"hurdur where's urf" *gets urf* "omg wtf urf is dumb only op champs are played"

ARAM URF, all champs unlocked so so Aram accounts don't get any benefit. Now it's as fair as it'll ever be

aram urf, thats possibly the worst idea ive ever seen. I don't even want to think about all the monstrosities that would utterly devastate that mode. In Aram Veigar is such absolute BS, I cant even fathom all the cages hell dish out, or all the Ekko Ws, or Varus/Jayce Qs.... and not to forget Lux and Ziggs

I'd be too scared to ever play that mode

This seems pretty accurate if you can remember the forum posts from back then. It was basically, "URF seems like such a great mode on paper, until you throw in people and only see the most OP champs." It makes sense that Riot would at least reduce its frequency in the rotation so that frustration can die down and peoples' fondness for it can grow again.

They said that they'd be willing to look into alternatives to help diversity if I'm not mistaken. Hexakill URF would force people to add an extra champ to the mix, changing the map formation almost every game (ie a 2/2/2 lane comp one game, a 2/1/2+jungle the next, and 1/2/2+jungle for the ambitious, or even 1/1/2+2 jungle if you predict the enemy team not having one or you want to try counter jungling for your farm/kills).

People also mentioned Nemesis URF, which Riot responded by saying that it wasn't off the table completely, but people should be able to play the champs they want to in modes and not have them removed simply because their champ is common and strong. It would definitely help diversity, but they may need to ban particular problem cases like Yasuo and Rumble so they aren't always picked.

Lastly I've heard of Random URF where the champion select is like ARAM but it's still played on Sumoner's Rift. They'd probably be much more inclined to make the system where 'ARAM draws from all champs, not just the ones you own' before doing this.

Dont compare urf to gold. Urf is challenger. Maybe high diamond

According to Most People Gold is a worthless metal when it was discovered as it had no practical uses, In modern times it has changed to be a really good conductor for electricity with a decent resistance to not melt near instantaneously (Looking at you Silver). The only reason Gold ever become considered a symbol of wealth is because People are Banana Shit Crazy for Shiny things.

Because they want it to be special and something to be cherished. For example if everyone had gold bars, gold wouldn't be worth much.

While I get your point, gold is probably a bad example. Gold has real value beyond 'its worth a lot of money because economy says so.' It's a great electrical conductor, and is used in lots of cables and computer parts for that reason, (though in very small amounts.) It doesn't 'rust', so whatever you make out of it will last. So it's used in teeth fillings and replacements, and space program stuff. And it's even used in the medical field (hello south park...you were right.....again...)

So, if everyone had gold bars laying around...the world would likely be a better place. (Better electronics, better/more reliable power supply cables, better/longer lasting tooth fillings that don't poison you like the silver/mercury filling do now. Better space program.)

But on URF topics, I think URF is actually toxic to League as a whole. If it was around all the time, people would get used to manaless, super short cooldown gameplay. Which is fun, but at a heavy cost. Eventually, if URF was up 24/7, a large part of the community would start begging for more of that to be added to the real game, or champs to be specifically balanced so they 'work' in URF. Which would lead to champs with incredibly high skill ceiling. Which would lead to champs that theoretically, noone could play 'well' Which would lead to only people with 120+ APM ridiculous buttonmash skills being able to play pro-level play. The game would deteriorate because noone would be good enough to play, and because it would stop being about who is the smartest/best strategist, and just be about who can spam the most buttons in the smallest amount of time.

StarCraft Brood War suffered from this problem because it had nothing to stop spam/high APM play. So the game became less and less about who can make the most creative builds/counter builds/general strat, and just who could make a decent build happen REALLY REALLY fast. So pro play became far less about 'He's going for a 9 pool strat this time.' Or 'HE BUILT 2 BARRACKS!!1' and more and more just became 'oh he got his 1st tank out at 2:48 and the other guy won't have his out till 3:04, GG WP, game over.

You might not think this would actually happen. But imagine a world where casuals all play URF (which is likely, because really, at bronze and silver there is no team strat anyway, so why not just play the faster mode where you can solo-carry,) and the pro's play rank-draft. Casuals get used to this super fast spam-playstyle, then go and watch a 'pro' match and it looks super slow and 'boring' to them. Because they lack understanding of strategy and are just used to the fast, random, manaless playstyle they play. Riot then has to do things to make pro more exciting to watch, or lose their LCS fanbase (cooldowns, mana costs, early game time all down) ..and slowly but surely, pro-play just because slug-fest of spam and lacking any 'real' strategy that makes it what it is now.

/puts away tinfoil hat

I can't wait.

I wish they would keep doom bots for new people to just probably practice like.

Positioning and dodging abilities.

Intro teaches you basics. Beginner is like, you're getting comfortable with basics, now you're learning how items and mechanics work. Intermediate is where you learn to kite Doom bots.. well yea.. positioning and Dodging. ?

I honestly don't know.... I'm kinda just making the shit up as I guess... xD

Plus saying there will be no urf on April Fools would be a good way to have there be urf on April Fools, as an April Fools prank. They were being honest so I don't rag on them, but they said it very suspiciously. "There will definitely be no urf. No, really guys. We're super serious." They should have just said it lowkey and gave the reason. Example: "We're pushing urf back guys so it won't happen on April Fools but it'll happen later."

Boom, case closed, that's all they should have said. It doesn't seem like a troll/joke and it gets the point across.

Sounds like the Metagame in any LoL match. =P

If you get frustrated by URF I don't know why you play it. Why do you care if people pick OP champs, its not like everyone does it and you can do it yourself. Its not unfair in any way unless you are first pick.

Then how about all Random?
