URF is SUPPOSED to be broken as hell

TrikzterzArma··108 votes·21,300 views

I played back when URF was first introduced. You could pick any champ you wanted, without having to rely on RNG to get who you want cough ARURF sucks cough

I didn't mind dying to a Morgana who permasnared me, I still laughed my ass off when Evelynn would just machinegun me down, I loved facing the old braindead Soraka who spammed her Q. Why? Because it was just absurd and extremely fun! You could go with things that wasn't good at all in normals, but worked extremely well in URF!

I've wanted to play AP Ashe for the entire weekend, because it's fun as hell sniping someone down with her ult, but the game haven't given her to me at all.

URF was all about picking whatever champ you want and test out new things, and just slam your head on the keyboard and spam spells all game. It was FUN! Getting a completely random champ, often a champ you really don't want, and having to play with that champ for around 20 minutes isn't fun at all.

Next time, at least give us 10 bans, and allow us to play whatever we want after that. Or better yet, no bans at all! Ultra Rapid Fire is all about chaos, so allow us to have chaos.

I'm like 90% sure that both Kass and Ryze where banned in the original URF day one and Sona, Raka, and a few others met their fate after the 1st few days.

Ummm no. Only Karthus.

And sona is the only other permad character and that was only after this past snowdown urf.

Ryze used to be permanently disabled from urf because of how spammable his S4/S5 kit was. Kassadin was struck by it because of his R stacking.

after some days came Sona, Old soraka and hecarim (lethality helicopter heca is terrifying)

Harrowïng2 votes

Ryze is still disabled for URF. Same with raka and hecarim. Yet they still let untargetable champions plague the game. 10 games today and Yi has existed in every one of them

Raka is still in use, Sona is disabled

Ummmm no, Ryze and Kass were both removed during the 1st URF in 2014.

I played URF the first time it was introduced too. It was fun at first but then after a week, there was a meta overwhelming everything else. There was no more fun with all the tries hard in a casual mode. This is why they made it random.

Yeah, that's why it was never fun to play URF more than a few games (for me at least). The URF meta drains me real fast, especially when I try to do my own thing instead of following the meta.

Though, that doesn't mean I agree with Riot's persistent anti-normal URF sentiments. They can at least bring back regular URF (with 10 bans) every once in a while rather than actively avoiding it like the plague. It doesn't have to only be ARURF.

The reason they don't is because money.

I'm serious - player counts took a dive after URF was over, because of burnout or because normal league feels boring afterwards.

Then again, DOTA has a turbo mode (which is a buttload faster than normal DOTA but not near as insane as URF) and they don't have these problems, so i dunno.

Harrowïng9 votes

I agree with at least the 10 ban part. Champions that have abilities that make them permanently untargetable (yi, maokai) or immune to damage/cc. I'm all for the broken and chaotic shit. But the champs the NEGATE the chaos just don't make the game fun.

Veigar is one of those op annoying champions that negate the chaos

Pretty sure he's a late game champ, if he gets to 1200 AP it's instantly over.

you mean 40 in lane before backing right?

I feel like the opposite and that I couldn't play something fun in URF. Every thing I did couldnt beat vlads pool or Fizz e, which they were in every game.

Davaken5 votes

Their official reasoning for not putting back the old URF has nothing to do with balance issues, but instead because it made them lose players.

IS1c1c176269cfdf5 votes

You're remembering original URF with a nostalgic bias. But lemme help refresh your memory; it was fun to play maybe once or twice, but then it sucked. The same roster of maybe 5-6 champions were almost guaranteed to be picked every single game because they were OP as fack. This is the problem they're trying to solve with ARURF, and IMO it's better, although I still wish certain champs were disabled, or that bans were available.

What they should do IMO, is let you pick between 3 randomly selected champions. It's a psychological thing, the feeling of getting to chose is more important than the number of options.

TrikzterzArma4 votes

Maybe to you, but not to me. I played urf for the entire weekend it was released and Ioved it :)

3TWarrior2 votes

umm, what? the original urf was SO POPULAR that the mode was expanded from its original schedule to TWO MONTHS!

I played like 50 games of the original urf and mixed and matched, loving trying out what champions I had to see how they'd work

frankly, just like EVERY OTHER MODE, the worst champs to play were immobile, range-less champions, and even then, they still got played

Jax could keep his E up forever, Xin zhao hit his powerspike early

if the player wanted to play the champ, there were very few in the game that could not work under URF and that was usually because their kit was so outdated it could barely function at all (nunu for instance) and yet that was not even the case for some champions, such as urgot, who rose to S TIER in urf

Hügö5 votes

It would be fun if people wouldn't be so derperate for wins that they even enforce metas in fun modes. "NEED TO PLAY MOST BROKEN TO WIN"

Z3Sleeper4 votes

You are the scum of the earth. Goddam AP Ashe players in URF lmfao I hate you all. My friend does this every time he gets Ashe and misses every ult.

