Rotating game mode queue now live!

Riot·11/30/2016, 8:19:56 PM·3 votes·33,115 views

From the sand-strewn battlefield of Ascension to the frenetic manatee magic of Ultra Rapid Fire, 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: One for All is now live!

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

Once you get into champ select, you and your team will vote for the champion you’ll all play before jumping into the game for inevitable chaos. Whether you’re chaining an endless string of Gangplank barrels, assembling a Tahm Kench matryoshka, or covering the map with Illaoi tentacles lashing every choke point, One For All is basically five times crazier than when you’re the only one playing your champion. Or at the very least, there’s five times the lasers.

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.

One for All is now available and lasts through the evening on Monday (we’ll shut it down very early Tuesday 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, changing the mode cadence or what modes are available. We’re looking for your feedback as we go, so let us know. GLHF!

I thought the point of this queue was to have different modes each weekend?

I really wish urf would be as frequently included in the rotation as the others, especially since it's like top 3 favorite ( I would hope so o.O )

Anyone else still have problems with the Rotating game mode queue to show up on the new league client??

I thought rotation queue was supposed to be a balanced rotation of the best game modes. Don't get me wrong, Poro King and Ascension as fun as the insanity of One for All, but the community largely enjoys URF for the awesome nonsense we get to rain down. You don't even have to give it mastery or rewards, I guarantee people will still play it because it's such a beautiful broken mode, where we can relax and just have fun, because everyone knows it's cancer and they go willingly. Come on Riot.

BRING BACK URF!

Seriously though can you at least let us know when URF is coming back again?

What an utter joke riot. can we please get some different game modes? I REALLY REALLY hate same game mode back to back weekends. We now get 2 game modes per month. You really are desperate to get people to play ranked. Sad and pretty transparent.

Feedback? Really? Haven't we said URF enough? I'll pay monthly to play URF whenever I want.

Why do you ask for community feedback when literally every single one of these threads is people asking for more URF and less of these modes like Nexus Siege and Poro King that a majority of the community dislike? URF is more fun than the actual game because nobody cares about people trying new things or feeding. Honestly I'd rather play URF than Blind Pick or Ranked just so I don't get flamed for picking out of meta.

Can you please add the rotating game mode to the beta client, this is what me and my friends love playing and all but one of us has changed to the beta. So now that we are getting used to the beta and have to switch back to play the funny game modes. This is very inconvenient and bad for the game. pls fix riot.

NEW GAME MODE:

10 Vs 10

everything haywire

Birdie Sànders12/3/2016, 6:12:20 AM5 votes

Though I understand this will most likely never happen,

How about a game mode where you either: 1) Got a random set of abilities from a random set of champions 2) Chose abilities in champ select

Like, imagine a Nasus with a Rengar ultimate? Or a Volibear with a Ekko stun? A mode like this sounds like a whole lot of cancerous fun pls make it rito

Back to back Ascension, back to back One for all, and now back to back Poro King? Why though? Not even begging for urf or anything, but this is a huge lack of variety.

Honestly, I kinda miss the one for all on the abyss. 10 Karthus was always hilarious. But the OFA here now is also tons of fun. That is if Yasuo and Illaoi are banned lol.

So when will One for All feature a true lottery instead of this "pick 3, lockout 2" system you guys have going? A lottery implies chance, no matter how small, and having 3 picks lock out probability is just unfair and absurd.

Most of this is about urf and the 2 week things, when all I want is to play hide and seek...item 3070

So... any ETA on when those of us using the new launcher can participate in these rotating game modes? I mean, Im not a huge fan of the current mode but I would still like the option to mix it up some.
