Why Does Riot Ruin everything?

URF used to be fun and enjoyable but then they had to throw in a random mechanic to just shit on one of the few things I still had fun with. In just this rotation I played 90+ games of URF trying to get that one champion I want to play. Excited I finally got Darius but then Dropped into game low and behold Im facing Teemo..... Great now my abilities are useless and the game is ruined Thanks Riot I just wanted to have fun but I guess that's to much to ask from you since you're entire department is having fun only balancing things for the professional league. Casually this game used to be fun and brain dead to just play while talking to friends but they ruined that. And now you can't even enjoy URF anymore this is fabulous.

What did you say here that couldn't be said about normal URF?

The Randomization to pick characters you want to play and experiment with high cool downs instead of picking a random name out of a hat you may never enjoy. Like I said above it took me 90 or so games just to get the single character I wanted for this experience then it was ruined by another random chance.

I more so meant, what is stopping people from just spam picking Teemo in normal URF?

URF is a good idea on paper and terrible in practice. If it worked in practice, riot would probably make it a regular mode due to its popularity.

I think URF is garbage in general. Even if it was Draft Pick, you'd just get people picking damage casters like Brand, Syndra, Lucian etc. It would still be coin toss fun. I think part of the reason is all the damage runes in the game now, URF used to be about outplaying with fast reactions but now you just get 1 combo'd or overly oppressive ranged champs that force you to play safe in a game mode that's supposed to be fun and engaging

Well see that's not entirely true for some groups of people or maybe a single person in particular they might want to just test boundaries with some characters over other rather than just handed a random assortment of champions. Like for example having a team pick Thresh, Blitzcrank, Volibear, Singed and Tahm would be a funny thing to see how far back you can pull an enemy. while this might not be broken cause It's a single focus chain it would still cause laughs.
