Why URF sucks now rant :^)
I know there are a lot of these post. But I'm just going to tack on too, because it's becoming more and more apparent that Riot just does not care.
URF has been completely ruined, and KEEPS getting ruined. I swear they do it on purpose so people never want to play it again. Before this whole "all random" nonsense, URF was as balanced as it could be. Being able to ban out the champions who could essentially insta win the game by existing, and being able to pick those people yourself if they didn't. That's where the balance comes from. Being in control of whats happening before the game even starts. Everyone is on a level playing field of "i'll pick this insta win character, because they picked that one" It canceled out.
Now with it being "ALL" random, you don't get that luxury. Wins and losses are decided as soon as you get to loading screen. If you get a terrible team comp of people and the enemy has at least ONE good character, you're boned, 100%.
The addition of the cannon, was also a HUGE mistake. The death timers are SO small. Now everyone has essentially a free 5-20 second teleport until late game. The ability to be unable to punish silly play styles is just way too much. Just die, canon in, die , cannon in. Theres no punishment for this. You can't push the lane and get tower poke, until late game, which by then the match is already decided by who scales harder anyway.
URF is supposed to be a chaotic cluster F yes. But it was a BALANCED cluster F originally. Now it's just a "hope I get a good champion or I feed, or dodge" shit show.
And the other thing is, its not even ALL random. You can't honest to god tell me you think you are able to roll ANY champion in the game. I've played about 40-50 games so far this run around, and have/gotten the same 40ish champions. I own EVERY champion in this game, why am I rolling the same 20 of them? It isnt "all" random. And it never was either. From the very first time it was made All random, it was only a small pool of champs deemed obnoxious enough to get played. And thats just not right.
The addition of dragon giving you ALL the buffs as well, and baron giving both the baron buff and the rift herald, is also ridiculous. Any team that gets something like a heimer or zyra can easily solo these whenever they want. Giving their team full buffs? LIke hell nah.
Let us pick our own champions! Let us BAN! Take out the stupid ass cannon! And get rid of these ridiculous buff gains!
URF was fine before you started messing with it. NOBODY ASKED FOR THESE THINGS TO HAPPEN.
