No more excuses, RIOT, BRING BACK URF !!!
Riot stop giving us excuses like this
> But when we turned on regular URF, it was different. In NA, for example, whenever we ran URF we’d usually see over twice as many longtime players leave the game compared to what we would’ve normally expected.
Of course they will leave, of course, but what you get wrong is that people leave permanently. They may leave for a couple of weeks, a month or two. Yes people leave permanently, they always do, but Riot Games, you don't understand that people have to get used to the slower gameplay again. It is completely normal and most of them would probably come back after a couple of weeks. Riot, what you said is just an excuse and you are hiding the real reasons.
So yea, it sucks, no URF. We didn't get normal URF for almost two years. We got that stupid ARURF (basically RNG victory in champ select), then Snow Battle ARURF (the same as before, just no cancerous champions, which I don't really like). Those gamemodes can be fun, but not as much fun as when you can choose your own champion. I hate getting Poppy or a tank and then get flamed for playing him full AD / AP (full AP Mundo, full AD Poppy), even if I can't choose my champion. It can be fun for a few games, but not more than that. RNG victories are no fun.
Now the real URF, you can play it as much as you want, whatever you want, how you want. Yes, there is a list of the most used champions, but other than that the gamemode is fine. You can play with your friends and try a combo (Hook City) or you can play Zed and LeBlanc as much as you want, excluding bans. It was so good and cool + having 1300k hp instead of 1300 and dealing TONS of damage. I miss that URF, especially the 2015 one, the grand opening. It was so epic and apart from some major balance changes and reworks (not talking about champions), that is what this game needs.
Now I know some people don't like normal URF, so I would suggest adding both URF and ARURF at the same time. That was people who enjoy ARURF, but nor URF, can still play a gamemode. I suggest having this event once or twice a year (April Fool's Day definitely and maybe at the end of the season) for two weeks. What do you think about my suggestions? Answer this poll.
P.S. Snow Battle ARURF should stay as a Christmas event, swapping with Legend of the Poro King every two weeks.
