URF AND ARURF Suggestion that could make riot a fortune while making the League community HAPPY!!!!!

Sir Tripsta·8/26/2017, 10:26:52 PM·1 votes·455 views

I, and many of the people whose threads I've read, THOROUGHLY enjoy the URF and ARURF game modes! I would like to know why these modes are not permanently available, as they are EXTREMELY popular and personally my FAVORITE modes!!! My opinion of URF and ARURF may not be of much significance in the big picture, but I know my opinions are shared with MANY, MANY of my peers, my fellow summoners! I am speaking on behalf of the MANY people I KNOW agree with me. If there is some monetary reason why URF is not permanently available, I have a suggestion for you (The Riot Team). Allow a monthly subscription fee to be paid which would grant the payee access to permanent URF OR ARURF servers. I would personally pay a monthly fee or even a one time fee which would allow me access to the URF or ARURF game modes permanently.

I have been playing LoL for years now. I just found out about URF around August 19th 2017. ( Since I started playing League 8-9 years ago, I stopped playing for years in between). I just started playing again regularly about a year ago and since then, I have not come close to having as much fun as I had during the 4-5 days I was able to play ARURF. I was laughing so hard at one point (during an ARURF match that was BEYOND fun) that I actually cried for about 5 minutes straight. In the ENTIRE time I've played LoL combined, I have not enjoyed the game more than the five or so days that I was able to play ARURF. I thoroughly looked forward to playing the next match and to return home to play again every one of those days that ARURF was available. In allowing me to play ARURF, you gave me the greatest enjoyment and possibly the GREATEST gaming experience I have EVER had in my life. (This means A LOT coming from a lifetime gamer).

In short, I beg that you allow us to play ARURF on a regular basis. If that request cannot be met, I implore you to take the time to explain to me WHY this wonderful game mode was removed. Possibly most importantly, i would be willing to pay BIG money to be able to play this way. I very, VERY rarely spend money on the non-essentials in life, and although you don't know me personally, this is a huge compliment that a cheapskate like myself would be more than willing to pay for ARURF. I know that this offer would be met well (if you were to offer a way to pay to play urf or arurf), because even I would pay for that, and I don't pay for entertainment easily. If someone like me would be willing to pay for this, I know you would definitely gain from this venture. Please PLEASE tell me what it would take to make this a reality. Please, PLEASE, at least explain to me if you truly believe that it cannot be a reality, why it can't be so.

You have shown me, given me, something I truly loved and I am desperate for you to work with us, (because I know I don't stand alone here) to provide us (your loyal supporters) with something we truly want. THANK YOU, for taking the time to read through this; I SINCERELY appreciate it. I thank you even more, if you take the time to respond to me. -Best, SirTripsta

People on these boards have hated AR URF, what are you smoking?

Permanent URF would kill the novelty. URF would become a 'secondary meta' of picks who are next-most viable after the top bans, and ARURF would be a lot of rerolling into high poke or CC. It's fun for the week or three because you get interesting scenarios where people are figuring out who does and doesn't work. But after that, everyone learns the meta pretty quick and it becomes stale. Even toward the end of ARURF just now, you could tell the cast was gradually narrowing as more and more champs went to 'reroll status.'

I'd cover the economic side of things but I think that much shit is going to want its own post. It might be better explained by someone more in-the-know. The short version is: image is everything, and 'free game' is very much an image you have to work very strongly to maintain.

I'd be happy if they actually rotated it like the other modes, I don't think riot would make it permanent since they still want their escort scene to be popular. I could see them doing it in a couple years tho when no one cares to watch lcs
