Riot, why do you hate URF?

You think I haven't noticed that you've rotated Poro King, Acension, Definitely Not Dominion and other boring game modes multiple times without giving me URF? Wrong. I've noticed.

What do you have against URF? Are you afraid that it makes the game too much fun? That no one wants to play on the Rift for awhile after they've felt the power of URF?

Damn you Riot. Damn you and your inclinations to keep the drug that is URF away from me. I don't need an intervention. I need another fix.

Sincerely, Kinetika

After a few games of urf I usually want to go back to normals, personally. While it's fun, people take it far too seriously, and you just go against the same couple of champions that are frustrating to play against every game, only occasionally seeing someone get into the spirit and try something that's not "meta".

God I feel like urf is so over rated. I hate trying to survive against the same champs every game spamming there abilities under tower 24/7.

Not only are the people who play it too serious and toxic, but so is the game play itself toxic and unhealthy.

It's unhealthy and brings 0 real satisfaction when you win, only "instant gratification", which is literally exactly what's wrong with a lot of modern gaming. And the reason why 90% of people who play it, can only stand a handful of games of it. That on top of it's own massive balance issues, make for a bad overall experience for most of the population. Even if they think they want more of it.

Something tells me Riot at least 'somewhat' understands this, and (thankfully) never intends on bringing Urf in permanently, or more often.

I don't know why some of you just specificating ezreal... -.-' have you ever tried other champs ? there is a big champion pool of good champs in urf, simple you don't like it as you don't know how to play it. Best game mode ever. just see votes ;)

Riot probably knows URF can quickly become a gametype where only the most OP champions get played to win forcing others not to pick other champions to make sure they won't lose horrendously.

Some saying its toxic 0% satisfaction,some saying little op champs in that mode. Some even knows what riot thinks and don't put this mode -.-'. Am not saying put that mode permanently ive even seen a petition for that but atleast once 1 month would be great for everyone who like it, and those who don't just go for normals as simple as that, i don't even see why some people are arguing. Either you like it or not, if not go play pokemon go. In my case whenever there is u.r.f Everyone is online and "in game".

They literally said Urf would only be back 2 times this year. Learn to read mate.

I was on a thread elsewhere where a Rioter was discussing featured game modes and stated that a few were new and in the works, and a few others had returned to the drawing room table because they needed work done to them because a few were starting to get extremely stale each time they returned. He stated that they were working on new twists and fixes for these modes to keep them fresh. I do believe he meant URF, since URF develops a Meta really fast that sucks the fun out of the game mode.
