ARURF Isn't Fun

All random urf makes me not want to play league of legends at all anymore, especially with the latest iteration where i cant even hope of getting a champ i want to play. I dont even want to play solely OP champs like jax or fizz or whatever, I'd just like to pick my damn champ. I'm not sure if it was a vocal majority that clamored for ARURF but having never posted or had an opinion on what direction the game should take for the game mode id like to have fun again playing it rather than rolling for champs that it is not weighted to give me. I'd rather be against 5 champs considered op or strong than lose the freedom that makes league of legends and urf fun. Even a rotation between random and not random would be fine to me, OR CUSTOM GAMEMODE URF WHILE ITS RUNNING? The latest ask riot on why they don't run it is laughable to me, show the data if that's why you made the decision. Don't just say it's there. I'm usually forgiving and make a serious effort to understand decisions by riot or other devs. I used to look forward to urf and play dozens maybe even close to a hundred games of it. Now my friends don't want to play it and anyone who does just gets frustrated because they are most likely playing something they dont want to, and the opposing team has powerful urf champs anyways since its weighted towards them. make TRUE random with ALL champions or make it original urf again for the love of fun. When urf comes up in the rotation it's more like a reminder of what is gone than an exciting return of the most fun gamemode in league of legends. Just one less reason to que up for a game that isn't ranked I guess. Good job consolidating the playerbase rito. Judging by the 3min+ que for urf when i have tried to play it, I would say its being played less so maybe its being successfully killed.

reddit posts saying urf should be random always got thousands of upvotes so now we're stuck with this crap

that's the point Riot wants it to not be fun so they don't lose their playerbase that quits after urf

You can thank Mr. Poro and other users who advocated All Random.

I chalk it up to the Nemesis Mode. Which even Riot hinted to in their own reddit post which they like to comment in more than their official forums (yet another problem with the company.)

Riot likes to say they always lost players after URF... that is because after the more favored URF mode was over no one wanted to play normal or ranked. URF queue times the first two iteration had queue times of 5 seconds throughout the time it was up. It was glorious.

Riot devs never liked the mode then and don't like it now it took away from their already terribly balanced normal game. At least they finally developed ARURF into something where they now have the excuse they were looking for to get rid of it.

Just another falling point about the game.

Right? Thank god I can queue up for other modes because ARURF isnt mandatory. Solved all my problems about new urf.

urf was never fun and told rito that super fast paced games are ok.

Remember, ita perfectly fine to get absolutely DESTROYED in champ select amd have no chance to do anything at all in game... but only of you had no choice in the matter!

So, it really is just like regular urf?

Just add the 10-ban system to champion select before picking blindly.

Problem solved #BringBackURF

AR URF isn't urf . Not sure if anyone saw their reasoning behind making a great game mode complete shit because 'of hangovers'. All it is now is like the ruins, depends on what the other team has selected will determine if you even have a chance at winning. They have a shen? Moa? Jax? if they even are slightly competent with them you fucking lose. Not a good game, waste of fucking time. Most people can't even play URF for the reasons they want to -see the champ they want go fucking nuts-. Instead we are left with an ARAM style bs system where most of the time you get a champ you don't like or even want to fucking play and have to play the RR system to possibly get someone that can do something, since there isn't viable fun champ, during a match (But if no one has it already on your team then you will just RR into whatever pool of lackluster champs the 'selected in their infinit wisdom')

EDIT: Wtf is their reason anyway for the hangover bullshit for losing 'veteran' players All Tencent gives a shit about is the sweet sweet american dollar they can pull out of Riots ass during any sale, skin, champ, or promotion. Bring back old URF and slap on some pay to play cosmetic things like icons or wards and the end.

Having random champions creates one sided games like Jax Trynd and Voli on one side . it's game over .