Like, welp, you missed the only spell you have that scales on AP and it's on a 20 second CD... go sit in fountain for a bit and think about your life.

TrikzterzArma2 votes

It's urf. If you really wanna win, play something else

Z3Sleeper2 votes

Lol I’m not actually mad my dude... maybe a little lmfao. But you do you.

Just expect the most unrelenting assault of missing pings when your ONE ABILITY THAT DOES ANY DAMAGE ON A 20 SECOND COOLDOWN MISSES!!!!

Riot is slowly getting what they want. to slowly kill urf until no one likes it

The worst part about All Random in general, not just ARURF, is that it's not really random. It just gives you the same champion three times in a row. Maybe even more. That's why I couldn't play it anymore.

SweedishGunner2 votes

Yeah I got Lucian two lobbies in a row and my friend who I was duo with got Nunu twice in a row. I haven't even been given a single champ I actually play to play in URF.

forreal ive had a swain every in every game ive played, and i havent seen a good 50% of champs. this isnt even close to "random"

Do you know the story of how Apple had to make their music shuffle LESS random because people didn't think it was random enough? Random doesn't mean you'll get every result, it only means that there's a chance for multiple different options to happen. Apple had to rig it to be less random because people could get the same song several times in a row. If you were to flip a coin 10 times in a row and you got Heads every time, would you argue that flipping a coin is not random?

GEN NeaR1 votes

That's what they say. I don't believe it though personally. Everyone who had an iPod or iPhone at the time said that shuffle only played about 7 songs out of 200, and it was always in the same order too. Shuffle was essentially a playlist lmao

xFastwasx3 votes

hey now, this is supposed to be a diffrent form of urf! it gives a whole random chance to play a champion you never thought of playing in reg. urf! for example: kennen. who knew that little shit would be sooooo fun to play as??? stuns for DAYS! and not to mention its still fun as hell when a xin is constantly able to blink onto you, even though the other person has no idea what hes doing! so give it a break. [poppy-wink]

YuGiHo1 votes

if i wanted to try kennen i would just pick him tho.

xFastwasx1 votes

what im saying is you should play kennen. dont play yasuo. play kennen.

YuGiHo1 votes

I saw a kennin, he was really good.

Red Wreckage3 votes

trust me, as much as I hate ARURF, 100% unlocked champ pool with no bans is not what anybody wants. You don't want Zed MonkeyKing Jax Ziggs in every single game. And Garen too. How the fk is this champ still not disabled in URF with his bugged spin damage?

I want a better re roll system, where re-rolls will allow you to pick a champion of your own choice. and 10 bans too.

DeathBeN0Tproud2 votes

If I recall correctly, Riot commented on Garen 's bugged spin saying: if it wasn't bugged he'd be one of the worst champions. So they won't fix the bug or remove him.

Karunamon1 votes

You're getting that better reroll system soon - if you reroll a champ, it goes into a pool that others can swap to/from.

Hammermancer3 votes

It's not even urf that's killing league, it's the fact that norns/ranked is a toxcic monotonous shitfest and it isn't any less balanced than urf sometimes

so you go through a weekend of playing the most fun mode they offer, but they ruined it, intentionally, and then you go back to the normal game and whatever is broken for that half of a season is still there, and is still more fucking broken than it is in urf.

and you're like "You know what riot? get your shit together"

I just dont get why they cant keep URF for good. If people are leaving after URF endes, dont end it. We used top have weekend game moeds, they are gone too, i guess this game will endup having only ranked and aram.

Yah what ever happened to the every weekend game modes. I'll admit I play alot more during special modes, cause let's face it you can only play on normal mode for so long before the eyes start to bleed from boredom.

That was literally in the patch notes for the second urf.

Trust me you did NOT want to pick that champion in the original urf. Much like yasuo you would just be miserable.

Oh so this was Intentional?...I should read more

Tryzzor1 votes

Do you not realize that the reason why Riot doesn't release regular URF and instead uses ARURF??? A bunch of people usually quit the game after a weekend of URF and that's not what they want. If you are unhappy with ARURF then don't play it.

remakoro3 votes

Yea. Better make people quit after one hour of ARURF. And make it as unpleasant for those who stay for weekend. (they will drop after 2 days anyway. URF gets veeery tiring and boring after a while. you do need a break from it)

Reviving old threads that already had their time to shine is against Universal Rules and as such I will be locking this thread to make sure it lands at the bottom of the howling abyss. I would encourage looking at how old a thread is before commenting on it.
