Riot Games gives players of its popular MOBA, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:League of Legends, a variety of game modes on a rotating basis. Some have made multiple returns over the years, while others haꦛve descended into the realm of obscurity, never to be seen again.♔ Naturally, some are better than others.
To make way for TFT, and to ensure an available slot for rotating game modes, players that have been with the game for a long time had to bid farewell to the permanent Twisted Treeline and Dominion maps — gone, but never forgotten. Some honorable mentions that didn’t make this list include Black Market Brawlers, Dark Star: Singularity, Hexakill, Odyssey: Extraction, and OVERC♔HARGE. Now onto the ones that did make the cut!
10 Doom Bots🍎 Of Doom — AKA Nightmare Mode
Ah, Doom Bots. This mode’s structure was the same as that of Co-op vs. AI, but these bots were formidable opponents. Each was a mutated version of their original selves, gaining empowered abilities and the abilities ✅of their fellow bots, as well as being imbued with curses that made them exceptionally difficult to d💮efeat as the game progressed.
An example of this is Doom Bot Lux being able to fire multiple Final Sparks in a circle around herself, and starbursts of Light Bindings flying out from one if it connected with you or a teammate. If you managed to survive for 15 minutes, fending off 🐼the bots constantly sieging you, The Evil Overlord of the Doom Bots would grace you with his infernal presence. It would 🌳then be up to you and your team to defeat him and win the game.
9 Nemesis Draft &m🍸dash; Oh You Shouldn’t Have...
This was a game mode that had a draft structure similar to that of the normal draft pick mode, but with a twist — the enemy t🐼eam chose your champion for you.
Many times, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:people would choose supports for the enemy team, not realizing that they 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:are actually strong, and relevant at all stages of the game. Ever had to try to kill a team with a Soraka, Thresh, Lulu, Nami, and Karma? The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:healing and shielding is ridiculous, and when facing multiple supports wit✅h utility at once, it’s nearly impossible to kill one of them!

Legend Of The Poro King — Got Snax?
Originally released for the Snowdown Showdown event, players fight across the Howling Abyss with the aid of the Mighty Poro King. In order to summon the 🌼benevolent sovereign, you and your team had to throw snowballs at the enemꦗy team, landing ten hits before the Poro King dropped to your side of the map to aid in the siege of the enemy Nexus.
In addition to exuding a healing aura to the team tha🐲t summoned him, the Poro King can be fed speciဣal Poro Snax that had various spicy or cool effects.

Ascension — Shurima Will Rise Again
This was a game mode released fಌor the Shurima event that took place on the Crystal Scar, which wa🌊s the map for Dominion when it was still around. With a raging sandstorm significantly reducing vision, players had to navigate their way around the map with teleporters, claim lost relics, and defeat other players.
At the center of the map was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xerath, an ancient Ascended Magus that, when slain,🉐 gౠranted one person on a nearby team the Ascension Buff. If your team was the only one to Ascend after defeating Xerath you’d receive an exclusive icon.
6
Hunt Of The Blood Moon — The Demons Gather Round
A game mode for lovers of assassins, this one took place on a dark and misty Summoner’s Rift beneath the light of a crimson moo𝄹n. T💃wo teams competed, using the essence of fallen enemies to vie for the blessing of the Blood Moon and temporarily gain the power of a demon.
Spirits would roam the dark forests of the Rift, 🌌and could also be sacrificed to the Blood Moon, along with the souls of th♕e Demon Heralds that spawned in either the Baron or Dragon pits.
5
Invasion — Take That, Gross Space Monsters!
This was a Star Guardian-themed game mode where you could play as one of ten Star Guardians: Ahri, Jܫinx, Janna, Ezreal, Lulu, Lux, Miss Fortune, Poppy, Soraka, and Syndra.
With their 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Guardian skins unlocked, you had to fight back against waves of monsters of all kinds with your teammates, culminating in a boss battle when you made it through the gauntlet. If any brave player found Invasion mode too easy, they could try🐷 their hand with the more intense Onslaught mode.

One For All — Insert Spider-Man Meme
In this mode, people could vote on the champion they wanted to play during champion select, and whichever champion ☂won the larg♑est share of the vote, the whole team played — unless someone dodged.
This is a game mode where (theoretically) ten Yuumis could catfight it out, buffing one super Yuumi on each team if they were coordinated enough. There are a lot of fun and devastating synergies bet🌳ween champions, such as five Luxes CC-locking one champion and ulting them into oblivion, balls galore for five Synd🅘ra ultimates, and a kidnapping chain formed by any hook champion, to name a few.

Nexus Blitz — Fun And Games Until Sudden Death
When this game mode returned during the Spirit Blossom Festival event, it was visually updated to reflect 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:an area in Ionia known as the Temple of Lily and Lotus.
The map’s shape is reminiscent of Twisted Treeline, but with many improvements. This includes interactive mini-games such as URF Deathmatch, Bardle Royale, Loot Goblin (where you’d have the chance to beat on a Teemo for his money), and Prize Fight, where you cꦯould square up in a 2v2 or 1v1 setting.
2
Ultimate Spellbook — Spells Unbound
This game mode found nearly as much success as U.R.F., and was a feᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚatured ꧟game mode that allowed players to pick one of three random ultimates to replace one of their summoner spells.
Played on Summoner’s Rift, you could see a giant Teemo if they had the opportunity to choose Cho’Gath’s Feast, or an Ahri with Akali’s Perfect Execution for a total of five dashes at the time of the game mode’s release. That's up to eight dashes now, after Ahri got a small rework — which will be chaos when the mode makes another appearance!

U.R.F. — Ultra Freaking Awesome Mode
The most popular rotating game mode in all of League of Legends (and the one with some of the mos🉐t polarizing opinions), Ultra Rapid Fire was meant to be a one-off joke when 🍷Riot first released it for April Fools. However, positive player feedback means it just keeps coming back.
In this game mode all champions benefit from the “Awesome Buff of Awesomely Awesome Buffing” — with the most prominent buffs being that spells cost no mana or energy, and spell cooldowns dramatically decreased. Th💧is is a game mode where tryhards usually AFK, and casual players enjoy rolling their faces on th🌺eir keyboards as they dispatch enemies with cool effects.
