If ARAM has taught us anything, it is that players will not play champions who they feel is too weak. Countless ARAM games are dodged simply because of this. ARAM-only accounts are made simply because players want to play what is good, not what is absolute garbage or what they have no idea of how to play.
Maybe make the second weekend just the original normal URF mode so we get both types for those who like them.
BLACK HALO V107 votesHonestly, after playing like 50 ARURF games on the PBE, normal URF is soooo much better. At least then I have a choice of what I pick into the OP crap, because there's still going to be OP crap every game regardless of whether it's random or not. I've had people turn down OP champs simply because they'd rather try something else. If RIOT were to see that chat, then they'd realize their mistake in making it random. People don't play URF just to pick OP stuff, they play it to try FUN stuff. Sadly FUN usually equals OP, but not always! I've played my fair share of AP Panth and AP Rammus. If anything, all the changes to URF since the release has only made it LESS fun(the first time was amazing). I liked URF for the random chaos. It never needed to be heavily balanced the way it has been. Just let us have 10 bans and problem solved. Stop making this more of an issue than it has to be. Too bad RIOT won't do this as RIOT knows best, right? META isn't something that will be as specific like it is in high elo solo queue, simply because it's not the same in even the slightest bit. I've played 3 Graves games on the PBE in ARURF, but I haven't played a single Ezreal or Varus game. I'd like to be able to try all the champs in the game before the event ends. Not just because I want to play the OP stuff, but because I want to try something new(duh!). So please, don't make it random!
NiNJ4 LEMON3 votesI agree with this guy, I think if we had normal URF instead of ARURF, and a 10 ban system was implemented into it, it would allow for players to ban out the champs that make URF unenjoyable and actually leave us with a solid game mode that we enjoy. PLease Rito take this into consideration ;-;.
DarkRitual2 votesSome find ARURF more fun. Some find Nemesis Draft fun. Some find Poro King fun even after having it repeatedly shoved down our throats.
Not every mode needs to appeal to everyone. Not every mode is guaranteed to come back in their original forms.
That's just how things are currently.
Divinemethed2 votesThe Problem is not if ARURF is fun or not the problem is it takes SO LONG to get in a game because people just dodge until they get a good Champion.
DarkRitual1 votesThen having stronger dodge penalties for the mode (like with Nemesis Draft) would help. The problem, in this case, is with people dodging partly. It's random, you might not get an amazing champion. If players are more likely to dodge so they can game the RNG, then there should just be a stronger dodge penalty (perhaps have it's own punishment timers seperate from other queue penalties, or a straight up ban from the mode for repeated dodges in a relatively short time).
Hyperiön1 votesUrf was stupid. The same champs were picked every single game. Aurf is just as stupid because it is still Urf so.
No flash no life1 votesWhile I personally agree with you, we need to acknowledge that, as others have mentioned, everyone has different favorites and may or may not find fun in what we consider fun. If I may add, though, you shouldn't compare urf with arurf; arurf is influenced by urf, they have similarities, but their nature is completely opposite and nothing alike.
It's good to have you share opinions, but as far as the featured game mode goes, just play it if u like it and leave it if you don't.
