Honestly, I remember when URF used to be fun.
Making the teams random like in ARAM didn't really add to the fun tbh. It made it so that there is no discernible teamcomp aside from just blind luck.
The numbers used to be way overexaggerated and stuff and just.
It feels like a pale shadow of itself.
Sir Fuzzi2 votesARURF still has like 20sec queue times. You may not like it, but tons do.
Regular URF wasn't people picking anything niche. Nobody made random, out of the blue picks to 'have fun' unless it was a full slotted custom game. People picked from the same roster of about 20 champs, and set to making fast-win strats out of rushes, builds and level orders. Being able to lock down lanes as early as level 2 because you picked your lane out 
doesn't make the game fun for those of us who do enjoy the opportunity to play uncommon picks. We just don't want to pick uncommon against your roster of 'do gud' runners. ARURF addresses the one literal problem with URF, and the people who are decrying it are roughly separated into one of two categories:
The former means you're playing the wrong game mode; the latter means you're playing with the wrong people. The queue is just an all random game mode for fun, there's barely any competitive element (what little there was in URF is roughly gone).
What we need is URF in bots, so we can pick whoever the hell we really want. But I think URF and ARURF are just two separate game modes, and some people enjoy ARURF and some enjoy URF and they don't necessarily overlap just because of the URF part.
Tegash1 votesHonestly I agree with the addition of bots. I don't see why Rito can't just make the game modes be around 100% of the time and give people more of a selection than Murder Bridge and Titty Twister.
The first time I played URF was when I was just getting into the game and I had no idea what I was doing. I think what I regret most is how silly the game mode itself used to be. Now it just feels kind of bland.
Sir Fuzzi1 votesI seriously have no idea why they won't add it for bots. That's where silly really happens; against players, you always have to be on your toes. Similarly, bots don't jungle or pressure jungle, so that can make for fun new ways to play champs.
There's this aversion to vs bots play that seems to be pervading their design and it's a bit unfortunate, since they've always had the most creative ones (doom bots anyone? I think I've heard people want urf doom bots once, and that's a whole new mode itself) and they've got the rotating games finally so they could easily proliferate its ranks with some fun ideas that combine two game modes. Hexakill could be fun to start with.
The problem here really is the idea that Riot needed to 'replace' URF. It just needed an alternative. And arugably, it still does-- things like Hexakill URF are sure to have an audience. Most game modes are at least amusing for a weekend while everyone gets their feet wet.
Miror B1 votesIt was useful for doing the mission thingies, sorta. Not sure if it's just me, but with all the somewhat broken characters in normal games it makes ARURF feel not as special.
hhaavviikk1 votesI too remember when urf was fun, when it first got released during the first 3 days, then the meta sheep ruined the game mode for everyone
AR URF1 votesWith the addition of lethality, arurf was just shit.
Reaper Soraka1 votesHalf the champions I get I don't really feel like playing.
Just qweqwreqwewqeqwwqeqweqw down a lane until the games over. Doesn't even matter who wins to me. I just want to reroll champions.
KumaIsLeafy1 votesAR URF is kinda bad but which do you prefer? People spamming Evelynn
, Master Yi
, Garen
, Teemo
and Karthus
( wont even start to mention Xayah
and XIn Zhao
) every game or people only getting a chance to get those champions?
Plus getting a champion you don't usually play wont be a problem if you just play them more right?
Tegash2 votesI think the main problem i have is that a lot of the games I've come into will HAVE teams of these people, who will just dedicatedly reroll until they get those champions
I lit went up against a team of Nunu 
, Garen , Xin Zhao , Taric 
and Veigar 
and we had no way to be equipped for that.
It's like. Yeah the meta hounds make URF awful but they still make the game mode awful regardless of whether they can choose their champions or not. And personally I like being able to counterpick into abominations like that.
Not to mention I come across scripters LITERALLY every other match.
