[@bertaboy9078]

[@sspectre8217]

Something cool that riot could do to have many custom modes available is allowing the community to make our own custom gamemodes with reused assets. Like you could rebalance champions, minions, monsters items, put walls and custom buffs. They could feature a custom game mode every patch that would be preinstalled with that patch but with the ability to install others if you want to. If a mode became very popular it’s devs and riot could colab to make some custom assets for it that would in turn be available for other modes. It’s basically the Bethesda approach since you depend on players/modders to fix/compensate an aspect of the game, but it would be really cool tbh.

[@Vandiril]

Been saying this for years, we had much more diversity years ago. In my Twisted Treeline video years back I said they will remove it soon and many didn't believe it, but sadly it is currently gone. League is just boring in this aspect and lack of game modes is bizarre to me - you could have a new game mode every week - even on Summoner's Rift, by simply modifying certain aspects of the game a bit (add more players, remove jungle, change map shape, tighten champion/item pool etc). They just want people to grind rankeds, while ignoring the casual players in the process. To me in particular that's a big no and it's really sad.

[@georgegkoumas5026]

Nowadays LoL's average newbie player has already bought a lvl 30 account, has downloaded applications like Blitz Op.gg and stuff (sry if I am wrong I don't use those) to apply their runes, tell them their enemies elo, counterpicks ,winrates etc. and plays only ranked solo/duo, loses because he refuses to follow his teammates' strategy and last but not least complains about everything, from game design to his team being "bad" thus renewing the Leagues famous toxic community... Riot simply agrees with that because the more "tryhards" their playerbase is, the more they watch professional games in order to have something to talk about to show their "skill" (for example even if they don't understand who Jankos is they will still mention him to sound cool or good or idk what they are thinking) and the more views and popularity riot's competitive game gains which bring more trash toxic people called "players" into the game. I am not just saying that I am pretty much comparing the people I personally know who started the game years ago with those who started it recently and I hate the fact that this might be close to the truth.

Its amazing how riot creates so good things yet is neglecting in basics that smaller companies have solved easily.

I remember grinding odyssey and achieving the last missions was super difficult, and it made it a lot of fun, in the end of the event I was just going into random lobbies trying to help people with their missions, I was really excited for what the next one would be... My favorite PvP mode was by far the thresh one, I think I spammed it the whole event, if they just made some basic ranking like of the modes in TFT, I think it would reach an even bigger player base, and keep a lot more people, because even if you are playing just for fun, there’s that number there that makes you feel like there can be progress.

[@jako3015]

I loved the darkstar event. And it doesnt even have the excuse of additional maintenance. There are no items or stats to tweak, no winrate to consider, everyone plays the same champ.

To add to The Poro King game mode, it allowed you to buy a snack and each snack, if fed to Poro king, it made him cast an ability. There were 4 I think in total. Giant firebreath, some artiliery type hearts that slowed on impact, then shield that made Poro King jump forward and then back, knocking enemies up and lastly poros he would shoot forward behind enemies and if they hit a champion it would push them toward the poro king. Anyways, I have been playing this game since summer 2010, and the most fun I ever had was the Odyssey. It had the augments, the abilities were powered up, Malphite having the ability to push and catch enemies with his ult and stop only when he hit an obstackle. So with a good ult, you were able to gather half of the map and Yasuos then all ulted and killed everything. I am sad that it will never come back. And the reason from the developers was that the engine LoL uses gets regular updates. And for them to upkeep it is just too much.

There isn't any blame to go around the same as the other game modes. And if there was, it's only "ah i could've done this better." Or just constructive criticism.

Sure, you’ll end up with many kills, but that attitude will leave your team hopeless in the long run, especially in teamfights. Then when enemy team has claimed all the drakes, including soul, elder and baron, the jungler will blame the rest of the team for losing the game, because they themselves believe that farming kills makes them the carry.

My thoughts exactly. While Dota has its fair share of problems it definitely gets community interaction right. Crowd funded tournament prizes and pve events with rewards. Arcade was probably the best thing they brought back though, they paid homage to World of Warcraft 3 and its endless community maps and game modes, some even being based off of Dota itself. Its probably time consuming to moderate the different game modes (and then theres copyright but Dota seems to be fine) but the game itself has proven to be capable of making these work. If only Riot would actually mean the word community and not just toss it around for brownie points.

Yeah its hard to just point the finger at one little thing these days, the game just fucking sucks in general.

Ionian boots be like." So my event was a fucking joke to you ?"

I remember having lots of fun during the 2014 years as, since I was younger and there were such fun modes, I played League with my friends, now most have changed game so I barely play twice a week since playing solo is not as fun. Also even with friends the game may become stale, boring or toxic with summoner rift. I miss game modes...

"everyone just throws their abilities at each other and sees what happens" is the most accurate description of ARAM

playing healer ziggs in odyssey is hands down the most fun I've ever had in this game

Genuinely, thank you for this in-depth video, I've completely forgotten that so many alternative modes existed in the past and provided the much-needed "breath of fresh air" from SR. The fun factor of this game has continuously decreased each year as competition has become the main theme (hence the deteriorating community imo), to the point where the game solely thrives off of how addicted we get to winning. A long-term PvE game mode would definitely allow for a more casual and low-stakes experience that I think, if properly developed and balanced, would be an amazing opportunity for a shift towards creativity instead of how linear it feels nowadays (same core mechanic, new questlines and campaigns like you mentioned).

I remember how my siblings and me once grinded tt-rankeds, rather shortly before it was removed. We literally played against challenger SR players sometimes, even though we were at around silver 3

Odyssey: Extraction will always be my fav. The vibes were immaculate.

[@bonthebunnycat667]

You brought back a lot of repressed memories I had about those game modes with this video, I literally played all of them! You know, the most fun I've had playing LoL was just messing around in these game modes with friends, or with strangers in the case of Star Guardian and Oddissey, finishing the game in the hardest difficulty with no perks to get the skin was sooooo much fun

Don't forget Nemesis, I may have just missed it, but that one was sort of fun to me. You ban what you dont want to play because the enemy picks your champ, you do get to trade before it goes, but I loved it. Force people to learn a new thing, or to build more creative because you for instance dont have a proper top, mid, or jungle, so you have to improvise. I like off meta, so to me, this was right up my alley.

The Odyssey PVE gamemode was so much fun, but it had one big flaw. Getting ppl for the quests was super hard. If u could choose what quest U want to play before queueing and it had seasons with different champions like TFT has, it would be an awesome gamemode that could be pretty succesfull. Add some augment skins, map skins and it can be very profiting.
