well, im officially done with urf.

The Bard Dog··30 votes·3,068 views

so sick and tired of seeing the exact same op's get picked. nobody has any shame, and just wants to make the game as least fun as possible for everyone they're playing against. with 6 bans its awfully hard to ban the biggest offenders of urf, who surprise have severe balancing issues in regular games already.

Katarina Zed Leblanc Nidalee

its already not fun because everyone already has an idea of what's stupidly strong, and shamelessly spams it in order to win.

sorry zed ult spam isn't fun. leblanc w+r gib with no counterplay that's spammable isn't fun. nidalee throwing 500 spears in 2 seconds is not fun. there's nothing fun about this mode anymore for one reason, and one reason only.

_there are very few melees/immobile mages that are even slightly worth using in this mode with the exception ofFiora Jax MonkeyKing Lux Velkoz _

Mobility creep destroyed all of the fun urf COULD have been. because guess who the most op champs are in urf? the mobile ones.

Isn't this like the 5th thread you've made complaining about URF? If you don't like it, don't play it, for real. If you're tired of playing PvP, play vs. bots; I only played URF vs bots last year, it's still a ton of fun for just messing around with certain champions.

yea I'm already sick of it. I don't mind the "OP" champs though it does get old seeing the same ones over and over.

But the people in it are the biggest retards in the game. Last 3 games were nothing but dip sh its who dont' know how to play at all. In fact it's pretty much been 80% of the games I've been in I either Hard carry with 20+ kills and most dmg or we lose.

starting to think riot put me back or their "fu ck this guy list" since I'm still complaining about all their fu ck ups to support despite them not being able to do anything anyway.

I feel like you haven't heard, but URF is "fun game type". Don't rage so hard over something that is just for laughs. People who rage in the featured game types need to not play them. Ever.

Exactly. People are taking this likes its some diamond elo ranked shit. Its a gamemode, its not like you are forced to play it, its not riots mistake XD

Hate to break it to you but you're not that important and Riot and the rest of the community couldn't care less about you and your attitude.

URF isn't a standard game mode, it's very different and not everyone who is good at the regular mode will be able to adapt to URF. It's not ranked, so nobody cares if you "Hard carry" or not.

Get over yourself and do us all a favor and don't queue anymore until you can relax and realize it's just for fun.

LMAO, but you obviously think you are special.. aww how fun it is to laugh at the little fan boys with their unjustified superiority complex when they aren't even worth the air they breath despite it being recycled.

BTW, fanboy, you missed the point. the point was people are all try hard when it should be fun but I have to hard carry because people only pick the OP champs which means I have to pick an OP champ instead of any fun champ I want. Now I know I complain about my teammates But I want to be able to play some fun champs without having to be the one to carry every single time I want to win.

Get it fanboy or do I need to draw your retarded as s a picture in crayon? O and get over yourself dip sh it

MasterYi EvelynnAhri shit on Kat, Zed and Nidalee though.

I can see the argument for Yi, but Katarina gibs too hard once she hits 6.

BluePolarizer3 votes

She is squishy as fk and Ahri can simply ult out of her ult or point blank charm her and kill her.

Anything that requires getting into melee range of Yi or Eve, or can't handle them at melee range, just doesn't work.

Cindikle1 votes

I haven't seen a good Ahri yet. Sure she can spam her CC and kite for days. But her all in is somewhat weak IMO. And everything she does that is a threat is telegraphed.

But as I said, I just haven't seen a GOOD one yet.

BluePolarizer1 votes

Played against one as Yi and one as Hecarim. Both times couldn't do shit because if you get on her, she just dashes away and charms you, and you can never touch her. You can't run either. With the CDs she can even kite Yi

Cindikle1 votes

Then I have to ask, why did you chase? She's a great kiter. That's her thing now. It's like chasing Singed. Even if you have crazy mobility yourself, it's often worth it.

BluePolarizer1 votes

You can't really run from her either.

Its like playing fking Singed against Kalista. Permakited both backwards and forwards.

Cindikle1 votes

If she's catching up to you she either has her ult up or is throwing Q behind her to max the MS boost. If she's running into it after casting it at you, you should be able to get away with any champion that has some mobility. Since the mode has +60ms she's going to hit her orb and lose the MS.

A Miss Fortune2 votes

Just played like 6 games with Ahri.

All of them ended up with me getting fed and I could easily 1v5 the enemy team and did in their own base.

Ahri's really just the biggest offender in counter-fun in URF. It's not necessarily because of her damage but it's because of how much mobility she has and the fact she can spam charm you making it impossible to duel her.

I think most of my games I ended up dying after I flashed, but you can spam Q so much that after I die the ball returns to my dead body (and is still active until it returns to me) and I've gotten multiple double kills in lane because of this.

Cindikle1 votes

Nid I don't actually find that bad. Don't expect to killer her, but with the MS boost you shouldn't have too much trouble dodging.

Rest I can agree on that they should of had adjustments.

Also there are quite a few melee that are very viable. But you just cannot have a melee heavy team. And mobility isn't as big of an issue if you have enough CC.

Akali Alistar Annie Blitzcrank Diana Evelynn Galio Hecarim JarvanIV Kassadin KogMaw Leona Maokai Nautilus Rengar Riven Shaco Swain Syndra Vi Vladimir Warwick Zyra

These are all either melee or unmobile ranged. And are all good on URF. Some even more OP than Nid. I've seen more Annies carry games than I have Nid's.

Only seen two Zyra's (myself one), and both times she carried hard.

