Did riot accidently delete "urf files" and they can't restore them? kappa

it's the only logical reason why we never see urf anymore ... we only get ascesion and poro king (which is super boring )

"there is no Urf level."

I hope riot goes back to having modes up for a patch then go 3 entire months before maybe bringing out another game mode. Then lets see all the complaint threads of "but poro king and ascension weeehhhh" URF literally wasnt even that fun everyone made it shit by taking it so seriously and praising it as soem almighty god mode when its just 20 champs rotated between being banned and picked. So now we got ARURF and people bitch twice as much now because its not urf and there is no urf.

Frankly i hope it never comes back and they just keep working on new modes like blood moon and dark star. URF games get old af after 5 games unless you are just queueing up with a group of friends to dick around.

Actually, I'd prefer if they went the other way. Add a daily rotation like SMITE has. Some of the stuff is boring (URF-like modes where everyone on both sides is one mode specific character for example), but they do have some that throw odd twists into regular play (one of the more interesting ones starts you with enough gold that you effectively start at full build, early game is almost non-existent except for some really early leveling).

That's why they have a rotating game mode queue. I love URF in any form and spam games while it's up, but I think Dark Star got boring after about 10 games, and Ascension is completely boring altogether. You on the other hand don't like URF, while liking other game modes. So they rotate between them to keep the people like me and the people like you happy.

Of course having Urf up (or literally any game mode) as much as Poro King would get old and also be unfair to people like you, but having it up more than 2 weekends in a year seems very reasonable for people like me to request. And given the number of threads asking for it, I'd say a sizable minority probably agree with me.

The open beta of the new client was already under way when Patch 7.4 was released in late February 2017. ARURF was available 02/24 and 03/03.

I'm pretty sure you had to log into the legacy client to access it.

Sir FuzziJul 10, 20171 votes

If we could get verification or a Red to post on this that would be fantastic!

I abstained from the new client 'til it was forced on us.

That's even worse. How many functions have been unavailable due to them forcing the shitty new client way too early?

nope, i was using the beta client at the time. And i played it just fine through it.

I was using beta client and I got into URF fine

My icon proves I have been using this client a long time. ARURF was present on the new client and incredibly stable.

You don't pay attention clearly since we already had Urf. It was just the all random version of it but that doesn't change anything, it was still URF.

ProfDrDeathJul 11, 20172 votes

Incorrect.

Also, making URF or ARURF in the new client is not too terribly complicated, as these modes do not have much differences on the client side: URF uses your regular champion select, whereas ARURF uses the random selection from ARAM with a ban phase before (although I can see them being required to reprogram the ban phase now, with 10 bans).

By contrast, Hexakill and All-for-One require changes in the client, as the presence of a sixth champion or the ability for everyone to pick the same champ are things not normally implemented.

They say "were working on new gamemodes guys!!" but urf has already been used on the new client.

AR URFJul 11, 20171 votes

Yeah I had quit the game for a while and came back during season 6. The fun thing about the game was the diversity of the game modes. having the same game modes gets boring after a while. It's like trying a food. if all I eat every other day is a pizza or a burger(don't talk about health) it's going to get nasty. If variety was included like pizza(urf), burgers(ascension), burritos(hexakill), quesadillas(bloodmoon), hotdogs(poro king) etc. Oh man the just waiting for the weekend would feel like how it was when I was in school. It would be so exiting.
