ARURF Is More Oppressive Than URF

Fiddledixxx·9/23/2016, 5:20:12 PM·43 votes·6,088 views

Since most people only picked strong champions in URF, it was a lot easier to prevent or fight back from, a potential obliterating snowball. now that people get things like warwick, taric, nasus, singed, tahm kench, olaf, all of which ive been, or gotten on just MY team in 3.....f***ing....games....but now that people get things like that, all it takes is for 1 enemy team member to be something slightly stronger like shaco, zed, wukong, sona, morgana, irelia, xin zhao or syndra, all of which i or my team have faced, as these horrible picks for URF. ARURF is not the answer to URF, and URF will never be what it was when it felt special. just gonna wait another 3 months to see what riot will do with it now

BEHOOOOOLLLLLLD. ULTRA RAPID FIRE MODE, LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFOOOOORE

UUUUUUURF

on twisted treeline....

oh goody, a quicker path for my teammates to walk into death, and even QUICKER games. do we get rewards if we win in under a minute?

Yea I'm really not excited for ARURF... like at all.

I play aram so the game can try and force me to do something new that I'm unfamiliar with. I play urf so I can play champions I enjoy and love and see them have stupid crazy cooldowns and mana.

I can't combine those two things as they're completely different. I don't want to learn maokai via urf mode.. I'd rather learn just maokai. I want to play champions that I wait an entire year for to see strong in a gamemode.

Like I get seeing a shaco every game is irriating, but thats why you have draft mode banning and disables. I'd rather see a champion every game and be able to play a champion I throughly enjoy as an option, than be forced to play something I despise or don't give a damn for in urf just for the possibility of not going against other champions that are "urf meta".

Can confirm, AR U.R.F sucks ******

ARURF is shit. I'll be blunt. I'm pretty fucking sure that the solution to making a game mode more fun is not to force people to play things that they don't want to play.

I played poppy against a team of urgot, rammus, zed, eve, and twitch. WHAT THE FUCK i thought it was supposed to be inclusive to all champs but it just makes the game more one sided than it was before. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Yep it's pretty boring, too many massive mismatches and it's pretty much impossible to even improvise when your team comp basically stands no chance whatsoever

Lol when I said it was going to suck and be oppressive after their announcing it, everyone flamed me. Well suck it up now puff butt.

ar urf isnt nearly as much fun as normal urf. i didnt care about the snowballing champs like heca or something like that. at least i could pick something to counterplay against those champs. now i get champs that cant oppose the enemy and i have to deal with it for 20 minutes of dying, going to lane and dying again.

while i dont agree the the champions r the problem its the players lack of choice....i dont want to be karma jinx or kassidin in this new urf mode....i look forward to urf to play a few champions that i can play well in urf mode, now i dont even get to choose??? i have seen 2 ppl in my 4 games play the champ im most accomplished at in urf mode. now im tilted, taking a break and i honestly dont want to play this urf again.

whats next in the All Random solves the issue.....AR one for all??? (that is not an actual idea to consider)

It's even worst!! games winnable by luck.. F**K that. At least in the old it is still winnable by playing smart.. Now you have no chance...

& for gods sake riot! nerf heals!!

wastehound9/29/2016, 10:26:41 PM3 votes

all random urf is garbage. all weekend and I got to play a champ I like on urf ONCE! urf was at its best the very first time it was released and EVERYONE loved it. the only nerf I can condone on that game mode are the shroom limit on teemo and the box limit on shaco. that's it. any other nerf is outright dumb for the simple fact that you are trying to balance a game that is by nature unbalanced.

to all of you saying, "im glad cuz im tired of seeing the same 20 champs on that game mode", you should really stop playing league then cuz pro players in lcs pick the same 20 champs every game too. why? cuz its meta. same reason on urf and every other game mode. you don't play by the meta, you're probably gonna get stomped. plain and simple. at least on urf you can have fun anyway cuz your champ is ridiculous. like some other people have said, you can make non meta champs viable by simply exploiting their strengths in ways that only work on urf.

to those of you saying "if you don't like it then don't play it", YOU are the reason they are doing this to urf and I say to you, if you don't like urf or think it is "getting stale", THEN DONT PLAY IT. don't ruin it for the MAJORITY of players, and it IS the MAJORITY of players that love urf. do I need to point at the 5 second queue timers??? or should I point at the 99% of negative reviews about all random urf???

in summation all I have to say is this, stop fucking with urf. stop trying to balance urf. roll this shit back to the first day of urf with only the nerfs on teemo and shaco still in place and let us enjoy our game. (my apologies to teemo and shaco players but you know that shit is disgusting)

i have 50 champions in this account and i've played AR URF 13 times already and in 6 of them the game gave me olaf Olaf , the same fkn useless champion 6 fking times is a row summoner 14 ... is that what you call random riot? they should be giving at least double the rerolls so we can have a chance to play and enjoy it and not try to queue 6-7 times cause everyone is leaving champion selection because they don't like the random champion that has been given to them. There are times that trying something new is fun but if something is already hella fun like urf and people enjoy it don't change it into something random . We wait a whole fking year to play URF and now we get AR URF...[slayer-jinx-unamused]*

I played All Random Ultra Rapid Fire this last weekend and I was very disappointed in the "ALL RANDOM" part. The game kept on trying to give me 1 of 3 champs out of the 15 or so games I played. I didn't mind playing with a bunch of all new champs in URF but I only had 3 choices it seemed. Ezreal, lux, and morgana where those 3 it almost never gave me another champ even rolling into one of those 3. Riot Get on fixing that "ALL RANDOM" thing. I don't appreciate playing the same 3 champs all weekend. Because if it happens again I wont even bother playing it since it is down right boring or dumb. Thanks TinkerWatch.

...please tell me ur trolling?

..please!!??!?!

I kinda agree, Urf has the benefit of having 5 strong vs 5 strong, now there is a chance of a team getting terrible champs like gragas or rumble who have time delay skills which get killed in urf. then there is the possibility of randomly rolling xin or eve etc.

xin just literally kills everything as an example.

I don't see how all random is worse than the Vlad, fizz, and zed only version.

I dunno what you're on about. I loved playing Taric in URF.

URF Warwick > Shaco That's my experience

ChaosThief9/24/2016, 1:54:26 AM1 votes

Warwick as bad? Jesus what kind of people do you play with?

No but seriously, it's not just about what champion you get, it's knowing how to use the champion in the conditions applied. For instance, given nasus 10-15 minutes and he can run two towers down by himself; singed can hold waves of enemies minions from ever reaching lane (permanent poison trail is fun), etc. Certain champions just take some skill and experience to play in URF as well; I had an amazing time as full AP warwick in URF, playing either the go in and die assassin that would always take an enemy (flash ult and a squishy dies 100% of the time), or the unstoppable drain tank duelist.

To the point: Not always about the champion you get, it's also about how you use them and abusing their strengths rather than weaknesses. Some champions will have a list of strengths if played correctly; just have to understand how.
