What would make ARURF great..

The community loves it until they remember why they stop playing the bloody game mode - getting shat on by every Fizz/Sion/Kayle that happens to sneeze in their direction, and because it's RANDOM now, they have to hope RNG gives them a way to deal with it. People idiotically clamored on about how we need "All Random" or Ban Phases like that's going to fix the root of the problem: Certain champions will be infinitely better than others when given such broken stats, and the second any of those "god-tier" champions gets picked, the rest of the game is literally just about them and no one else.

URF in League is fun as long as you're not the one getting shat on and All Random didn't fix that at all. I got Sion twice in a row, and in both games I had to 2 v 1 an entire lane on my own because they couldn't handle my poke pressure and wave push. And this was despite the fact that neither team had an actual jungler. So whatever lane the enemy had only 1 player in got shat on so hard they were useless. Game was so fuckin boring I started afk jungling for 5 minutes and we still won.

RNG doesn't make a game mode any better, it only exacerbates the problems it originally had. I'm not going to pretend like I didn't enjoy URF the first time it came out, I genuinely liked it, but it quickly dawned on me that there was going to be shit so cancerous to this game mode that it wasn't going to be worth enjoying.

The 2nd time URF rolled around, I was right. Everyone was quickly disappointed by all the Fizz and Zed and Vlads in each game that no one could do anything but watch those players run around doing shit.

And ARURF here isn't doing a whole lot better - AR isn't even truly random because it's pool-based, so people with small pools of OP champions get to shit all over anyone almost consistently, and if not, they never have a bad pick into the game anyway. I only played it HOPING the RNG element would stop one-sided stomps, or at least reduce their occurrence, but it hardly does. It's normally clear within the first 2-3 minutes who's actually going to win.

If we had your way, over half the roster would be banned because the only ones that don't really become broken out of this are ADCs.

: Chain CC combo forever, bursts with an AP-off tank build, ult has excessive up time. : Passive up almost every all-in, Ult+E+E+E+E : ALWAYS HAS SOLDIERS, FUCK : One of the many poster champions for this mode. : Flash on a 5 second cooldown, woohoo. : Near infinite chase potential with Q, true damage up the ass. This ignores her W. : So fuckin annoying with his Q and E that his box is also broken. : SPIN2WIN : Still builds Mallet, but now you can't catch him. : Dash. Dash. Dash. COMBO. Dash. Dash. Dash. COMBO. : HE ALWAYS HAS TURRETS. IF HE MAXES Q, HE CAN CYCLE THEM AND INDEFINITELY JUGGLE TURRET AGGRO WITH THEM, LIKE HOLY SHIT. : E-Q-Q-Q-E-Q-Q-Q-KILLING SPREE. : blink combo blink combo blink combo "TRIPLE KILL!" : Her Q procs her own Q damage. She wave clear with a point-and-click. And her passive fully resets ult from the get-go. Good luck being squishy. : Heal with MS boost, ranged autos with no projectiles, invulnerability ult, slow off Q. If you're melee, you're fucked. Unless you're Alistar, then you can just CC combo her to death through ult. : Her W has such a low cooldown her return-blink delay lasts longer, and she can W-Q-R you every 10 seconds. : Stop moving. Just stop. And die. : FUZZY! ZIPPY! LITERAL 100% SPELL UP-TIME. : AP Malphite is viable now. Q-Q-Q-Q-Q-Q-Level 6 for kill. : Lands a Q, you should afk now. : Afk stacks through the entire jungle and gets 300 stacks before 10 minutes (if they're any good), then proceeds to splitpush everything to death. : Hops away. Unless you're Kassadin with Rank 3 ult, have fun eating spears chasing. : stealth trap taunts and baits into box shiv repeat : You literally cannot push against Sion. He will yell the minions to death. He will yell you to death. 2 v 1 his lane and you'll still lose it. : INFINITE ULT UP-TIME, WOOHOO. : Summons 6 balls, ults for kill. Okay. : Chain CC for DAYS. Literally. : Her Q gives her permanent AS buffs, permanent E up-time for trading, W up ever 4 seconds. Play her AD or AP, you're gonna combo someone either way. : Ahahahahaha. : Long range poke forever. : Ahahahahahaha. : Never dies unless the Vlad's bad. : Ult ganks are confirmed kills at this point. : Woohoo, the windwall up-time is better than ever. Muh range can't beat him. : BALANCE IS A FOOL'S MASTER.

