Rotating game mode queue now live!

There used to be a Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne custom map like that. Pretty sure it was called "Impossible Bosses", it was soooooo hard but oh so fun. It really needed a ton of teamwork. If we could get something like that for LoL, that would be beyond epic.

Seriously though, I would even just play that for the items.

URF PvP is a bit more annoying because you can't really go all out and there will always be someone on your team or the enemy team crying "OP" or "broken" or "anti-fun" and blah, blah, blah. Bots you could just spam everything and have a jolly good time with no fuss.

I haven't played PvP since Season 2. There's a lot of factors involved, but I'll try to give you a better understanding. Bear in mind that the opinions of others and my own may differ, even from those who also aren't fans of PvP.

I like the premise of League and enjoy the gameplay involved. However, my experience of playing "real" games mostly consisted of people arguing with each other and bossy players telling everyone else how to play the game. It was painful to lose because it was usually a crushing defeat, and a hollow victory when winning, because rarely would a game reach an actual conclusion when they almost always resulted in surrender at the first chance. Win or lose, it wasn't fun to play.

In Co-op vs. AI, on the other hand, it's a much more casual environment. People play it to test builds or relax or what-have-you. There's still a sense of meta playstyles and such, but most people won't give you shit for doing something abnormal. Plus instead of being paired up with/against up to 9 assholes, there's only at most 4. What's more, it's such a relaxed queue that you usually don't come across any jerks at all. While the PvP game modes are all about winning, bot games are about having fun.

The main draw-back of Co-op vs. AI is that it's typically too easy, which can get stale after a time. We have Beginner and Intermediate (and Intro), so a more difficult setting of Advanced bots would definitely be beneficial. Other than maybe slightly smarter scripting, Advanced could feature bots that actually have Mastery and Runes. Jungling could be a part of Advanced bots as well, but from what I read, that's been a rather troublesome thing to program. The bot roster has grown considerably over the past few months at least, which does help in providing more varied opponents, so that's cool.

Anyway, getting a little off-topic there I guess, so I'll just end with saying that there is definitely more to League than just the PvP. Believe it or not, people play different games for different reasons. I personally am not very competitive, and prefer instead to play with people rather than against them. It's just unfortunate that oftentimes in this game it feels as if you're also facing off against your own team.

Sorry for the Anivia W of text. TLDR; Humans are jerks.

League is not all about PvP if you don't want it too be. I play it for fun, and to relax. The only reason I dislike PvP is all the negativity. I cannot stand it.
