Ask Riot: Poro King Again? - Nexus - League of Legends

Does anyone know the reason why they always deny having URF? I have asked this before why it should be on April Fools still, but then people said RGM (rotating game mode). But it never ever, or at least rarely shows up at all. In the response they said they tried very hard to not include URF throughout the entire paragraph. Ascension and Poro King is certainly getting boring at least put in One for All and Hexakill a bit more (idc about hexakill that much) or Black Market Brawlers. Also ARURF is pretty bad, we could at least have the new 10 ban system put into just normal URF so not everyone try hards with the same champs. Even One for All with URF combined would sick (banning some champs obviously). Also they have said that, "We’ve also been steadily building new client compatibility for the more successful older RGM modes" even though URF has been tested on the new client.

So someone please tell me why riot do this, or riot employees themselves :/. You're denying one of the best game modes you guys have ever made. Its rather depressingitem 3073

Having a change sometimes isnt always bad lmao

For starters, Riot needs to integrate all the featured game modes into the new client. That's the main reason we've been stuck on Poro King and Ascension so much. Though now we've also got blood moon and dark star, too.

On top of that, URF has historically had one of the sharpest declines in participation of any game mode. That's a large part of why they switched it up to ARURF (it's a bit of a band-aid for the problems with the mode). I would guess ARURF probably has a lower initial spike of players, but might actually hold player's interest for longer than normal URF ever did.

URF is something best served as a rare treat. I'm all for them bringing it out a couple times a year since there are some people who enjoy it. But I'm okay with longer delays on the return of URF if it means the team is working on more amazing modes like Dark Star (the actual best game mode they've ever made). Though I would enjoy TT: Hexakill finding its way back into the rotation soon, too.

Why the hate on AR URF? I loved that mode, and played it even more than URF, although I think that some players including myself may have ideas for even better solutions to the problems of classic URF.

I would gladly take any kind of URF at all though, and at a MUCH higher rate than it's been in the RGM. Heck, I might even start spending money on this game if that would bring back URF... XD