Seriously, there is no champion that DOESN'T feel like shit to play against unless they're just irredeemably bad in this game mode. Ban the most annoying shits like Zed and Fizz and LeBlanc, then you'll eventually go down the list of bullshit until there's nothing but ass-tier champions like Aatrox and Vayne.

URF's novelty the first time it came out was in everyone figuring out just how broken these champions could be. All the ridiculous interactions and combos were great to look forward to, and it even helped find some outlying bugs. Now that everyone knows how to play the champions in URF, it's just a shitfest that's only fun with friends. 9 of them. Barely.

he might be a great dueler but he cant team fight at all. you're stuck being a clean up tank. anyone who complains about graves being overpowered probably complains about urf in general. true grit means nothing when you cant out damage your opponent with your abilities or auto attacks.

akali does that in normals. bard doesnt get the benefit of morganas q simplicity the benefit of ahris e's range the versatility of lux's q. at best he gets more chimes and meeps per second. braum isnt overpowered or underpowered. he's one of the champs that doesnt get anything or lose anything. he has crowd control but has trouble killing enemies. without a lane buddy to capitalize you're in for a stalemate if you're decent with braum. caitlyn can spam traps in normal. traps do nothing on their own. your opponent has to actually walk into them and then you have to auto attack them. you're still limited to 3 4 5 based on skill level and her Q's set up is a far cry from a safe move to use in urf. the frames required for her to fire both her R and Q are astronomical compared to most champs. all of this completely ignores the fact that her basic attacks still require 6 autos to use headshot - which still requires attack speed to improve. the fact that mundos have to resort to split pushing proves they're underpowered. cleavers are on a 5 second cooldown in normals. his R kills him early game instead of healing him. galio doesnt get the healing early game because of the heal embargo. other than that he's still just a sponge and his sponginess wasnt strengthened. gnar with 40% cdr can almost boomerang just as fast. that 80% means nothing to a 3 second cooldown. the only thing good about graves is his dash. grants him early game dueling potential and that's about it. his basic attack becomes terrible and his skillshots are worthless since everyone can now dodge them. take away his dash and he dies faster than a fish out of water kogmaw can do all of that in normals leona can do that in normals at 45% cdr. malphite ap has always been a thing. especially in korea. especially attack speed ability power malphite. . mordekaiser cant heal early game. his R is nice but it doesnt matter if you cant live long enough to use it. because the game is so fast paced drake means nothing. it doesnt respawn nearly fast enough and it's still a slow clunky clueless minion. i've solo'd it as soon as it's spawned as janna in urf. draven relies on his spinning axes too much which are already on an instant cooldown. the best thing is you can use your R more often. that's about it for draven. kled relies on attack speed and at best can spam his Q and E. even though his passive W is only 3 seconds it doesnt improve his chances of surviving until he can land all of his hits. R doesnt help much since it's a team reliant skill and other than that is just a knockup movement speed buff.

the best champs are the ones with both skillshots and crowd control in their kits that were designed with high damage dealing abilities on long cooldowns. examples are as followed

mana drain champs are the next tier of oppressing champs.

the 3rd set of oppressives being champs that have zero cooldown on a very key ability or unlimited stacking etc.

not all champs fall into those 3 lists. the ones that dont really are just not worth playing in urf.

Sorry, I couldnt hear your post over the sound of all those exploiters in ranked choosing the best champions they saw in the LC$.

rofl it's exploiting to play the champions you want to play, says this Hillary kid.

The difference being that LCS champs DO NOT 100% guarantee a win like URF OP champs. You're just bitter you don't get your easy wins.
