This has gone on long enough.

I didn't want to make this post, but three games in one day has forced my hand. I've come to and accept Riot's decision to end regular URF. I don't like it, but I know that is never coming back. That said, we now need to build on ARURF.

The game mode is on its way to being something good, but so far is lacking a ban phase. This one crucial element in my opinion, is what ruins ARURF for me and most people. Sometimes your going to get a champion you don't like or the enemy is going to get an extremely OP champion for URF. You have little to know way of countering someone if you are an ADC and they have a Zed. Enjoy the Dodge timer or LeaveBuster too if you don't want to sit and lose after 20 mins.

I understand that URF was made to d**k around. I am all for the the chaotic mess that has been created that all of us love. But without any form of counterplay, the game has turned into a Russian Roulette style madhouse that ruins games before they even start. Riot stated they dumped URF and made it random to combat a "stagnant meta." Obviously, there is a team that wants some balance in URF because I used in the recent enable post of URF, Riot members were saying they don't know how unbalanced some champs are and are disabling some. If you really can call yourself a balance team, you are designed to ensure the game is fair for everyone. That is simply impossible without a ban phase.

I agree. If they're gonna make it up to chance they should at least have SOME mercy and let us ban the OP champs lol

You can still get op champs. Either ban system can be implemented– 6 or 10. I'll compile a list below of who I think is op in URF.

Shaco (boxes) Zed (permanent dodges) Sona (spam abilities to proc power cord) Annie (high damage and a stun) Kled (W up very quickly can get you Skarrl back) Jax (permanent stun and unhittable) Garen (e is always spinning and q can silence opponents, a deadly combination) Rumble (your heat cools down at double speed and q is high damage, massive DPS) Singed (permanent gas with insanity potion always up. Fling disorienting) Morgana (If you land your Q, that opponent is dead. Chain roots and they cant move)

These are just 10 champions out of 100+ There are definitely more then 10 champions that are busted in URF. You also would be limited in bans so you can't obviously have a no fun allowed game.

A phase also protects the player from a really bad URF champion. Here are three champs that are overall weak in URF:

Urgot – Your passive doesn't work off CDR. As such, you won't get much farm and life is going to be very hard. Purge doesn't do much damage and you are relatively squishy at the start. Your Q is still abysmal, and your R must hit them when low. You can't carry the team effectively because you have no farm and as such no gold. You won't get black cleaver until 10 which is practically mid game in URF time. Any kill you could have gotten has either gotten fed and will out thank you or is dead because your team KS'ed you.

Nunu – A train wreck already, this guy is overall bad. Half is passive is useless because Mana doesn't exist, but the rank can come in handy early. You need 5 basics to proceed it though, which is a tall order when you are melee. Your Q only goes to 5 stacks, which really isn't that high. Your basics get a buff from it but it really is that good. The W is really the only saving grace for the guy. You can W an ally which gives them some good stats, but you only get the AP buff. AS is already plentiful in URF. Your E has high AP output and it has the slow too. It's point and click so it will be anoying. You. Wed to to get into range though, cuasuibg you to be open to hard CC making you time hard. R is overall bad in URF. You need to sit and wait for it to charge up, and if stunned or higher, it fails. CC is available quite readily in URF so your ult will be low in damage.

Skarner – This is a lost cause if you get him. Passive requires fights in JG and your kills are in lane. You need to farm JG and can't use lane as a vaible option. Q does little damage and has .5 cool down. The W isn't very high and e requires an aim and a basic. You cant e when you ult and it's CD is about 25 seconds. Overall, you are not doin much damagw and can't fight where you want. It's like going over enemy lines and taking on an army with a pistol. Good luck even with full ammo.

I think this would be a quality addition, i believe singed may be added to the trash list. His q is his damage and he is melee with no ranged poke (which makes up urf) so he gets no dmg in. The game mode has great potential to be a fun house. Except as singed against a lucian.
