i mean, at least we get skins. for once riot made something not money hungry cough emotes cough and still better than last arurf, as it doesnt include some of the most op champions, and doesnt include some of the most up champions, so its a bit more balanced.

I still dont think its good, but its better than last arurf :c

The way they pitched it makes it look like the gamemode will only be a one-time deal. And it did genuinely pull out a conclusion that Riot can make champions available even if unowned. Take this and the Mark/Dash spell back to another version and in the end this was actually a good experimentation.

Also this sorta buys time on how to nerf or gut Zoe some more before she actually gets URF testing.

?? I haven't played a single champion I don't own yet. I can't even trade. I just wanna URF Volibear :(

I don't own Sivir and she's not on Free Rotation this week. And that was my most recent game. So...working as intended.

Dunno how that happened, cuz i definitely can't play non-owned champs.

Maybe you already own the pool for it?

Or they just haven't come up yet?

I've played atleast 15+ games now (Already played a few champs twice). Nothin. And whenever I see a champ I don't own I can't trade with my teammates for it.

seeing the same champions allot isn't very fun to me

I like it. Having tons of fun on it. Dunno why everyone is so salty, I love the snowball.

My only issue is that not only is the champion pool limited it's also limited to champions you own.

So for people like me who only own ~40% of the roster that's further cut down by the "winter skins only" thing by like another 60%, I'm stuck playing the same few champions.

People are just complaining because they can't play normal URF and abuse champions and just destroy other's chance of having fun. Their joy is abusing players as if they were bots. That and people are coming to the realization that URF was fun the first time but it get's old. Even with the old URF back people will just post about i know realized urf isn't that fun.

My joy is playing KogMaw, reaching 6, and doing nothing but ult for the rest of the game. That's what I want out of URF. And maybe play Fast Jhin

But lucky me, I haven't gotten to play Kog once since ARURF was introduced. Meanwhile I just get given champs I don't want to play. Like Nunu vs a whole mage teamcomp

some of the matchups are quite terrible. I didn't get nunu but i had gnar which is a little better but still of no use.

You're not the only one. People are just more prone to saying something they dislike than like.

They let you use winter skins, guess why? Not to sell them? :D

well people aren't going to come to the boards to say how much they love it; but they will to complain.

I think it's fine.

Honetly, it's quite okay. I have fun with the mode, BUT STILL compared to original URF and first ARURF it feels just worse. You say that most op champs are out, but we still have Kassadin Ezreal Jax and Irelia . Overall if I had to choose, I would pick URF over the other 2. Especially with 10 ban system.

Kass can be shut down with the right enemy team, but goddamn Jax is an unstoppable monster, and we all know how broken Ezreal is right now.

money hungry? w0t?

I think it's still fun but Riot kind of contradicted itself on this one. They got rid of urf because people would always choose the same champions, and then they limit the champion pool so you always see the same champions...

On the same team...you pretty much lose :P

Ez and Ashe aren't even that crazy here.

Shaco Fizz Maokai Jax

Any combination of these on the same team, and you pretty much lose. The Ez and Ashe get absolutely shit on by these guys.

Speaking about Shaco, what do you recommend for URF? Going AD/lethality or full AP?

Full AP always used to be the go-to for Shaco on URF, due to his boxes, and his E. However, there were two significant nerfs to Shaco. The one was a URF exclusive nerf that limited his boxes to only 6. The other is not exactly a nerf overall, but was a nerf to AP Shaco: his E does physical damage now. This means it doesn't work with magic pen.

I played Shaco yesterday, and even though I built full AP (with item 3136 anditem 3020 as magic penetration items) when I was looking at my damage chart, I did almost as much physical damage as I did magic damage, with the physical damage amount being a tiny bit higher.

This made me think if going AP is now viable on URF, or if it was better to go AD/lethality and spam his E.

Dusk is still the most op item in the game, and Ghost Blade's cd is so short that it's almost mandatory. After those 2 items, you could pretty much go anything you want.

Maokai is really the only one without counterplay in my opinion. If you dont have a teemo or a jax, good luck killing maokai

If they took out the edge cases it might be decent. Its just no fun when they get Malph and Sona and we get Shen and Singed

The Venn Diagram of people who take the time to come to the boards and make posts and people deeply frustrated with something about the game is visually indistinguishable from a circle without an electron tunneling microscope.

If people are happy with the game, they're probably playing it.

That's why Riot can seem super out of touch - "Everyone" (read: everyone making posts on the boards about it) clearly agrees that Yasuo should be reclassified from a champion to a war crime and deleted from the game, and that anyone that has ever played him should be tried in international courts, and yet somehow he's still in the game, he's not even banned all that much, and a lot of people seem to actually win games against him from time to time.

so its a bit more balanced.

That's my main issue. Too many limitations.
