Another post complaining about URF

XxHoneyWaspxX··26 votes·1,049 views

You know, URF was made as a joke, it was made to show how ridiculous a game could get. And when we got to play it there were a lot of problems, but that's to be expected out of a once a year JOKE GAMEMODE. They made URF come back and better than ever, and then they listened to the complaints in the worst possible way. Remember dodge? Well it's essentially that but as an entire game mode. You get lucky and you might be able to have fun. The way they balanced this game-mode that was fun because it wasn't balanced just made it complete garbage, as opposed to the proper way to balance the game mode, which is just more bans, and they already added more bans so I really don't see why ARURF is still the main URF.

As for the new URF, I personally like the idea (albeit less than normal URF) if it wasn't ARURF. This new game-mode limits your champion pool to around 4 good champions that will absolutely stomp in URF, 8 champions that do well, and the rest will get stomped into the ground. URF is meant to be a gamemode that you can just kind of shut your brain down and have fun with, but now if you can't counter-play any champ in the game with any champ in the game then you're at a loss.

Basically what I'm saying is that I am an adult and I feel like I should be able to at least make the decision of what champion to play in a goddamn league game-mode.

An easy fix to this is to simply air both gamemode's at the same time. The people who like ARURF better because of its "Balance" will play that and the other 90% will play regular URF. I know this post isn't really needed and that a lot of other people have already said it, but If I don't vent about how garbage this game mode is I'm gonna end up losing a game talking in all chat about how bad it is.

I know it won't happen because Riot don't really care about their player base, but it would make my day to see regular URF come back to the rift.

Honestly with how bad they've pissed off everyone with this and the preseason changes I can't tell if they are just pure evil, or unbelievably incompetent.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

You don't seem to get that more bans won't get you a better quality games. URF has an 80% CDR for everyone and AS boost. It's a meme game mode. Which means that the moment you ban the first tier of "toppest of keks" champions, a second tier of "topper kek" champions is going to replace them. So then you'll ask for EVEN MORE BANS, to which RIot may move to 30/30 ban format where half of the pool is made unavailable because people just can't enjoy the games anymore without complaining that it's not fun to lose against this and that champion.

It's time for the people who make these complaints to understand something very important - you don't enjoy URF anymore. One demand after another and it clearly shows that you didn't think them through.

Is URF a perfect mode? No. There are certainly more champ pool optimizations to be made and THAT'S THE POINT OF A LIMITED QUEUE. Test new changes out and then make better preparations/changes for the next time when its up. This is also the biggest reason why it will never be a permanent mode. Because it would then require constant maintenance, as a meme mode.

I do think that URF without All-Random is significantly better. I do, however, feel like the top 5-10 champions should be bumped out of the game mode. Sure, once you ban the top few, the next top few become the top, but... There's a qualitative difference between Morgana being the top tier with permasnares, buttloads of vamp, and CC, but still an amount of counterplay, and Fiora literally invalidating the entire game because she will inevitably 1v3 your team at 15 minutes.

The issue is that I'd need to trust rito to know what those champions are, and to expect them to put in the work to determine it. It'd be much better if riot had the technology to let us determine the answer for ourselves. We the players could set up this Tier 0 list, perhaps in-game with some sort of pre-roll pick phase. where each per-I'm talking about bans. We know I'm talking about bans right?

Idk I haven't seen a champ that wasn't pretty impactful in the game.

Fiddlesticks in my opinion sucks. But then I remember he can permafear that pesky jax that's been steamrolling the team.

I've heard people say Amumu was garbage, Volibear, Gnar, etc. But I've also seen and have played as each of them and they are far from it.

I'd imagine new Urgot would be pretty trash A few others might be Nocturne Braum Mordekaiser (But god help you if you say anything bad about Morde :^), Kayn

Only noc and braum are in it.

Braum is an amazing tank. Tanky af due to perma E damage reduction. Definitely a great urf tank.

Noc is the oneshot monster. He kills whoever he wants (that isn't a tank).

And I have played URF Urgot before tho. When you cancel W the shield stays but the 3.0 attack speed thing goes away. This means if you spam W and cancel it immediately you can shield yourself alot more often for when people are focusing you. You just build full tank cuz his legs are permanently at maximum refresh rate and you can't oneshot anyone anyway. Makes a great damage dealing tank.

I've also played URF Morde before. Once again, build full tank since you aren't a oneshot machine (basic rules for URF, if you can't oneshot you're a tank lel). Your E will constantly fill up your shield that scales on your maximum health and benefits from armor and mr. All you do is tank tf out of them and put your ult on whoever your team is focusing. Not bad in URF at all.

Fiddle might be the best duelist in this game mode. If you build AD and crit, then getting the drop on a lone player guarantees their death. You simply ult or snowball onto them and chain your q and e while autoing them. Zero counter-play aside from having more vision, dodging snowball, and/or literally one-shotting him with an auto.
