AURF is not really meant to be balanced

I am not sure why the AURF hate to be honest. I am a huuuuuuuge proponent of proper game balance. But AURF is literally a mode made for total chaos and just messing around. Riot should not focus resources on making it balanced. It is not possible. At most, maybe give out bans in the mode? But I am fine with a random mess of champions, even when my team feeds 0/9/0, 0/11/0, 0/10/0 and my duo is crushing a lane until all five come to us with 30 kills on them at the 10-12 minute mark. It is just fun to play and see what you can do with the crazy stuff you get. The last thing I would want is the "balance" team touching it. It would be horribly unplayable and all of the fun would be gone in about two days.

I would love a ban system in ARURF. There are some champions that seem to exist in every urf game.

Kind of proof that killing urf and replacing it with ARurf accomplished nothing.

Not really. All Random Urf is still much a much healthier and enjoyable game imo. Instead of the extreme broken champions 'seeming' like they are in every game they would actually be in every game otherwise. You'd be more or less forced to pick the meta in URF or be absolutely annihilated

Yeah.. I see all these complaints about it being unbalanced but like... I just could not care less. It is a completely for-fun mode. :) The moment they make competitive AURF with millions of dollars in cash prizes is the moment I want it balanced. And even more reason to keep the "balance" team out of it.

If anything, the only "balancing" i want done in URF is taking out the untargetable aspect of champions. Maokai Fizz just win the mode by themselves simply because they cannot be hit.

The number of post I've responded to saying the exact same thing

legit no one has a problem with the mode itself, it just needs a ban system because some champs are simply too cancerous, to even call it fun.

URF is supposed to not be balanced, it's not a competitive gamemode a single bit

Glory97Feb 2, 20191 votes

then are there other gamemodes that are meant to be balanced?

Well, if I had my way, the "balance" team would be fired and their salary given to the creative team... but yeah...

I'd say it needs bans. There's some ridiculous champions in that mode like Maokai, Hecarim, Leona, Vlad, to name a few. Hecarim is sort of funny though cause he just becomes a super speedy death machine. Maokai just never dies and still does damage while ccing you forever. Leona is a cc machine, also barely ever dies. Vlad barely dies after a certain point in the game if he plays and builds properly. There's some champs that this mode just outright breaks and it's not really fun, imo.

It's not the lack of balance that is the issue. It's literally the 'all random' aspect that makes games won or lost from champion select. Not to mention the pay to win element they added this time around.

easy solution make ARURF : Nemesis Draft Edition

see the same 10 champions each game. and watch the boards demand buff for those champions >:)

The random aspect ruined urf. People that want URF to be balanced are dumb because its not supposed to be balanced, the only thing it needs is a ban system.

i wanted to wait till urf is gone to reply but tbh i feel as if a ban system would make the game balanced enough or atleast spread the range of champion cause out the 100+ champs in the game i see the same rotation of 25 champs each couple games i literally played a game where there was a garen on the enemy team 5 games in a row you could believe the amount of "fun" i had and also dodges once u get a champ you like also felt great

Especially when they were going to close it in like 2 weeks anyway. People just don't understand the gamemode and babyrage when they can't counter play in a game that is literally suppose to break everyone

Also they go for the standard builds in urf instead of just random stuff because they keep forgetting that this isn't their bronze 2 solo q games.
