URF came twice last year. Once in its normal form, and again as ARURF. Riot even announced when they began the RGM that URF would only appear twice last year, yet people screamed for it every other week. When URF was active, the boards were whining and complaining that it's boring, that the same champs are played, and that cheese team comps ruin the mode. This is all true. When it was ARURF to counteract this, people complained that it was random and that they didn't get to play what they liked. When URF wasn't live, people complained that URF wasn't live. So it's a total loss situation no matter where URF is.

Hey, I always stood by regular URF. Because regardless of whomever people used most, there were many more than five broken champs to use. I loved playing things like Jhin and Malphite, and Blitzcrank and Varus, and I was banished to a mere 1% chance of playing them with ARURF. I gosh darn miss those cancerous Blitz knockups.

I miss it too, I loved using Karthus, Cassiopeia, and Miss Fortune. But people abusing it are why the rest of us can't have nice things.

Could have just gutted them in that mode like they did to Alistar, you know.

They said "at least twice" implying it could come more. Fact check before you start spewing wrong info bro you sound like a sheep.

??? Just because some people said that they liked URF does not mean that it is the exact same people saying that they dislike it later... There are a lot of people on the Boards.

For real. It's so annoying when people for some reason think that all the people posting on the boards are all the same. Doesn't take a lot of brain power to realize that there are people here that want different things.

"But I always see Ezreal in URF and I think we should change it to prevent people from playing the champ they have the most fun with !"

"I dont care about winning, I play for fun but I definitely died and lost because people only tryhard in a fun mode."

"Pliz Rito, make URF random so we can get Tahm Kench and Kalista against Sona and Azir, this lane will be fun."

What? URF does suck. It's entirely boring and uninteresting. You just play the same 3 champions that happen to be OP on the map over and over and give yourself carpal tunnel. It's the worst game mode. I like Ascension more even. You just don't like that Riot was correct and that very few people actually like URF.

So basically just like normal LoL except games have no weight and the fact that it's way more fast paced so you can just sit back and have fun.

Wait, you think Ascension is fun but URF is boring?

Chamuel851 votes

I didn't say Ascension was fun. If you read it, I just said Ascension > URF. Which is not the same as saying Ascension is fun. For instance, I prefer having my arm broke more than my back being broke. That doesn't mean I like my arm getting broke.

URF is polarizing. Honestly, it is my least favorite or the RGMs, but that's largely because I don't play any of the champions that best abuse the game mode, and I also recognize outright that I can't play quite as fast as the mode requires. But just because I don't like it doesn't mean I feel like the mode should never come around. Nobody is forcing me to play it when it's out!

Beyond just that, though, the topic of URF on the boards is frankly a bit overdone. Especially threads asking for it to be a permanent mode. In explaining why they only bring URF around every once in a while, Riot effectively answers why they wouldn't make it a permanent mode, too. It's just not going to happen, and the topic itself has been beaten to death, hence the downvotes when it comes up again.

What's more, Riot has to get all the RGMs up and running for the new client still, and they've stated as much. Back when it launched, they explained that they'll be introducing the different modes to the new client over time. So while I have no doubt that URF will be coming down the pipeline on the new client, we just have to be patient while it gets there. I'd guess they'll probably be working toward bringing it out for April again, if possible. But again, demanding URF back into the RGM when it's not even ready in the new client yet is just pointless, hence the downvotes when it comes up.

If you don't like to play games because you don't use the broken champs, why play at all?

I don't play this game to just sit there abusing whatever is broken at the time. For Summoner's Rift, there are champions I enjoy playing, and there are those I don't (I'm a support main, btw). And this is coming from somebody who mainly plays ARAM anymore, on a non-ARAM account (I have a lot of champions that aren't god-tier in ARAM, and will happily play almost all of them).
