PLEASE RETURN FEATURED GAME MODES

Mortalspirit··2 votes·563 views

Do you miss hexakill, mirror mode, URF or any of the other cool featured game modes? If Riot sacrificed 5 minutes of their time in adding a weekely rotation of these game modes, it would add a massive amount of new content, keep players from being bored from playing the same exact game mode all the time and just make the game more long term. A weekly rotation is just self explanatory, simply every week, a new game mode is featured on the featured game mode, alternating the featured game mode does not take away nearly any players from the player pool in queue. Along with the weekly featured game mode revisiting previous featured game modes, it can also introduce new ones once in awhile. I get pretty bored playing the same game modes all day, and with unpredictable and random new featured game modes, I just find it pretty pointless for that down time. Why not during that massive down time you have during creating new featured game modes you just constantly reivist old ones? with some type of rotation? Please Riot, you don't know how much this would help the people who don't want to play the same three worn out game modes all day.

What I find most laughable is your complete lack of understanding of the amount of effort required to include and maintain these alternate modes. There will never be a weekly rotation. Get over it.

i'm bored of playing summoner's rift all day, aren't you? I want something new, and a cycle literally adds a new anticipation for players every week, its not out of the scope for Riot, what I found most laughable about your comment is how narrow minded you are: URF rotation - A champion usually takes a month or two to be released now, that means once they have updated to the current point of the game relative to urf in champion balance, they would only have to test the new champion in urf once every 8 weeks/ Hexakill rotation - Nothing needed Mirror mode - Maybe a few tweaks i'm not asking for a new entire rotation of doom bots, even a simple new featured game mode that allows for infinite starting gold or small features like that would add so much needed variety to this game. Riot has a lot of resources, yes it would take some tweaking to fix bugs, but featured game modes don't need to strive for perfect balance. Featured game modes occupy all of us who don't want to be the next wildturtle, or the people who want to relieve some stress from trying to be the next wildturtle, i seriously see nothing wrong with making a weekly rotation on old featured game modes.

It'd take much more effort than that to consistently throw up Featured Game Modes. Each additional game mode would require another round of bug tests to see if any recent changes have broken things. For instance, the Azir and Zed script refactoring in 5.17 might require some extra time to work in URF or OfA. That draws developer time away from other projects.

True, but Rito has way more than enough resources to make it happen. They're the biggest MOBA in the world. If SMITE can do it Riot can easily follow. They have no excuse not to, it's just corporate greed.

Of course that's not even the worst they do. 5 minutes reading the forums and they would see we outline necessary Dominion balance tweaks FOR them, yet they don't ever pay attention or patch the issues.

i'm not asking for new game modes, seriously, i would be extremely happy with some revisted ones for awhile. It would take some tweaks to apply like the few new champion releases to be somewhat balanced, but once that happens they would only have to refactor when a new champion is released every 8 weeks.
