How is URF fun?

Seriously, am I missing something here? I see the same picks over and over with no way to actually counter them (fizz troll pole on a 2 second cooldown... what?), game are incredibly one sided as soon as the first towers fall and there are too many champions that become infuriating to play against when the thing gating them disappear. Of course the community ruins anything it touches by going full tryhard as well.

Why did you guys even whine for a whole year to get it back? It's becoming as much serious business as a ranked game at times.

Its fun because of the nature of it. A lot the "same picks" people complain about get banned anyway. I try to pick different champs every time as it spices up the experience for me. I don't care about other people's picks since I'm here to have fun and so are they. Sure there's salties, but that's to be expected in this era of League. Just ignore them as per usual and battle on the fields of justice. Or if you don't have fun with this particular mode, there are 3 others that are always available.

URF is supposed to be fun because it gets to be a ridiculous, comedic version of League of Legends. Nunu snowball fights, Tristana rocket jumping over everything just as a means of transport, Pick Lux: Lasers EVERYWHERE.

But I tried URF for the first time this year and it took about two games for me to "get it". It's a mode with even more games with those kinds of people. People picking Fizz, Zed, Hecarim, and the like because they just want to roflstomp others for their kicks.

It was kind of fun to keep stunning the TP Homeguard Hecarim though; so much salt in allchat I was able to cook a bass.

I don't like being "that guy" but...don't play it.

No need to whine about it. Plenty of people enjoy it, and I actually don't see the same picks every game as most of the "op" picks are banned.

I haven't see a Lux, Yi, LB, Ez, or Sona in like....10 or so games? Granted Sona has been banned, but regardless, it isn't near as bad as this kind of post tries to make it out to be.

I've been playing stuff like Urgot and Cait and having a blast. Haven't played one of the supposed "op" picks yet and I've won probably 75% of my games with 15+ kills even in loses.

Maybe have a better outlook op, and find champs you enjoy.
