Unpopular Opinion, but I hate URF this time around because...

TOO MUCH DAMAGE.

Just that. Yes, I know it's URF, it's meant to be escalated in everything. But damn, for some reason this time damage is just wayyyy too high from right the start of the game, regardless of champ.

I'm finding it really boring because its literally just "who hits enemy with 1 or 2 attacks first".

There's no purpose of 80% CDR because you don't even get to land a single rotation of spell (regardless of, if you are the one killing or being killed), let alone spam the hell out of spells.

I've been playing URF everytime it came, since past 5 years of me playing League.

And I can say with absolute certainty that damage was never so high in previous URFs (probably not even half of it) compared to what it is this time.

ADCs are killing everybody in 2 autoattacks. Mages/Assassins killing with 2 spells on average (midgame... which now laughably starts at 5-7 mins)

Even if I ignore the fact that it's all random and match is almost always decided in champ selection screen.

IT. IS. JUST. NOT. FUN.

I'm really dissappointed with this because I've been looking forward to spam URF every day with friends when it would come out.

But the damage creep have been a joykiller.

I just hope RIOT could tone down damage the next time URF comes.

Otherwise, at this rate we will be watching game ending at average 5mins in upcoming URFs.

You talk as if URF has ever been fun. It's always been a one sided clusterfuck no matter which way you spin it.

I see negatives in both URF and ARURF. In normal URF you will only see the same most obnoxious champions every game. ARURF is a coin flip and whoever randomly gets the more obnoxious squad automatically wins.

As if that problem is only in URF.

I love watching Yi or Fizz pressing Q on someone and they die.

Played one game of urf last time. Will not waste that 15 minutes of my life this time.

They need to revert the dragon change. Way to much damage.

I actually cant enjoy it. I get a fun but average champ and they get Zed and fun is instantly gone

There is literally a damage problem, anyone telling you otherwise is only lying to themselves.

You can be happy go lucky all you want and go on about how urf is the greatest mode and blah blah blah, but the truth is the truth, there is way to much fucking damage right now, and it is ridiculous.

I agree. URF is not fun, because instead of running around and using low cd skills all the time, you are just blowing everything up. Fucking stupid.

My problem with urf right now is that we don't have bans. And some champions should be perma banned from this mode like karthus or kassadin or god damned veigar

I dislike urf this version because I can't play characters that I enjoy in it. I like Diana. I like eve, I like ahri, I like umm that's about it, the others got reworked. So, this is no different than aram, but aram has less bullshit in it, so, I'll stick to aram

I want bans and picks for Urf back, the all random bs makes it so whoever gets lucky and gets a broken champion basically wins the game.

It's annoying as fuck the second you go into the loading screen and see the enemy team you realise you've already lost.

Man...I love the new cannons.

But...URF does not have a damage problem...it's an assassins are god problem. URF needs bans. Jax, Xin, relia, zed, kha, etc. These champs dominate. It's not even a contest. 1 assassin on your team, match is over. 2 assassins, match can be won easy 3v5. Xin can 5 hit a tower with his constant Q. Assassins have wrecked urf.

Bans. We need bans. NOW. Not 6 months from now when the next URF event appears. NOW!
