How to fix URF
This is in no way a complaint against ARURF. I think all random modes are hilarious and fun. Stop whining and give real input, people.
Idea:
Have regular draft URF with no bans.
Top 10-14 performing champs are locked out of everyone's game. Keep the winrate stats quite public so we know who is locked and when. Maybe put that info into a snazzy box on the side when URF game mode is selected.
This causes players to pick less popular champs. Have a 2hr cool down on champs going in/out of the permalock status
(I.e if Lux is no.1 and goes down to no.11, there is a 2 hour grace period before she can get locked again. So champs don't fly back into getting banned as soon as they're unbanned.)
Provide incentives for playing low ranking champs (random skin enabled for games with bottom 20% of champs, bonus IP for bottom 10%.
Might be worth a try one time. And sure people will complain but they always complain. And this actually might be balanced.
Thoughts?