My last game I had a Swain beat down and pushed to his second tower before I started roaming. Once he got his ult he was even with me. Even though I could chunk his HP easily.

Shaco is one of the top 3 must bans.

Once Eve gets Ludens and a Lichbane she'll take 90% of almost anyone's HP with RQE.

Honestly Luden's alone is Op as hell on this mode. I saw Gailo go almost full tank with just Luden's. Between it doing a lot of damage and his self heal. He was almost unkillable. If it was just the heal and MR I could understand. But Luden's gave him so much burst with any ability hitting.

There is so much that is broken on this mode.

Seriously though. If you're scared of any of those 4 champions. Play Shaco. Build Luden's+Lichbane.

i actually play a different kind of shaco. ill rush a item 3512 and a item 3060 . these items are so fun. ap is fun, but building and play these are so fun. you wont go 23/1/3, but i have more fun with this build than straight ap, and why excactly is shaco a ban? pick wards bro, pink wards

Cindikle1 votes

Luden's + Lichbane. It's not even about the stealth. It's about the mobility and burst and he pull off.

But I do need to try those items one of these days. I keep hearing Zz'Rot is OP as hell

its not "op" but it is strong. thats the thing, hes bursty, but usually squishy. my zzrot build with banner makes sure you dont get oneshotted, and has WAY better objective control in my opinion. wanna go 23/4/0 as shaco? go ahead, but getting pentakills doesnt win the games, destroying the nexus does. killing is just a means to an end. like i said. ap shaco is fun, but gets old for me, really quickly. think luden's. lcihbane is op? try doing that to a chogath, youll get eaten before you can do the worm

Cindikle1 votes

Having a cast time on his Q hurts it's spamability as well as his mobility. His AoE doesn't really change much. His wall is avoidable with everyone having a 60s flash.

All he really has is his ulti. Which has a longer cooldown than BV. If the enemy has heal or shields they can easily absorb it. And there's always Hourglass. Which is usually on at a minimum 2 champions in the game. It just has a lot of counterplay in URF.

I tried Morde thinking he would be fun, but I was against a Zed + Shaco lane, with a Sona and EZ other places, I couldn't do anything. By the time I had items enough to not insta die, they were 4 levels ahead of everyone.

Zed and LeBlanc I also think are ridiculous, but Nidalee and Katarina aren't problems at all. Katarina I think is actually not too strong because she can never get a good ultimate because your hard CC is always up and everyone will instagib her.

Of course there are going to be some champs that are OP, but on this mode EVERYONE is op. You can't possibly say Zed and LeBlanc are ridiculous when there are so many other absolutely ridiculous champs on this map, like AP Kog'Maw or Twisted Fate that poke you from ranges that you can't engage you from or champs like Hecarim and Skarner that can burst you down while building almost full tank.

Orianna has a spammable speed boost

Quinn has vault and ult

Ryze has ult

Vayne has tumble and ult passive

Vlad has pool

Blitz has a spammable speed boost

Auryiel1 votes

Only thing I think is really, really unfun in URF is perma stealth champs and those that can tank just way too much shit (cough Galio cough)

Other than that, everyone feels OP at something, so yeah...

Take Lulu for example

Perma speed combined with a barrage of targeted damage

Sure, Zed might be hard to deal with, but against Lulu he becomes a non factor

Nid's spears are easier to dodge than ever with the bonus MS, just shove the lane and use your minions as shields. She can't shove unless she goes in cougar form and then you can engage on her

LeBlanc can be crushed by long range poke (have you tried AP Kog? LMFAO) She can't dodge everything and eventually you force her to use her W to dodge your shit instead of engaging on you

Every champ has its counter, you just gottal roll the dice and enjoy 15-20 minutes of doing something completely stupid, whether you win or not

Urdnot Entar1 votes

Yeah, Riot needs to issue a few permabans like they did last time. Some contenders: Shaco Katarina Sona

A Miss Fortune1 votes

Ahri is honestly the most overpowered champion in URF. I've played a couple of games with her and totally dominated it. Being able to spam her Q, W, and E every second makes you impossible to duel as long as you can kite but it's only worse when she hits 6 because you'll never be able to catch her and it's easy for you to 1v5 the entire enemy team. She can nuke Baron, Dragon, Minions, or Monsters constantly and with her passive and a Spellvamp item she won't ever die.

I don't think champions should often be banned from URF for being overpowered, but the champions that kill the fun for everyone else should be just slightly modified.

Arch Mage Magnus1 votes

TwistedFate is a HUGE menace. I think I've only lost 1 game with him out of at least 7. Stuns and CC are king in urf mode, and TF gets that coupled with a shit ton of damage and a "OH SHIT" get out of here ult. And spamming Q all game.... most champs can't even get close to you in lane.

DEmperor951 votes

I honestly do not care about winning or losing. But I wanna have fun; I just don't want to be steamrolled and constantly die every single game because I'm up against someone playing Katarina Zed Shaco Ezreal and some others every single game. This is not fun, it's fruatrating, so yeah I know exactly how it feels.

LegitBacon661 votes

Sorry you aren't able to fight these champions. A lot of people can destroy these champions. You can out push the towers as a team if you can't win in kills. I find it easy to destory any of these champions with like a blitz, azir, alistar.

Also you know why everyone plays those champions? Its too fun to spam even more than you can. Yeah its annoying, but thats why urf isn't permanant. No one asked you to play it. A lot of people wanted it back, but have the same issues with Zed katarina nidalee and le blanc
