How to suck all the fun out of URF -Featuring Riot Games
Let me say first of all that I know the old URF was getting stale with an URF meta, so I do agree that URF needed a change. However I don't think the way riot implemented the change was the right one.
Random champions may work in ARAM most of the time, this is because in ARAM there is more room to outplay someone (You do get the occasional 5 poke vs 5 melee matchups but it's not that often) and the champs are balanced normally with mana and CD. In URF Random champions doesn't work because there is no balance in urf. In the previous URF everybody got the champs they wanted and everybody was OP. However now some people might be playing champs which are almost useless in URF so they are not having any fun. What makes matters worse is that the enemy could get one of the Super OP champions in URf such as
,
,
,
and other picks like these. Because the teams become so unbalanced there is sometimes up to 3-4 people needed to help against a split push from one of these champs. This leads to incredibly frustrating gameplay since it feels like there is nothing someone can do on their own to outplay one of these champs. So I think that it stops the crazy OP URF gameplay and just comes down to champs select who got the most lucky with their champs. Because how it is now an OP champ can 1v5 the game if the other team got unlucky.
I've have been hearing numerous complaints about some of these champs which are normally balanced around cooldowns that they can shut down an entire enemy team, and they also feel the same way that this sucks the fun out of URF which was supposed to be a super random and crazy gamemode. I currently can't think of any solution to this problem, balancing champs might be a solution but it won't work well since the abilities can just have some inherent problems to have such low cooldowns.
I thought at first that the Random champs would fix the problems urf had but now that I played it I realised it has more problems than before. So what I would do to fix it is just let people pick their champs, because one more problem is that a lot of people want to play a champ that they consider fun but they can't get them because they are just unlucky in the draft.
So riot, if you read this please change URF again since this is not the solution to the URF Meta problems.
