Eh Roger... You have no idea of the gamemode's state when the development of the next version started, and LALD got broken there because changes to the gamemodes' way of working had to be made.
And yes, the second point he had is valid, and if you're telling me you never saw anyone in LALD shooting at everyone but Baron with the GG, you obviously didn't play those "3000" hours, because you find this in 1 hour of playing.
It wasn't necessarily unpopular, but when people got eliminated, it emptied servers because they didn't understand it. Same as with YOLT, they either think they're stuck in spec mode or don't want to wait for too long.
But yes, the current state of the servers to choose from is really bad, and having Arsenal and LTK servers being the only ones active makes a lot of us dedicated players stop playing the game, which is a shame.
