First of all, im new to the league of legends forum so im not really sure if this is the right place for this.

I have one big question, why do we have arurf and not regular urf anymore? my biggest problem with this is that a lot of the time you are given a champ that isn't very good in urf or you must fight against someone who is completely unfun to fight such as ap xin, talon, or garen.

While i'm at it what happened to one for all and tower defense? Im assuming doom bots is locked away for events so I want even ask/

The same reason Urf has, until recently, been an april fools exclusive.

A Meta formed and dominated.

Urf is horribly balanced and certain champs dominate over others. Course, what I just said is plenty obvious. However, when the same few champs are played over and over again, and most of them can't be beaten because their counterplay has been removed due to the short cooldowns or infinite mana, that's when problems appear.

arurf is the bandaid solution, but an effective one nonetheless. As for why they don't balance it in a patch? Simple, because the game isn't a core gamemode and isn't worth balancing a mode that appears infrequently on weekends only. Any changes that happen will likely require a massive exploit being discovered like the ascension tank exploit.
