The correct answer would be, 3 days after normal urf's release years ago when people formed a meta.

Kids these days are so desperate for wins that no mode is fun mode anymore.

It's always been toxic lol

Since the majority of people who play the game for fun were chased away by riot's game design shifts...

This is also why games only last like 10 minutes. They've always had the potential to be that short, but previously people weren't pushing the nexus as fast as they possible could just to get that victory screen. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

I see this thread literally every time urf comes out.

The URF only accounts have arrived.

and now you know why people want normal urf back, not because they can then try fun champions, but because they want to win and pick the most OP champions

JustSaiyan694 votes

It's because of ARURF bud. It's like gambling for your happiness playing it. You either get op champions and have fun or the enemy team gets op champions and has fun. Honestly prefer normal urf over this shit because at least you could choose who you wanted and the cancer champs were banned.

And then people complain about people only playing OP champions.

I could give less of a shit about what other people pick, I just wanna play AP ashe for 20 games and borderline int for FUN. Not get stuck with fucking Yasuo vs a Xerath.

URF has been taken seriously almost since the day it was created... have you been living under a rock every single time it got released?

URF is boneified cancer one way or another, accepting that will make it a lot more fun. Nothing says "This is fine" more than Ashe spamming her arrows that hit farther than most skillshots because of the usual downtime in between.

since there are missions... Also how unbalanced it is

urf was always unbalanced tho and im not talking about missions i could give a rats dirty ass about them icons

Except you can get rewards like key fragments, skin shards, champ shards etc, I can see why someone would tryhard for them.

imo people started being more toxic when they weren't allowed to pick their champs anymore. It's hard to be positive when you know that the enemy team has a fizz or kassadin or whoever so you'll probably lose. ^^

The reason he talked about missions is because you can do them in urf mode.

People have already made been toxic in URF from the moment it was made.

I don't mind trash talk but when my own team flames me when I have the AUDACITY not to take flash/tp, that's when I question what's wrong with people. Doing random shit and inventing a new playstyle is exactly what makes urf fun. I almost can't believe there's urf meta slaves. Sorry I made you stress about your urf rank bro.

"heal/shield? noob!" XD

it actually did pretty well because they practically multiply your hp by 1.5 amid all the crazy, at least if you're a squishy

Yaskamasandwich3 votes

People take the entire game seriously. This has been fact when people cared just as much in normals as they do in ranked. Even though the entire point of normals was to have fun and not care, even trolling for stress relief was good. Now people are forced to care in normals, aram, everything. Lo and behold toxicity increased tenfold because everyone is stressed out.

Just mute them. The way I think of it, if they take urf that seriously then they must suck at normals.

That was URF where people COULD choose things they wanted to have fun with :P Now its kinda just there... like aram but faster

Mizaya2 votes

It's a terrible cycle. Well-intentioned players get matched against people with rigged champ pools, unfun builds, etc. They get frustrated and end up doing the same because it's not fun to play against that casually. And so it spreads.

LyingOnLine2 votes

People have been toxic in URF right from the very beginning. As for the tryharding and meta...well, why the fuck do you think they made ARURF in the first place?

I think the biggest problem is how sucky af Sion is in URF, seriously only thing he's good for in urf is the kick.

3TWarrior1 votes

full-AD sion?

his ratios and bases are pretty good even when mildly charged

only problem is staying in range

Now that it's AR Urf, I've seen messages about how we only won because we got the op champions, and about how the enemy team was playing better but we got luckier. It just makes me feel sad because it really just makes me wonder what would've happened if our champions were flipped... It really ruins the victory if my team had one.

I don't usually let things like this get to me, but I can't help but wonder because this is AR.

blitzcrank, thresh, nautilus filler filler against all marksmen (probably in ARAM)

who will win? XD

extreme example, but i've seen similar cases. It was funny but during the original urf, I had a team where we all tried hard to have as many hook champions as possible

Probably cause of ARURF. I barely saw anyone this toxic in URF, but every time ARURF happens, I see mass toxicity.

Also cause the League community gets more and more toxic.

I have yet to play an ARURF match where implied "you're selling your body for cash", "ez", "izi", "suggestion of a lack of skill", "your mom etc.", "reference to female genitalia" and so on and so forth hasn't been spewed out on a regular basis.

I thought URF was meant to be a chill meme-esque game mode for fun, and now I see people being toxic in it and not having fun with it, which is what it's meant for.

The lack of this makes for some proper entertainment in the chat though.

Especially as it's usually in all-chat, and that can be recorded from the replays - and added to my collection (uncensored, ofc.). :) I share that collection sometimes. Makes for huge laughs how funny these flamers can be. ^^

Also, what's the deal on Teleport? I refuse to take Teleport, as I've had more success with Heal/Flash. I don't care if Teleport is being perceived as better - it's still my choice.

They take it seriously? Well there is another reason I will probably never play it. I take the Rift Seriously, not a rotating game mode....

Kloqdq1 votes

I feel it's all the Bronze 5 rejects that have been perma banned 3 times now coming to Urf and spreading their toxic waste some more. Though I could be wrong.

Just Jangle1 votes

People took it seriously since the day of release a couple of years ago.
