So, I guess I am one of those "other" players. I had always thought the majority of players complained about the lack of played champs and complained about not being able to pick their champs. So Boards, who was really complaining about what?

I've not been excited for ARURF since my first game playing it. I was forced to play Singed in a lane vs TwistedFate and Tristana with one buddy down in bot lane. Sivir I think. Anyways, because of the randomness of things, I had no control over the outcome of the game. I could not help my team, all I could do was participate less so I would not feed.

Besides my personal experience, I believe All Random is not the best way to URF. I propose a game long cooldown to the champion you PICK, in a URF game. Lasting 2-4 games? What ever the math majors at Rito decide. This way, someone can PICK and play who they want, but when it comes to that person playing Pole jumping, Zed un-targetable fish throwing dude, he wont be able to. At least not for a while. Heavan forbid if he decides to throw Fizz shuriken instead.

Personally, I did use to spam one champ. Malzahar And it was a lot of fun. But I did wise up and start playing more, a lot more. BUt in ARURF I don't even have fun anymore....

So, thoughts on how much this idea sucks? Or how to improve it?

Actually I like ARURF. Yes it's random, but saying you have no controll about the game is flat out wrong. I got Udyr one game - insta lose, right? No - I went JGL let one good waveclear 2v1 got ahead like 10k gold + 3Level and won single handly.

Every Champion can win if played good!

Besides that - I wouldn't mind traditional URF coming back as well. It sure is fun to spawm a specific Champon and master his URF-Gameplay - like I did with Kha or Shen back in the days. ^^ It just gets so damn stale after 1 or 2 days. Even if you start picking alternate Champions your selfe. 24/7 Zed/Wu/Fizz is annoying! xD

(Althought - the existance of "Kinda-10-Bans" might solve some of this issues)

Just throw URF into the rotation and alter between Traditional and AR - can it be THAT HARD?!?

Lots of people complained about the diversity, and even their internal statistics showed the same champions being played in a significant majority of games.

ARURF is random like ARAM is. It's a different mode intended to appeal to different people.

I still think they should just come out with NURF mode. (Nemesis draft URF)

At least that way, you remove the complaints about Randomness dictating the outcome, because you would have drafted each others team and is presumably balanced. (while insuring that the horrible edge cases that Riot got tired of balancing, never pop up.)
