League of Legends currently has default Summoner’s Rift, Aram and a rotating featured mode every 2 weeks as active game modes, however, Riot Games has created more than 15 different game modes, most of them being expired and never having come back.

Hexakill was a 6 VS 6 temporary game mode that first came out in 2014 for Summoner’s Rift and then later in 2016 for Twisted Treeline.

This was the only game mode in which you could achieve a hexakill by killing all enemy players.

Ascension was a 5 VS 5 temporary game mode played in Crystal Scar map which consisted in getting 200 points.
