URF is Fun! Monotony is not...

Let me get this out of the way - I love URF. I didn't play URF until this years URF and holy cow it's so much fun. I don't think I've had such good laughs with my League friends in a while.

What_ isn't_ fun... is fighting the same champions over and over again. First time I fought an "op" champion in URF (i.e. Fizz/Ekko/Wukong), I thought,

"Wow! We just got rekt better luck next time!"

But next time, it was the same "op" champions and the game after that it was still the same champions... and the cycle continued for 20+ games. I don't dare pick someone "sub-optimal" (i.e. Janna/Aurelion) because I know that I will without a doubt go 0/10 in lane against one of the URF gods.

I know you can't win all the time, but you shouldn't lose all the time because you're getting tryharded on by people picking the godly champions. I think URF would be much more enjoyable as a random pick like ARAM (including trades). There would be a lot more variety in games and a lot less tryhards.

tl;dr

URF is fun. Playing against/with same 10 champions every game is not fun. Make URF random pick (probably next time it comes around).

Less toxicity, more variety, more fun. [slayer-jinx-catface]

P.S. I'm picking Janna. I'll tell you how it goes.

Random Urf would be indeed better. i hope riot tries it to see what happens one weekend.

What would be even cooler is a random urf where each team bans 1 champ from each side causing a reroll, so one tea

Agreed. Random URF Riot

Agreed wholeheartedly. Random pick URF would solve a lot of its problems.

I'm honestly not crazy about urf because I feel like I HAVE to play out of a certain pool of champions to get the most out of it.

Nemisis draft urf would also be fun

Agree, URF has less variety than LCS. My 3rd game today and 3rd game against Zedd and Fizz. But I can't ban them, because I have to keep bans for Sona, Galio and Eve/Maokai.

People are so toxic in URF its insane. You would think something so button mashing and fun oriented wouldnt be, but holy crap, i havent seen "Ez" so many times in my life. Then again maybe its because im playing with people in bronze and silver for the first time in ages, which are the people who usually bm.

urf is easily the most fun you can have in league, with that said, it clearly showcases people only care about picking what will win and not what they truly enjoy. Anyone will enjoy a champ who can 1 shot every other player while being immortal... why? because you are playing against others and it makes the player have a false sense of being better... think of it like social classes in life, people with more money are looked at as "better" at life, when realistically they are no different.

People only care about winning, nothing more

I wonder if it would be possible so you can't play the same champions in a row x number of times in URF. For instance, say you play Zed, after that game, you have a CD of either 1 day or 3 games before you can play Zed again in URF. This way, the system prevents you from spamming the same champ,l so you try other champions.

Someone made a post about making urf random picks or combining it with nemesis. Personally I would love to see nemesis urf. Just to see who the enemy team gives you and also to see if it backfires.

Give Jayce a whirl, having his E->Q combo up every 2 seconds really makes laning phase stupendously easy.

Renascent4/24/2016, 3:09:30 PM2 votes

And that is why for my last 20games I did not pick the same champion twice.

I wanted to play Chogath last URF game, because I thought the knockups would be super funny. And then I got into lane against Fizz ... who had a mobility spell up in time to dodge every single one of my spells, including my silence. It was a stupidly unfun lane. The only fun part of that game was one-shotting the enemy Evelynn each time she tried to sneak up on me. xD

I want to be able to play volibear in URF but his passive CD does not get reduced and the healing on it gets nuked. RIP that plan

This is exactly why urf is garbage. I don't know why people always say they want it back.

If it was random, then sure, it would be great. but MAN do I hate regular urf.

Yesterday I had to play against an urf premade. We banned of as many of the broken champions as we could (Eve, Fizz, Ekko).

Their team picked: Zed, Blitzcrank, Riven, Hecarim, Leblanc.

How is that supposed to be fun to play against in any way, shape, or form.

The champs are only a small part of the problem, the antifun squads taking them are the biggest. I dont mind going up against OP champs, I'll see the bans and pick what works best with the OP's left. I 2v1'd just now with morgana (because we had a jungler on our team....???) against a jax and a teemo and got 5 double kills in lane.

The problem is once everyone starts breaking off from laning and starts teamfighting (which I think is the most fun in this gamemode), the tryhards with OP champs ACTUALLY SPLITPUSH.

I mean, what the fuck is up with that? I have lost 6 games so far to splitpushers. GO PLAY NORMALS IF YOU WANNA SPLITPUSH! DONT END THE GAME AT 20 MINUTES! AND FFS, GO AND HAVE SOME FUN!

See what your champ is able to do in a 2v1, a 3v1, a 4v1. Try to outplay your opponents, try to FUCKING HAVE FUN!

As you can clearly see, I'm done with this gamemode. I'm tired of seeing a jax walk up a sidelane and burst a turret in 10 seconds to 'win the game'. I don't mind losing, I mind losing to little bitches.

why not one for all urf???

Then people would dodge if they didn't get a champion they liked...

And you'd still have the gods as a possibility to play against while you were random'd as a sub-optimal champion. I feel like it should be a champion - champion fix rather than something like this.
