I can see why they don't keep URF

Simply put URF is just TOO MUCH FUN.

Who would play the regular Summoner's Rift if they had the option between that and URF?

URF is silly URF is fun URF isn't stressful (except when someone forgets to ban Nidalee) URF is a place where you don't have to bother with mana URF is a place where high cooldowns don't matter URF is fast URF is exciting

Summarized; URF is like an illicit drug. It's a ton of fun, you get really high on it, everything is good, everyone is happy. But once it disappears, you crash. Hard. Suddenly regular mode has lost its luster. You miss the days of 1.6 second Shaco dagger throws. You gotta get your fix!

In short, URF is the epitome of anti-summoner's rift, and everyone loves it. Even the ARAM weirdos.

I'm sure that if there were a Ranked URF selection, nobody would ever go back to playing regular old Summoner's Rift!

I don't think it's very fun on its own, actually. It was fun on its own for like the first 2 games. After that, it may as well have been normals summoner's rift, in that I get my fun in interacting with my opponents. When my opponents are Nid, Zed, Mundo, or Sona, the game just sucks, because I have no means of outplaying them. You just have to wait for them to end the game.

Yes you do have options to outplay them. I stomp most nidalees if I play Yi because BoRK+Homeguard boots is gg. She can't fight back in melee range. Same with Zed. I 4th buy Zhonyas against him when he starts getting big, and early game you can completely cancel his ult with your Q. Same for Mundo, BoRK+LW+Maw is gg. Can also beat Sona if you Q dodge her ult.

Always play Ahri MasterYi Evelynn , Zed Nidalee Sona only work against immobiles.
