URF is terrible. Stop bringing it back.

In my experience URF entices you with the possibility of a super pop-off game. But in reality most of your games are going to be stupid and frustrating. It just takes all the bad things about League and amplifies them massively. It takes some good things and amplifies them too, but let's be real. Solo queue is toxic and frustrating most of the time. There is way more "bad" to amplify than "good". It scales harder.

I used to play some URF every time it came back and then I'd get disgusted and say "Never again!" but then next time I foolishly played it again. Well now I know better. I remember that it's going to be lame 90% of the time so I don't play it anymore.

I think the burn out theory about why URF makes people quit is slightly off the mark. People do not burn out from "too much fun!!" but rather, the expectation vs reality of URF. They seek that elusive super pop off game, but most of the time it's just frustrating and bad. Eventually this burns people out and they just kinda take a break. And then their League addiction is likely to be broken because they start being happier without League solo queue in their life. It's not that URF makes regular League seem not as exciting anymore. It's that URF is so fucking bad that it breaks them out of the endless cycle of toxic solo queue for long enough that they get interested in something else or realize they weren't happy playing this game.

You meant to say ARURF im pretty sure of it...

URF was changed because people would see the same champs over and over again but it doesn't matter because no one forced you to play them... ARURF is absolute trash because no one wants to play a random champ this is not fucking ARAM.

Any type of URF they can think of. If you think of a new way to do URF, stop! Whatever you do with URF it's still going to be trash.

Practice mode. Basically after URF became AURF its sole purpose for you to entertain yourself in freedom has been compromised. Riot failed to even notice what made it fun.

This is the trend that has been constantly going on for two whole seasons.

Do you know why Riot changed Urf to what is it now?

BECAUSE YOU WOULD SEE THE SAME FUCKING CHAMPIONS EVERY GAME

That's why. Urf was fun for a game or two, and thats it. AURF at least keeps every game different.

It does keep every game different but the problem is tat if anybody gets a meta champ (Tryndamere for example) you just lose.

And WHO wanted it different in the first place. Douchebag meta players can be tryhards, fools can fool around as they please. That is what URF was all about. Now it is a pitiful diceroll. ARAM is more better.

Urf literally made people quit after it was over, stop telling them to bring it back.

The game’s population went down drastically after URF and toom half a year to even recover.

Don’t play ARURF if you don’t like it. Simple

I didn't say they should bring back URF. I said they should not bring it back....... The implication being: "Do not bring it back in any form including ARURF."

URF is garbage, but the ADHD underages that so much plague the game and still don't understand LoL is a strategic game love it, so it won't leave anytime soon. They should bring back new dominion instead.
