SoloQ will end up to be URF at some point.

Since the first URF a lot of things has changed in soloq. Better cdr items for every class (except adc, but even them has ER) that is pretty much mandatory to build otherwise you won't do anything, the passive gold generations has increased, the runes deal more damage, the wave clear is at an all time high, nobody has mana problems anymore(there are very few exceptions until first item). The jungle is pretty much run around because the camps spawn so slow, the support has almost just as much gold as the others.

Not to mention everyone one shooting everyone like is nothing because the damage is so high.

Little by little the game will end up as URF where we will bash our heads against each other and call it "skill"

Btw, URF has been released in april 2014.

I've been saying this for years. URF had the best reaction from a new game mode since the original League existed, and naturally the devs have gone "oh, maybe this is a thing". Other popular games like fortnite play more similarly to URF than SR too.

However, here is where Riot have gone wrong IMO. Sure, it may be more suitable to the Asian market too, with the internet Cafes etc. But rather than creating a seperate game mode (almost like a toned down URF), they have actually gone about changing League to be more like URF.

The result is CDR everywhere, CDR on ults (presence of mind), higher movement speeds and mobility, more flashy abilities, higher burst and shorter games.

I hate it to be honest. Season 4, for me, was the peak of League - and that is by no coincidence roughly when URF was released.

We have moved away from a tactical, even strategical game from a SoloQ perspective into a reaction/mechanic based game with some teamfighting added on at the end of laning before the game ends. If I wanted this kind of experience I would play a shoot em up.

You want to know what's ironic, though? The original tagline for the April's Fools game-mode that is URF - "The future of League of Legends".
