My take on Game Modes, Enjoy Riot. [Poll Included]
TL;DR AT BOTTOM
Let's not get off topic, Game Modes. URF: Fun, nice job riot One For All: That's hilariously entertaining, good job riot :) Ascension: That's a completely different concept riot, i'm impressed. Hexakill: Well.. You.. kind of just added another champion to the 5's SR concept.. i get it creative juices are a bit low Doom Bots: Haha, Absolute mayhem, challenging in a completely different way. Intriguing Riot, Keep it up! Nemesis Draft: So your telling me i have to play urgot? Poro King: Once again, being all spontaneous and new, this is why i fell in love with you Riot.
Riot your doing an amazing job! You really got it all figured out! You know what would be amazing? If you didnt waste all of that potential for your game, by throwing it in the drain and forcing us to take 5's and 3's in our no-no's, Yeah ARAM is fun. but that's the only break i get, How about instead of keeping these things to yourself you implement them permenantly, Scared it will be more popular than your regular game modes? Fine dont make them queable, only in custom game modes, i don't understand why you guys get so jealous it's made by you anyway, accept the fact. in with the new, we want new things. I don't work for Riot, but here's what i reccomend
Custom Game. Hm.. let me make that a little clearer CUSTOM Game. Wait.. not quite Custom, synonym to customized. Well what's that mean cus·tom·ize ˈkəstəˌmīz verb gerund or present participle: customizing modify (something) to suit a particular individual or task. "This game mode can be customized to suit individual players"
Great, i'm glad you learned something :) Now let's apply what we learned today in the work place! Allowing custom games to be of a Featured game mode lobby, BLAM simple. Secondly, make the custom game custom, if they want to play 5's maybe they wanna skip lane phase, to test a champion or for SNG's or whatever maybe the playerbase can create their own game type with the customization, Cough Aram cough So we know that's a good idea ;) your living proof of it. Things that should be added/adjustable; Starting Gold, Level, Same champ selection enabled/disabled, Minion Density 1x 2x 3x 5x 10x, Now these are just a few.. very few ideas i'm sure your team of paid professionals can buff out the edges.
Intermission, Sorry for the long post guys feel free to take a quick break in reading.
Now for the most important factor, but will you guys make $$$$$? Of course! Sit down riot and i'll show you a thing or two! Now see, with these more casual fun relaxed type game modes you will bring in a new entire type of playerbase! They will join in for all the fun and laughs they see popular youtubers posting, and your playerbase will indeed go up, substantial? Who knows but you know thats how the online playerbase game goes it's always a gamble, i can reassure you. you won't lose a darn thing though. Back to money, Example: I'm a new player, my names bob, omg hey dude did u try urf yet? thats fun as heck! Yeah i wish i had 3150 for sona tho :/ what's RP? oh your telling me i can just throw 10$ on my account and buy her right now? Heck yeah! Riot you can't beleive how many Bobs are out there. It's.. alot, So why don't you give us what we want? You have an amazing playerbase and a enticing video game. One day.. you might not have that, looking back saying hey we had a great run, or i wonder what we could of done different. No need to wonder. I've posted answers, i'ma be honest i didnt play league for a few months before urf game back, but when it did i played daily. Enjoying the heck out of my time i had off from work or inbetween shifts. And the community.. Oh .. my god.. The amount of positive behavior i saw was intense, it was therapy for the league playerbase, oh someone insta locked teemo and called top? not a problem. oh someone fed? We all did, not a problem.
Lastly, Thank you for your time. I doubt this post will do anything to the issue, but at least hopefully a few players will see this and let you know they feel similar.
TL;DR Riot why do you take the things we enjoy? Why can't you listen and incorporate more customizable functions, like featured game modes, starting gold/level/minion density in custom games to make the game truely custom and let us tap into the potential of this beautiful game you bestowed upon us

i think that URF mechanics should be permanent and replace ranked all together.
