How I think URF can be fixed (had to remake for paragraphs)

Two sides, hardly any middle ground.

The arguments I've seen:

ARURF: Has champion variety, and is more "fair," in that the obnoxious champions aren't guaranteed.

URF: You know what you play, and games are less likely to be one sided because RNG doesn't influence the champion selection. 3 bans a team allow for some moderation.

Side Note: After looking at both of these arguments, I think the problem is that both Riot and the players tend to forget that this game mode isn't supposed to be balanced.

My answer: Obviously, blind pick leaves people unhappy (that's why ARURF exists), but trying to balance the game with ARURF just makes the game more stressful, especially when RNJesus frowns on you and/or the rest of your team.

I think the best solution is classic draft pick: three bans a team, everyone picks a champion an order, no duplicates. That way you can pick nearly anyone you want, but still have to worry about counters.

They did fix it by creating ARURF and it's great. The other argument no longer exists except for people who can't play anything other than FOTM champs.

That's another problem: people refuse to look at the other side of the issue, as shown here.

That's because there is no other side anymore. It was abused and changed for a reason that most people wanted. It made things much better for the majority of the player base.
