Y'know... Smite has a new featured game mode every day.

Can't we at least keep one until you're ready to switch it out for another?

Rito will blame it on spaghetti code and more work for every patch.

or how it takes away the money from their janitors...

Why isn't ultimate bravery an official game mode yet?

Remlap1223Oct 6, 20151 votes

Because ARAM is already frustrating enough when the other team has a great composition and you don't.

I shudder at the thought of AD Katarina versus AP Xin Zhao.

You know not the hilarity that ensues when you are old to build archangel's on garen, which can and does happen

I forgot how much fun that is...I got jinx with 5 phantom dancers and boots of mobi.

Yeah,I remember that someone from riot once said that they want to wait till they have enough game modes and that they'll then start to cycle through them,but this still doesn't happen,despite the fact that we've got already lots of game modes,I mean we've got: -Hexakill(summoners rift&twisted treeline) -One for all(regular one&mirror mode) -Ascension -Black market brawlers -Nemesis draft -Doom bots of doom -Urf(for every april) -Legend of the poro king(every year for christmas?) -1v1

Unless I forgot one,that means we've got 11 modes for now.If they added one more,they could pretty much start giving us one mode each month(it wouldn't need to be avaliable the whole month,but at least that would be something.

Its especially jarring that they bring back one for all despite halloween coming soon(a mode on the twisted treeline would have been really fitting)

You forgot Snowdown Showdown (This one I remember because Yasuo was new and an amazing duelist for an all-duel mode)

GreenLoreOct 6, 20151 votes

You mean the one where you fight with a single character against a single enemy? Thats the one I meant with 1v1.

Problem is, once a game mode stays out for 3-4 weeks the forums begin filling with complaints about it. The new game modes are a novelty in League, it's best they don't overstay their welcome. I wouldn't mind seeing them cycle them a bit quicker, though - We have a few fun modes hidden in there, like Ascension and (of course) URF.

SinlaireOct 6, 20154 votes

IS this where i spam "Bring Back URF!"

cuz really i just wanna play ascension again Amumu

that was good stuff there.

ShaftyMegeeOct 6, 20153 votes

They want to focus on SR cus that's where the money is to be had.

Blade of JusticOct 6, 20152 votes

I'm sure the other 1 game mode(s) people actually play in will be fine.

AATTRROOXXOct 6, 20152 votes

Upvoted just for ATLA (and your point, that too)

Noctius28Oct 6, 20152 votes

They stay fresh and fun because they don't last long but I do wish the rotated them a bit more frequently Like 1 mode during a week in a month

GreenLoreOct 6, 20152 votes

Yeah,I mean how many game modes did we get this year?3?(Nemesis draft at the beginning of the year,then urf,then black market brawlers,dunno if i forgot one)

CatastropOct 6, 20152 votes

I frankly wouldn't mind if they never cycle through game modes if they just add one thing. 1v1's. Seriously, Jousting in SMITE is so fun, I can only imagine how great this would be in League.

NarasimhaOct 6, 20151 votes

Do note that they're also the least played modes, even after Siege. It's why they removed them for a short while.

RisenDarkKnightOct 6, 20151 votes

Yeah I don't understand why the new mode stays for only like 2 weeks then we get nothing for 3-4 months. Why not let us keep it? They kept dominion and I'm sure the featured game modes get better numbers than that. I bet there was way more community backlash over urf than if they got rid of dominion. I like dominion but it's full of bots and the game is only balanced for summoners rift. But I'd rather have a rotating game mode (one mode can be dominion) with no downtime between modes than keep dominion as one of our 4 maps.

Y'Know League is a 10 times better game than smite.

That doesn't invalidate my point.

Smite has a sandbox mode.
Smite has the ability to "try before you buy"
Smite has announcer packs.

Just because something is more successful doesn't mean that there aren't other less successful things doing certain things better.

Unless you're telling me that you don't want any of those things that I listed?

DeynaTaggerungOct 6, 20151 votes

Can't say I'm too crazy about a sandbox mode, it'd be nice but not that important. Same with the third. Although the second option should totally be a thing.

LOL SpammerOct 7, 20151 votes

But would you rather have a bad game with lots of modes or a game that is really good with a couple of modes. Riot tries very hard on their featured game modes and usually get good results. Smite comes out with featured game modes every week and sometimes they don't get the results they want, because the game isn't as up to par as riots featured game modes.

Smite isn't a bad game. It just isn't statistically as successful as LoL.

I have more casual fun in Smite with their skins, announcer packs, loading screen borders, animated icons and slew of really fun and useful game modes.

This game is centered more around the competitive nature leading to less focus on what is casual and more on what draws in the most competitive people.

You can't honestly say that Riot doesn't cater to LCS more than anything else in LoL.

LOL SpammerOct 9, 20151 votes

Idk just my opinion.

Dr EasterOct 8, 20151 votes

Judging purely the game yeah, I agree. Judging the system of the game, Smite is 10 years ahead of LoL.

Considering Smite is not a bad game just because LoL is better... a good system + decent game gives a very nice experience. LoL? Well... let's say I formated my PC and didn't have the desire to install it back.

KalarepaOct 6, 20151 votes

I only don't understand, why do we have few months breaks between each mode. Can't they just rotate them without breaks? Or only 1-2 week breaks?

Less focus on lcsbigplays, less money.

They wouldn’t really feel special though. I play smite on xbox and I rarely get excited for a gamemode.

revliledpembrokeOct 7, 20151 votes

I used to play a lot of Smite with my friends, and we all found it a lot of fun. I was usually Ymir (a lot, I got to Diamond), my friends were the AD and the AP Carries, and we'd have fun. Personal story aside, yes, a game mode with all Brolafs, Corporate Mundos, Mundo Mundos, or any of the funny or awesome skins would be great. That one day Smite had of all Poolseidons, where we would all "WEWEASE THE QUACKEN!" was too hilarious for words. "A THOUSAND WET WASHES WITH MY WET NOODLE!"
