The real reason we get ARURF instead of URF

Riot has said multiple times (and the players here on the boards have reiterated it) that URF suffered from a stale meta. The same champions every game.

Right, we saw the same meta OP picks in URF every game. The following is a non-comprehensive list of champions I have seen various players complain they have "seen every game" in URF: Ahri Akali Alistar Amumu Annie Ashe Azir Bard Blitzcrank Brand Braum Caitlyn Cassiopeia Chogath Corki Diana DrMundo Ekko Elise Evelynn Ezreal Fiddlesticks Fiora Fizz Galio Garen Gangplank Gragas Graves Hecarim Illaoi Irelia Janna JarvanIV Jax Jayce Jhin Jinx Karma Karthus Kassadin Katarina Kayle Leblanc LeeSin Leona Lissandra Lucian Lulu Lux Malphite Malzahar Maokai MasterYi MissFortune Mordekaiser Morgana Nami Nasus Nautilus Nidalee Nocturne Orianna Rammus Renekton Rengar Riven Rumble Sejuani Shaco Sivir Sona Soraka Swain Syndra TahmKench Taliyah Talon Teemo Thresh Trundle Tryndamere TwistedFate Varus Vayne Veigar Velkoz Viktor Vladimir Volibear MonkeyKing Xerath XinZhao Yasuo Zed Ziggs Zilean Zyra

So the real reason we get ARURF instead of URF? Count them, somehow in a 5v5 game mode we see 98 champions every game.

Like seriously people, get a life. That's 98 champions that are perfectly strong in URF and viable picks in to anything. The excluded ones aren't even excluded because they're bad, but simply because I haven't seen anyone complain about them being OP.

URF NEVER had a problem with too few champions being played. This is roughly DOUBLE the champion pool we see across 16 different teams throughout the world champions (83 games played). I'm sorry if the champion you like to play doesn't happen to be as OP busted in this game mode as the others are - but that's no reason to make a mode that many others had fun in (by getting to play what they wanted to play, rather than needing to spam 50 games to get the one champion they want to try in the mode) generally not super-fun but only kind of fun.

Yasuo

To be fair the guy complaining about Yasuo may have meant he's always in URF mode (in regular games) as opposed to the champion being too strong in URF mode. I can remove that one if you really want...

heh,like how you put Janna in there. but late game people do a lot of damage and she becomes more a 'one hit immunity every 2 seconds' liability. but early she just makes somebody invincible so.

Point about early game is spot on - she excels at giving her team lots of room early to let them snowball to win. If it gets to late she sort of loses, however her flash+ult is up often enough to still help make plays (she also denies a lot of divers who are strongest late game, like Xin or Jax).

The fact that URF was so busted it somehow let nearly 100 champions in to a 5v5 game. Pretty big bug there.
