URF has always been my favorite gamemode, but Riot seems to have a hatred for it.

They'll probably wait until the weekend before midterms in the fall semester...

I'd prefer hexakill in TT, or dominion. Whenever URF/ARUF rolls around it ends up becoming old fast as some champions are league above others and it ends up becoming a 1 sided bloodbath. With URF you see the same 20 champs picked because of the established meta, and with ARURF you pray the other team doesn't have zed/eve/wukong etc while your team is stuck with randoms pick like Nunu or Yasuo. The mode itself was great when it first came out, but it just hasn't aged well.

Never had this problem or seen it either. Whatever I get I just spam what can be spammed and it usually never fails

Same. In general, URF is only disliked by people who have difficulty controlling their rage.

Urf or one for all and I'm happy, the dark star thresh one is pretty fun to, like an aggressive little mini game

URF/ARUF, Dark Star, One for All are very nice. Sometimes Poro King is a good break from the usual games. But I do want more diveristy and more often. "Fan favorites" are apprently Poro King and Ascension. If statistics actually proved that I'll be damned. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Even if Riot had such stats, they would be garbage. Most successful game outfits eventually reach a stage wherein every team mostly strives to confirm that they are doing everything right (instead of confronting shortcomings--much less admitting them to the players by adjusting their decision-making process). PK and Ascension get more Riot attention and more hype--and are simply available far more often.

The only game mode that has inspired players to set up petitions on Change.org that than went on to receive tens of thousands of signatures was URF. (If you go looking, you'll see that URF attracted similar attention in every region).

Honestly, I think URF threatens Riot's e-sports scene. Since being acquired by Tencent, their tight-lipped obstinacy in certain unpopular decisions has mostly benefited LoL e-sports.

Yet we'll never get a straight answer from Riot. RIP transparency as a company

Unless something changes dramatically about the way groups of humans manage the planet, "transparency as a company" is something everyone should demand but never believe has been delivered.

I mean that generally, not just as it applies to Riot. After all, there are whole professions, and associated areas of study, dedicated to convincing people not to demand transparency. Fanboyism in any other market is called brand loyalty. Loyalty from one person to another is a complicated phenomenon. Most of its use in the management of markets has amounted to what would be called abuse if it were done by people. Individuals who lie to the people who support them are not generally rewarded for that behavior. Individuals have limited incentive to engage in dishonest behavior repeatedly, since escaping a reputation is costly (financially, personally). The risk for most big companies in that behavior is negligible; besides being unmoved by emotion, their identities are flexible, they have less dependence on each person involved (Riot's friends list is millions of names long), and the balance of power is in their favor (a corporation has to do something seriously evil to motivate ordinary people to feel offended enough to take action all at once; even if 60% of the playerbase were unsatisfied, Riot would have no reason to worry).

While I wouldn't mind URF/ARURF every once in a while just to mix up the rotation, I'm not a fan of the mode. No one particular reason, just not my cup of tea.

April First as it should stay.

We haven't had it in April the last 2 years what makes you think that's the day for it? Just because it came out in April as an April Fools joke?
