Snow Day Urf Sucks
Riot this is mode is absolutely terrible compared to the good ol' URF we love It has a few redeeming qualities but most of the "features" are just horid.
Good: -Snowball Marks allow for some quick movement between lanes and gives a really good sense of the fast pace of Urf -Icy SR fits in with the holidays
Bad: -ADCs are terribly overtuned. I got a pentakill and over 40 kills with Jinx by just standing turret mode in the middle of the enemy team. They didn't even live long enough to cast CC on me! I would recommend nerfing the 100% bonus attack speed on ADCs to 75%, or making the 25% buff to crit only apply on melees. -Limited champ pool is a bad idea. I know you guys had the good intention of having ice themed skins, which does LOOK good in game. BUT... a lot of us are completely let down that we can't play more than half the champ pool for the rare time that URF is actually put up -ARURF has to go, for at least one cycle. It has been well over a year (and a half?) since we have gotten normal URF, and playing 50 games of ARURF just to get a champ that sounded fun to play (only to get stomped by an op champ) is terrible. Please give us normal URF (with the ice summoners rift and snowball mark) but add in 10x bans system (not draft, just blind pick with a ban phase). -Games are absolutely one-sided. This ties in to ARURF where rather than allowing us to ban out cancer we don't want to play against, there is going to instead just be a random chance of someone getting said champion and ruining the match. One side might get like full juggs and the other gets all marksman. It feels bad to lose simply because you got an unviable pick (especially as your last reroll). -Trap limits are very unbalanced. Honestly most of the champs with trap limits can get more traps on the map at once IN NORMALS than in URF. I would recommend either removing trap limits completely or at least doubling them. When people complain just remind them that SWEEPING LENS is an item.
Seriously Riot, I don't see why you guys are being so stubborn with URF. You went out on a whim to use ARURF, and now when the community requests different you don't want to switch it back or apply other highly requested fixes? Many of the "fixes" you do just end up ruining the fun (see: trap limit) because one or two bronzies complained about it.
I encourage you to try to make this URF cycle one to remember, as the community's Christmas gift.
You have a whole PBE cycle to try and get it right, just listen to feedback.
There are many posts like this. Why dont you guys use your brain and take some of these into consideration like "Hey maybe we should make our game fun and not a fucking hastle to players." This game gets shittier and shittier as the seasons go on. Fix it.
just sit in the Enemies base just picking people off as soon as they spawned...14 minutes into the game.
He got a Pentakill a few minutes before hand.
