Suggestion: Put URF in as a perm mode

HeeroTX··15 votes·6,504 views

I don't like URF. I haven't played (any version of) URF aside from a couple of games when it FIRST debuted. It's NOT my preferred style of game. But watching Rift Rivals I realized it is exactly what YOU (Riot) want.

Put URF back in as a perm game mode, right now. Why? Because then next year you can use it for Pro play, make THAT your new eSport. It's what you want, fast, high kill games. And then all the low attention span morons can "oo" and "ah" at all the wild and wacky kills that get bursted out and you can STOP trying to make the TACTICAL game that LoL was originally supposed to be into some kinda Team Deathmatch just because a lot of your viewers don't want to watch 20 mins of farming.

Hell, if you're worried that it's "too much, too fast", then try this next season: Instead of "Best-of-1", the regular season is 1 Round of URF, and then 2 "normal" games where each team gets a chance to pick their side.

But seriously, I really enjoyed playing this game once. I've stopped because of all the recent changes. Please, give me back the game I loved playing, and give yourselves URF so you can have the viewing experience you WANT.

I had a 10 minute queue on urf today just to lose in 15 minutes because they had zed garen sivir malphite and we had not even one op champion

if we dont get the freedom to pick what we want its going to be as dead as twisted treeline

on the other hand if if you make it free to pick you will see the same 10 OP champions every game and anyone who doesn't pick the top OP champion because they want to try something fun will get curbstomped so free pick would only make matters worse.

Yeah, but allow bans. Sometimes I'm in the loading screen like "here we go, 15 minutes lost" because the enemy team has Fizz Tryndamere Garen MasterYi and we have Urgot Corki Yasuo (true story sadly) and as hard as we can try, even if 15 kills ahead we won't be able to do shit because their team will just stomp us whatever we're doing. I know it's URF, but it's not fun starting a game knowing you won't have fun at all because you got a boring, shitty champion when the enemy can roll on you easily

bans won't solve the problem, if we use the draft system we can ban anywhere between 5 and 10 champs(double bans possible) which means we will simply see the next 5/10 OP champions every single game, when URF first came out riot banned like 20 champions so 5/10 is no way near enough.

also to me this system is better, why? because I liek to try random fun stuff, AP rek`sai, maximum ms rammus, AP miss fortune, AD maokai, what would happen if urf was draft pick? I'd lose 10/10 times because I'd be facing the most OP picks every game, now however it's 50/50 basically

Well so at least make it truly random. I own Karthus Diana Gragas Syndra and only rolled Gragas twice. The others, I've never rolled them, not kidding. While I see Xayah Rakan Tryndamere MasterYi every single game without exception. It would be really unlucky having played over 50 games and haven't rolled Karthus even once

''ar'' urf isnt random at all tbh. I've noticed quite often that there are always the same champions (especially fiddle, yi, malphite, wukong and blitz) while i only played kindred for once item 3070

How did you manage to get a 10 minute URF queue? My longest URF queue has been like 15 sec with an average closer to 5 sec.

Dominion is a better choice than urf for a fast, high paced game. Plus it looks like fun

Supposedly Dominion was never popular though. It'd be an interesting choice for eSports though, isn't it basically the exact same gameplay as one of the primary Overwatch modes?

I've recorded 42 games of me playing arurf on my lvl 41 account which has about 90% of the champions unlocked.

Blitzcrank MasterYi Nidalee seen 8 times Jinx KaynJayce Malphite Rammus Xayah Maokai Ahri seen 7 times Garen Fizz Lux Syndra Ezreal seen 6 times Leblanc Teemo Morgana Janna Nasus Akali Jax TwistedFate Malzahar Varus Velkoz Taliyah Graves seen 5 times Karthus Alistar Irelia Kindred Vladimir MissFortune Lulu Shaco Rakan Anivia XinZhao Lucian Ashe Kassadin Kayle DrMundo Tryndamere Gangplank Renekton Quinn Nautilus Galio Zed Gragas Nocturne Yasuo seen 4 times Evelynn Poppy TahmKench Zyra Udyr Singed Annie Fiddlesticks Thresh Riven Xerath MonkeyKing Sivir KogMaw Pantheon Urgot Kaisa Kennen Khazix Heimerdinger Veigar Katarina Diana Orianna Amumu seen 3 times Zilean LeeSin Lissandra Bard Fiora Talon Shen Ornn Tristana Trundle JarvanIV Illaoi Shyvana Cassiopeia Ziggs Azir Gnar Hecarim Pyke Viktor Darius Rengar Brand Warwick Ekko seen 2 times all other champions seen 1 time or 0

now this is just my own personal experience and 42 isn't a very large statistic but I found it interesting to keep track of, blitzcrank which isn't that strong does get seen allot, same with nidalee, yi also gets seen allot though he is 450 IP so no doubt allot of people own him.

anyways from my result my games haven't been that bad, it's just that even getting 1 certain champion on the enemy team can ruin it for you, for example if the enemy gets fizz or vladimir, even if their other champions are shit, it could ruin the game for you because it's just infuriating and obnoxious to deal with them.
