Game Mode Idea - Grab bag

So obviously URF is the current FOTM, and Riot has said featured gamemodes are temporary so they don't get boring and repetitive. So what if there was a way to have all sorts of gamemodes in a fun playlist.

Enter Grab bag.

  • The game is a 5v5.
  • The map is randomly selected from Howling Abyss, Twisted Treeline, and Summoner's Rift, each with an equal likelihood of occuring.
  • The game type is then randomly selected.
  • The potential gametypes are Normal(30%), ARAM(20%), URF(10%), Poro King(10%), Mirror Mode(10%), One For All(10%), and Nemesis Draft(10%).
  • If a non-normal gametype is chosen, there is a 10% chance of a second mode being randomly chosen from the remaining 4 modes.
    • ex. One For All Nemesis Draft. Pick your entire enemy's champion. Or ARAM Mirror Mode (everyone plays the same random champ). You get the idea.
  • As Riot adds more featured game types, they can get added to the list creating a much more grab bag feel for the game modes.

This gives everyone the opportunity to play the featured game modes Riot's put so much work into building without it feeling too old or stale at any given point.

Thoughts?

This is a neat idea. Biggest thing that sticks out in my mind, however, is people queuing for a certain mode/map/combination, then leaving when they don't get it. Also, people would still get bored of this fairly quick, and, again, would only want certain combos.
