder if anyone would be intreasted in a map with three teams on it?

MrNeverDye 15 votes

tbh i didnt even play it, but i do appreciate the thought of trying to put new modes in. Players just love urf. if youre making these game modes supposedly based on what we want...wheres urf? (not saying this out of hate because i love rito. im just asking)

Thomas Edison8 votes

in my opinion, hexakill and urf are the best modes. Ever had that one time where you have 6 friends but only 5 can play? That has happened to me so many times since hexakill has been shut down

GlorifiedThief5 votes

I think the best game (and really the only good game) I had with this mode was Udyr. A lot of people on the enemy team went Phoenix, so I decided to go tank-Turtle Udyr and my friend backed me up by going dmg-Tiger Udyr. I'd run in the middle of the Phoenix's, use the Bear stun, Raduin's slow, and whatever other items I had that had actives. The the other team would focus me, I'd turtle and take all of the cc, and my team would then jump on them and finish them off. I think it worked well because it was my only game that had true variety, because people built differently.

Mirador8 votes

Item builds became very important in OFA. It actually encouraged experimentation with different builds rather than everyone building the same thing and often times it was the team that understood how to add variety to their team through item builds that ended up winning, even on champs that were all AD or all AP. Far more entertaining than the boring "Everybody MUST build their champion the way I think they should or I'm gonna call them a noob" that happens in a lot of the other games.

Swiftouch24 votes

Riot...are you listening. You see what people want? Everything. URF, OFA, all the modes. Open. How bout more maps? Or are your designers just sitting around doing nothing? God this game gets boring because it has no sandbox mode, no creative mode, no mods. Nothing. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring
