The Lexer·Jul 16, 2014·7 votes·3,703 views

Just wondering what Riot plays is all. I've only ever seen one Rioter in my life (im guessing over 1000 games, not quite sure).

Not looking to play with one, Im just wondering

Personally, I play ARAMs and SR most often and URF was definitely one of my favorite modes. That being said I'll play pretty much anything including Dom, Twisted T, and AI games (Doom bots!).

As a note you may have played with more Rioters than you think as many of us don't use 'Riot' names in-game.

What about you, what's your favorite game mode?

I usually play either Ranked Summoner's Rift or normal Dominion if I only have like 15 mins... so basically I play a lot of Dominion.

Dominion used to be my favorite game mode, but then ARAM became a thing. I've sadly played Dominion even less so ever since I actually tried playing Ranked.

However, if Ranked Dominion became a thing as well or Dominion got more support so that it didn't feel secondary game mode next to traditional, I could definitely see myself playing more Dominion again. It's a lot more fun and interesting than the typical 'destroy enemy turrets, kill enemy nexus' setup.

Any chance we might see more from Dominion in the future at all somehow? {{summoner:17}}

There's a huge variation at Riot, from relatively new players (not yet at level 30) to Diamond ranked players.

As for myself, I used to play ARAM almost exclusively. It's a short, fun mode, a great break when I'm in between things. These days, I'm playing Team Builder a lot more, practicing so that I feel comfortable finally jumping into ranked play. I don't play every day, but I try to.

I usually play URF... oh, wait. T_T

Well, I would if it were up. Since it's not, I try to play ARAM when I need to blow off steam. Otherwise, some ranked is okay.

It honstly depends on the person. Some people may wanna work on ARAM to make it a more played map. It would be funny to see that now with the new SR coming soon XD

I play different modes depending on who is around! If a couple of friends of mine from home are on, I'll play normals. If some guys around the office want to play, we usually do ARAMs. Otherwise its solo queue for me :)

I play at least 1 ranked SR game a day and usually before bed. Gotta work for those end of season rewards!

Please Riot, why is ARAM still here? And why is URF not? I understand there was a lot of champs that had to be exhausted and what not because of how ''OP'' they were, but you guys are good at what you do I am sure you can somewhat balance it out? I love you all.

Okay, I can explain why ARAM is still here since I have played since season 1, ARAM was played even before they made it a matchmade game mode and riot made it a game mode because lots of people were playing it in custom games. ARAM was not a riot made gamemode, so even if they decided to take the ability to play it matchmade, people would just make custom ARAM games

I have been playing a lot of Team Builder and Solo Q recently. I like team builder just because I can play whatever I want, especially this week because I want to try so many of the free champs. If I don't want to play a specific role/champ, I'll do solo/duo Q. (Mid is best role by far) Fizz

I've also tried all the new game modes you've added over the course of the season, particularly enjoying URF. More for the mana than the CDR to be honest. The CDR is also cool though, really makes the game mode unique. Can't wait for the DOOM BOTS OF DOOOOOOOOM!!! Starts tomorrow!!!

Personally I like draft pick Summoner's Rift. It allows you to practice for ranked while not having all the stress of losing elo. I learned how to farm better and increased the performance of my initiating tactics through this game mode. It helped me feel more confident with my champion being able to play consistently on draft.
