Deep discussion on arurf (and suggestions! give yours too if you like)
DISCLAIMER: This is an opinion and should further be treathed as so. i will respect your opinion if you respect mine, please just dont come into this threath to flame. Also, this is more than just a rito please: an indept look at arurf, why people dont like it, and how to change it, in a way good for riot and good for the players. Also, sorry for my english, you will see furstrared misspelled a lot of times^^. I will also keep editing this post to update it, and if it gets enough atention, i might create a new one with all of the most voted ideas (link will be on this one). Not bothering you more, for now :3
**ARURF RIGHT NOW**
So as we all know, many of us are not happy with arurf right now. This is for the following reasons.
1- Urf used to be a huge clusterf*ck, and that was ok for many, as long as they could spend a great time smashing their keyboard with their favorite champion, champion balance didnt matter, and it still doesnt (in urf). So making ir ''all radom'' ( and we will get into that later) just takes some of the fun aweay because you can play your favorite champion.
2- Having no controll over who you get is kinda lame in a fun-based mode. The thing with all random is that you dont have the power to chose, and thats what frurstrates a lot of the comunity. Because, after all, we like power to chose, just look at how many democracys we have today.
3- The ''''all random'''' is a joke, as it provides (not entering in detail cus this will already be too long) stronger champions on one team than the other. Also note im not blaming riot for this, of course a complete random system wont give the same amout of op champs to one team and the other, creating something that is both unbalanced, and uncontrollable. Note that, the uncontrolable part is what is anoying. In normal urf, the games would be unbalanced, but at least you could think ''the game might be unbalanced, but so is my champion'', and you would feel that the unbalance wouldnt matter cus you are playing your beloved katarina and having a great time. In this mode, this type of unbalanced is not healty, as you cant feel the game is unbalanced because you want to, you only feel the game is unbalanced due to something beyond your controll. And thats what furstrates.
**SOME WAYS TO CHANGE THIS**
This is a compilation of my ideas and some i've read on riot's arurf posts. Also, im not saying some are better than others, just putting the ones i remember on here so we can discuss this. I might end up putting some more as i remember more, or you down there suggest it. Also note, we are trying to make the champion pool diverse as riot wants, but also giving us the power to chose our champions.
1- Two bans per person. This would make the champion pool more diverse,as riot wants, and you could still chose, as we want (credit to Green Boy Mon)
2- Make two separate queues for urf. This idea is divided on two parts: URF and ARURF queues, or two queues based on op champions and up champions. The second one might be a bit more complicated than urf and arurf queue,and it has many variations. so i'll explain. Also, before the explenation, note that urf atracts many many people, so queue times shouldnt be a problem with 2 queues. Also note this ideas have been spreading so i dont know the original user
So, as a comunity, and riot themselves, we know whats most op in urf, and some there are some lists with champions separared by tiers (on urf of course). We as a comunity and riot could work together to put up a list of chamion tiers and separate one queue with tier s and a and other queue with tiers bellow those. The other variation is: riot would give us some time with standard ol' urf. The most banned/overused champions would go to a separate queue where it would be broken as fuck. For those who like to break the meta, you have the queue of champions rarely or never picked, where there are ONLY rarely or never picked champions. One of the reasons arurf is bad is because it mixes op champions with up champions, creating a massive unbalance beyond your control. This type of solution would solve that. Note that, if a champion looks underpowered on the OP queue it can be changed, and vice versa.
3- This is kind of a personal half baked one. You get to chose between X number of champions (which ill refer to x=3 to make it simple). Between those 3 champions, you could chose one. You would still (huge maybe?) have the rerolls, less or more often (half baked idea as i said), so you could re-roll either the 3 champions you got or only one (i really need some help on this one). Also, stronger champions would have less % to make it to the 3 champions on the list, while underpowered champions would be more likely to. This would make the champions diverse, but we could still chose between those 3 which champion we wanted (still rng, but a little bit better!) Credits go to RaikoPlays :3.
4-Riot bring us ol' urf back!1!! riot doesnt seem to want it, so its out of the way.
**EDITS?**
Im pretty sure nobody will give a f*ck about this post, but ill just leave this here^^ please tell me what you think, its important. Good luck on the rift today! [slayer-jinx-catface]
