Urf doesn't work.

Jbels··4 votes·404 views

Not anymore, at least. Urf has entered into a vicious cycle in which people go in with expectations of getting to play something bonkers, get into a game where the enemy team gets 3 or more champions that feel like utter garbage to play against, suffer for a good 10 to 15 minutes, and then the game ends. If that didn't happen, chances are they were on the team that got the 3 or more awful to play against champions, leading to a boring stomp where nobody had fun because one team wasn't challenged at all, while the other faced too great of a challenge to stay invested.

Then after they think about these bad games, they start to think about why they weren't allowed to pick what they play. At least if they had a choice, they could fight fire with fire. But that leads to the next problem. If people have a choice in what they pick, they'll always pick the same broken garbage every game because that's what wins. This necessitates the randomizer.

Urf is broken on a fundamental level. It only works when choice is allowed, but without the choice to play the same thing every game. I suggest this; Remove the champion the player just won a game with from their selection pool for the next 5 games. This gives a buffer that stops the mode from being centralized around broken picks every game while still allowing choice (the most important thing to have)

And they're the reason it rotted in the first place, ironically

I resent that. I played it when it first came out. Enjoyed it for what it was and didn't give a damn about whether or not it came back.

Which is why you're one of the people who can look at the situation objectively and not mindlessly demand Urf. Not all of the OG Urf players are like what Zephyr describes

That does not mean that I neither am a reason it rotted nor like everyone who wants irresistible candy Christmas until their minds (and hands) fall off. URF is fine to me. It's players who make the posts about it that aren't.

i enjoy urf, but when you get a team of 5 supports vs 5 champs that can one shot it gets kinda eh. urf is great for trying new things or playing whatever, just rather not be forced to play nunu all the time ( ive gotten nunu in urf now 5 times )

urf is the last place where you would try new things, you will learn very little about the champion since you have no idea about what is actually good about said champion due to how bloated they get with the CD, costs and everything being essentially eliminated. 5 Supports vs 5 high damage targets? how are you losing that? You will have so much healing and shielding and CC power... it smells more of a "i don't know how to build properly for this mode" more than "we got 5 supports, they didn't" supports are one of the most broken classes in URF

i just used it as an example dude chill out, also healing and shields are nerfed on urf you do know that right? but anyways it seams like your freaking out alittle to much, also if i want to go full ap Nasus in urf then i can.

heals and shield are weakened yes but that doesn't stop you from spamming them for no cost whatsoever. You can build whatever you want in URF, doesn't make it right. Love it when people instantly say "chill dude" and stuff like that when you catch them on their BS

Randomized pick doesn't fix broken champion being played.

Siyther1 votes

yep urf is fun sometimes but the issue seems to be while your team gets random champs the enemy always has the broken ones played 20 games yesterday maybe 3 were wins. Moost of them were over b4 early surrender cause enemy had all the broken champs , every game. Also i see an issue that my sorry bronze ass is having to go against gold, plat. and even diamonds in this mode come on how in the heck am i supposed to have fun lmao. At this point they might as well just let us pick because the same 10 champs are being played anyway. PPl rr til they get something op or just flat out dodge.
