AR "URF"

I'm pretty sure as ARURF comes to a close Riot games should issue an apology to the gaming community as a whole for the failure that is ARURF and release URF the following weekend, just URF doesn't need any fancy bells and whistles to be the most enjoyed game mode again.

The point wasn't to increase enjoyment, the point was to see more than 20 champions the entire weekend.

And that failed, because it's not random at all. I've had the same champions every game. I haven't seen more than 10 different ones.

Problem is, people are neihter plesured with urf nor arurf, the gamemode itself is a huge failure and should've never came back.

If Riot wanted to fix any of their game modes correctly, they would have reverted their changes to Ascension and gotten rid of DnD. Sadly neither of those will be coming.

I so back this. This was done just to piss on us as players. I honestly do not understand how AR did anything positive to URF.....Other than the fucking fanboys who are going to argue the old and wise tales of champion knowledge and diversity.....and they can shove that shit! summoner 11

No, This was not fair and no it didn't fix the same old champions that were broken before, because I saw Wukong and Sona in so many of my games that I couldn't even understand at the most primal level how the FUCK this was RNG! Random my ass. Random as fuck you mean...as in randomly every other 30 games you might get a champion you WANT to play. This was piss. I'm done supporting this trash ass company.

I haven't gotten the champs I wanted once. I have played so many rounds and get stuck with the same 5 champs for more than 8 rounds each that it is at that point that it is trying to piss you off. I am wanting to play the one champ that I waited 6 months to play as in URF and the 3 times I get her in the champ select someone abandons the match and I lose her. I am trying to get my tokens and enjoy a game as my fave character and it is now at that point where I won't even bother trying anymore. Goodbye AR URF. Hope to never see you again or I am done with this game.

What evidence that you have that ARFURF was a failure to the gaming community?

I did not play a single game of URF the last two(?) times it was available as part of the rotation game mode (only ever played it the very first time URF was released for April Fools day and the 1 year anniversary), but did play ~11 games of ARURF this weekend. Does that mean normal URF is a failure?

Regular URF had bans if I remember correctly. As well as being able to choose your champs. This time around it's "random" where you get the same 5-ish champs no matter what and end up fighting with noobs or against them. The matchmaking of the games is broken where it is pitting high rank players against bottom rank and it is tough to get a decent match. At this point you would be better off not playing or abandoning queues if you start getting the same champ. I got the same champ 4 times in a row out of the 28 champs I have available. That proves that this randomization isn't really there. I am done with AR URF for the time being and would rather smash my head into my desk for even bothering to play this game mode with the crap luck I have been having with it and the players.

I;m aware of how it and regular URF works.

I was just pointing it out because most people here are declaring it a failure because they don't want to play it/ they don't like. That is not evidence of it being a failure. That is just evidence of you being particularly vocal about the subject.

Interestingly looking at your account there is never once where you had the same champion twice in a row, let alone 4x. Are you sure your view towards ARURF is not tainted because you won only 3 of the 15 games you played (including having a 7 game losing streak?)

Reason why is cause I abandon the match or I reroll/trade. I have gotten the same champ 4 times in a row, it just won't show unless I play the match with that champ. I would rather abandon a match than play as the same 5 champs over and over. It isn't as random as people think.

Riot offers no one an apology. I think ARURF did things way better than regular URF ever did. I saw champs I've never seen before in URF, and I've gotten OP URF champs and non-OP URF champs, and every game has actually been fun, even the losses, because it's never been so incredibly one sided like normal URF is.

Normal URF was more of a failure because it created a "be this or counter this" scenario, which leads to incredible stagnation and has seen lesser games fall to ruin. There wasn't a single game in Normal URF that I played where Evelynn, Katarina, Urgot, Riven, Wukong, or Fizz weren't together dominating and utterly destroying one side of the game. You weren't allowed to pick fun, silly champs you might just want to enjoy, because some god awful tryhard was trying to wreck everyone he was up against with his team of nothing but OP URF champs. It was horrible, and it was only enjoyable to those who did nothing but played those champs with the sole purpose of wrecking everyone else.

ARURF, contrarily, removed this scenario. You may get one of them on a team now and again, but you usually had some way to compete against them. The games are actually nail biters and no longer expressly determined by champion select. You actually get to play champs you'd never think to take to URF, and you won't actually lose the game because of it, like you would in normal URF. This mode is infinitely better than normal URF, and the people who nay-say it are only those who would try to exploit the stagnant meta of normal URF for easy wins.

90% of my games have been incredibly one sided that it just got repetitive and demoralizing. I have lost too many games cause of this and being paired with teammates/trolls that refuse to group up and fight as a team. Most of my teams end up feeding the enemy before we have a chance to get fed/farm and it becomes a struggle for survival at this point and delaying as long as we can. We need to bring in bans at minimum so it isn't so one sided.
