Why doesn't RIOT try a regular cycle of game modes on a monthly or weekly basis? Then ppl could play modes like URF, hexakill, or brawlers casually then they wouldn't become the main thing played for an event, and would be criticized as harshly.
RiotL4T3NCY10 votesThis is something we've been considering for a while (many of us like the base idea of rotating modes). I think some time would be needed to hammer out the specifics, but we're certainly not opposed to it.

RiotL4T3NCY8 votesYeah I'm with you on Ascension. <3
I'm in that other thread voting for it lol. :P
Kürama4 votesMeanwhile, Dominion and Twisted Treeline are neglected...
Zyorhist2 votesmaybe they should be game modes that are in the rotation instead of being all the time.
Kürama2 votesNo.
IcyPepper2 votesBecause of ranked threes, Twisted Treeline should always be an available game mode.
As for Dominion? Yeah, I can see it as a rotating game mode. It's not part of competitive ranked, so it could be considered part of the "just for fun" game mode rotation.
Kürama1 votesYeah it's just for fun. All the modes I play for fun actually. That isn't a valid reason to have it cycle though. Many players, myself included, enjoy Dominion, and would like to play it when we would like to play it, not a few times a year. It's a popular mode that players play everyday. Why take that away from us? That'll lead to an uproar Dominion mains are highly likely to quit, resulting in a decreased playerbase which I;m sure Riot doesn't want.
By your logic, they should cycle ARAM, since it has no ranked queue as well. I'm pretty sure this will lead to an even louder uproar is ARAM is a bit more popular than Dominion.
P.S. Riot promised us Dominion ranked and we could still see it someday.
IcyPepper1 votesP.S. Riot promised us Dominion ranked and we could still see it someday.
Oh, I must have missed that. In that case, it should stay until they deliver on that promise (and then it'll stay anyway).
As for ARAM, I would love for it to be cycling... maps. Why waste the Bilgewater map that took so much work and detail? Why does Freijord (however you spell it) get all the love?
I'm not sure, though. Is five available game modes (ARAM, SR, TT, Dominion, and whatever Rotation) too much, or can we handle it?
Kürama1 votesThey promised us Dominion Ranked since 2011 when Dominion was released, they haven't fulfilled their promise. It isn't to say they wouldn't though but it'll be hella late.
I don't think the majority would want to cycle ARAM. If I'm correct it's tied for the 2nd most popular map / mode with Twisted Treeline.
Five game modes is very possible, we've done it in the past. The current 4 maps (Summoner's Rift (Classic), Twisted Treeline (Classic), Crystal Scar (Dominion) & Howling Abyss (ARAM)) are permanent and they have added "Featured Game Modes" (temporary crazy but fun modes) alongside the 4 permanent maps and we handled it well. They've done this over 10 times.
The Featured Game modes often recycle one of the 4 permanent maps though, resulting in the same map but a different temporary mode.

GIVE. ME. BACK. ASCENSION.
Ascension was released when i was first starting to play LoL (Like level 12ish) and was the gamemode that got me addicted to this game (That perfect acension is impossible when you still have to stop moving for five seconds to throw a skillshot e.e)
Frius1 votesascend thank you please
Koraji yo1 votesIt'd basically be like Tavern Brawl in Hearthstone. Some people love it every week, some wait off the bad ones for their favorites, etc. It's a system I love and I think it fits the gimmick modes like urf\all for one very well. Sometimes I don't wanna play a normal, and Aram doesn't always do it for me, so having that extra for fun mode would help a lot, especially since they're for a limited time, but at the same time the frequency they appear now is just too infrequent for me. It feels like I have to grind the game mode while it's there to enjoy it, rather than just playing it when I don't feel like doing a game on SR or Howling Abyss.
