I was just watching some URF videos, then I got to thinking...

Syndra's new max-W Passive's going to give her a ton of extra damage in URF, especially when she can set up Q balls and activate her Ult so quickly. Combine that with her stun and she's going to be an actual threat in URF. Then there's also Kalista's new (old?) Rend mechanics, which (while it wasn't so terrible to deal with due to high CDR) will increase her viability in URF and allow her to stack spears whenever she wants. Lucian's increased damage ratio's going to make him usable again as well. There'll be more changes to champs before Riot ever decides to do another URF weekend, but we should start paying attention to the nerfs and buffs on champs in successive patches before URF comes so we can be prepared to use and deal with them.

Well they'll do it sooner or later, but I agree that it's an annoyingly long wait. Riot had said in the beginning of '16 that Game Modes were going to be systematic and ALL GAME MODES were going to be on an easy-to-read schedule...yet all we get is mostly LotPK, Ascension, and Nexus Siege, with barely any URF and Black Market Brawlers never released. It's like Riot promised to do something, then they decided to fire most of their employees and hire new ones or something.

Sounds like what they would do, tbh. I forgot Black Marker Brawlers even existed for a second. I loved that mimic item.
