Didn't we just have it a few months ago? we have enough game modes to go longer than that without repeating but riot are just deciding not to give us the game modes we actually like.

Seriously though, are riot ever planning on giving us urf?

There was an ask riot about this a while back

We still aim to build new modes and release them as often as we can to you guys (we just released Blood Moon and Dark Star modes this year). Unfortunately, we can’t build a whole Dark Star mode every month though. In between, rather than have nothing at all on the weekends, we bring back some reliable favourites (EG: Ascension & Poro King), so there’s still something fun to play when you want a break from the regular game. We feel like this is better than the alternative of nothing at all to play in between each new big mode. For those of you who remember, we actually used to run game modes that way pre-RGM, and it felt pretty quiet for the long stretch between each mode (~3 months at a time). This way, there’s still some fun stuff around on the weekends to play with, even if it is something that’s been seen before. We’ve also been steadily building new client compatibility for the more successful older RGM modes (One For All, Hexakill), but #gamedev means it’s slow going sometimes. We’re doing this in parallel with building our new modes (EG: Blood Moon & Dark Star). The good news is, we now have the Doom Bots of Doom stood up in new client! Newer modes are also dev-freebies with being built in the new client from scratch, so they are much easier to bring back (Blood Moon just went live and Dark Star is coming up again soon).

TLDR: Most game modes are not possible on the new client yet.

However, we have already had ARURF in the new client and the Chinese servers are doing an Urf event right now. (They are typically behind one patch)

First off like LTGPanda said ARURF has already been used with the new client so we know it has been built for it.

Second that statement from ask riot was a bunch of bullshit that was just copy pasted from a post he made on the forums about a month earlier (which didn't mention URF at all btw). You can read more about that on the thread I made asking for answers about the RGMQ here if you'd like -

Honestly OP I seriously doubt we'll get URF anytime soon. Riot has some huge stick up their ass about the mode and won't even talk about it anywhere let alone put it back into the queue. Makes me too disgusted to even play the game some days I want URF back so badly.

I'd like to at least see some information as to why we haven't gotten URF back yet but I doubt we'll get that either just stop spending money on the game if you do like I am. Probably won't change anything but it feels better to not be supporting this stupid shit.
