Using the pattern
Asymmetric Gameplay is typically used in a game design to provide Varied Gameplay. It is typically designed as part of a game through a more specific pattern, e.g. Asymmetric Abilities, Asymmetric Goals, Asymmetric Information, Asymmetric Resource Distribution, Asymmetric Roles, or Asymmetric Starting Conditions
Naturally, Asymmetric Gameplay is in conflict with having Symmetry on the same level in a game.
Consequences
As stated above, Asymmetric Gameplay creates Varied Gameplay. It typically through this also provides Replayability as long as not all types of gameplay are guaranteed to be exhausted within a game instance.
