It's time to put away URF.

Unfortunate conclusion, but I'm beginning to think the pain-points attached to keeping Ultra Rapid Fire are beginning to outweigh the pain of avoiding it for all parties (and departments) involved. It was a great game mode when the game was young. As of now, it's merely a former shadow of its original glory in all versions and only makes us really want what we cannot have.

Perhaps it could be replaced with an alternative type of wtf-mode. Or maybe it can be replaced with something entirely new that beats the wtf/urf experience. Either way though, I honestly feel as though this version of URF has worn itself out.

Urf is just one huge battle of people who are sick of seeing Zeds, Shacos and Sonas constantly vs people who want to pick those champs. Because it's the only answer I can make to why despite people asking for All Random Urf, suddenly when it was released, out of nowhere appeared people who say ARURF is sht. Now, of course snow battle ARURF is complete joke, but right now, no matter in which itteration Riot releases URF, people will btch about it. It's just like some people who played URF in s4 say: the mode was fun for first 2 days. Then, people figured out which champs are most OP and that was death of this mode.

URF might be the biggest reason in this game to btch about: when it's not live, people will btch how it wasn't live for billion years already. When it's live in reguar variant, people will btch about Zeds and Shacos, when it's live in all random variant, people will btch how they can't play champs they wanna play (probably Zeds and Shacos). I'm just gonna say this: you don't like it? Then shut the f*ck up and don't play it while others enjoy.

It could be replaced by something that contains the same core features and executed better.

Instead:

LEGENDS Mode:

Start the game at level 3 with 1400 Gold.

All cooldown purchased from items are doubled. CDR Limit increased to double. Mana/Energy Regeneration increased by 1000%. No Champion Level Cap.

This is just an idea put together in 30 seconds (probably not even well, but the point is there).

I want a WTF style mode, but I just don't agree with how our current WTF mode (URF) is panning out.

I think we all need a mode where we can just forget about logic like what urf used to be, you just picked some random champ played it totally wrong but it still worked, but now it's just become target of btchng so lets just drop urf and think of a s new WTF mode/way to relax. And we can switch now and again so people don't get so annoyed and create thousands of disscusions on something rito won't change any time soon.

I don't think urf is that bad right now. What don't you like about it?

Limited Champion pool.

Enforced rune selections.

Enforced Summoner Spell selection.

The whole experience seems tailored to provide a fraction of the URF experience in a manner that makes the experience become stale quite quickly.

I suggest not giving away too much free power, such as automatically giving everyone 80% CDR. Why not just make the CDR Cap 80% and double the CDR recieved from all sources? This would make CDR benefits from all sources worth managing (the way all Attack Speed bonuses appear to be doubled from all sources.)

How Tryndamere's King Tryndamere skin is considered a snow-theme skinned raises another point for me. Granted, not everyone has a snow-themed skin, but I would hardly call "King Tryndamere" snow-themed as much as I would call it Slavic Medieval themed. Why not allow others who seemed dressed for the cold conditions parttake in the fun too?

Or is it because of the balance issue? If not, it makes no sense why Legend of the Poro King did not have the same limitations to the champion pool (unless you consider that we are able to Choose champions in that mode, in which case the arguement about limiting champion pools in URF is due to balance issues bringing the idea of this thread further into the light).

URF needs a rework or really needs to be seldom: making cameo appearances for events like this.
