The game mode “One for All” last appeared as an April Fool’s joke in League of Legends in 2018. Now the mode returns 2 years later and you can already play it on the PBE. One champion is already a highlight.
What is “One for All”? In this popular mode, each player on a team selects a champion. Then one of the champions is chosen at random, and all 5 players must play that champion, regardless of which lane they are on.
“One for All” is played on the usual Summoner’s Rift map. Since there are five of each champion, all sorts of crazy situations can occur.
Players have really enjoyed this mode, and a reunion has been eagerly anticipated.
When does “One for All” return? The game mode was already available with the update for Patch 10.6 on the test server. It will likely stay there for a brief two weeks. So, if you can’t wait, you can already get hands-on there.
For everyone else, the mode is expected to be released with update 10.6 on March 18.
Players are extremely excited, especially about Yuumi
Why is the mode so popular? When “One for All” was last playable, the platform YouTube was flooded with crazy highlight videos and compilations.
League of Legends is actually not designed for having one champion so many times. That’s why there were crazy “Wombo Combos” happening everywhere.
A compilation with over 300,000 views particularly caught our eye. In it, you can see:
- A Jhin dodging all skill shots from Xerath
- Trundles building complete ice walls
- A skillshot duel between Ziggs and Heimerdinger
- Zeds wiping out opponents easily
and many more highlights.
What changes are coming to the mode? “One for All” takes place in the familiar Summoner’s Rift, but Riot has made some changes. The goal is to have fast and fun matches, with a bit of laning phase and a lot of “Fiesta”.
Therefore, there are adjustments to:
- Gold and XP
- The towers
- The scaling of the Baron
However, these changes are not set in stone, and it is possible that something will change on the test server before the final release.
What are players particularly excited about? Riot Games has released a short teaser on Twitter showing 5 Yuumis. Yuumi, along with the 7 champions:
- Pyke, Neeko, Sylas, Qiyana, Senna, Aphelios, and Sett.
were not in the game during the first appearance of “One for All”. The idea of suddenly having 5 Yuumis in a match appeals to many players.
Yuumi has the unique ability to bind to a champion and use abilities from there. It would be possible for one Yuumi player to control all characters while the other 4 focus on skill shots and abilities. Additionally, there’s the funny sound and the skill shot with a large hitbox, making the situation even more ridiculous.
Some players have already tested the combo on the PBE. There was even a 5 Yuumi vs. 5 Yuumi match. You can also check the result in a video:
Patch 10.5 introduced the Eternals
What else happened in LoL? On March 4, Patch 10.5 was released with several changes. Among these is also the new achievement system “The Eternals”, which you can now activate in the game.
There has been no change to the quirky build of Senna, who is played as an ADC but does not farm. No nerf is visible even on the PBE with the first version of Patch 10.6.
Additionally, LoL has announced that it will close the official forums and instead will move to other social platforms, including Discord, which will likely be very pleased:
