URF needs a bit of adjustment

Jefftiffy·Apr 23, 2016·4 votes·368 views

minimum CD on clone set to 2.5s. So no more 100% uptime clones.

minimum CD on troll pole to 2s to remove the near 100% uptime untargetability.

Living shadow CD is now 6s.

Minimum CD on spear to 2s.

minimum Q CD to 2s.

sapling toss range reduced to 900 (only inside urf)

Minimum Q CD at .5s (instead of .3s).

minimum E CD to 2s.

All invisibilities durations reduced by 15% (for similar reasons as the why CC is reduced).

I think these changes will help at least push some of the problem champs in urf into a little bit less of an iffy state. I feel like you can't ban enough of the super tryhard champs because there is always someone who just wants to bash their head against the keyboard all game and make it hell for everyone else. At least targeting the problem champs will kind of help fix some of the problems we are having this urf.

And this is exactly why URF isn't a permanent game mode. The amount of time they would constantly have to spend trying to balance this would be insane.

So far all I have literally seen are "URF IS SO BAD/BORING/TOXIC" threads after the entire month of cursing Riot up and down for not having urf for the entire month (even though they gave notice that it wasn't going to"

No these are problems they have never addressed and sometimes you just look at some people and go why is that even allowed. Sometimes caps have to be set. Don't get me wrong I wanted urf but I was hoping they at least dealt with some of the past problems instead of just handing us back a really broken game mode with really obvious outlier champs.

But when the only thing that is limiting you from spamming an ability is your ping and spamming your abilities is toxic you do kind of have to do something about it. If you are going to punish CC and healing champs you have to punish other champs too.

Except they do balance URF.

They just didn't remove any of the huge problems from last year. Just the minor problems, like Yorick, Kass, etc.

I never said they don't balance urf. I know they do, like they did with maokai's sapling limit last year.

I'm just saying that if it were to be permanent they would have to spend incredible amounts of time trying to balance it when it's not even the main game mode.

You don't have to 'spend incredible amount of time trying to balance' to figure out some of these champions are blatant outliers and put them in line/disable them. Many of them are WORSE, as far as providing a fun experience for everyone, than the champions they 'balanced.'

Hell, they gave AurelionSol buffs and didn't touch Illaoi . Their tweaks to URF are completely backwards. They should be toning down the outliers, because they're all people will play unless they're cut down. It won't matter what buffs they give because of that.

The thing is do any of the others have stupid high burst damage. No. Does Yi also need a nerf for urf yes. Does Xin yes. Why because even Ez got his Q nerfed for it because of the flat reduction.
