Arurf is bad, and here is a non-emotional and logical reason as to why.
First off, with no bans, the entire roster is allowed. Which means that every single one of those champions that made the original urf unfair and caused riot to change it out for this is the first place, actually has a better chance of being in your game. Second, without the ability to pick your favorite champion, the ability to experiment and find fun builds with friends is now improbable. Third, with it being blind, if someone does in fact pick an overpowered champ in the gamemode, you no longer have the ability to counterpick it in order to make it less overbearing. with 10 bans as a system that works now, why not apply it to Urf? Or, and here is a thought. Why not have both modes going at the same time? there is surely enough players with 10 second que times that two gamemodes can be going at the same time. Arurf is literally the most frustrating gamemode that exists. And this is objectively speaking too. Think about it. The enemy team gets a teemo, oriana, sona, maokai, and yi. Your team is reksai, ivern, bard, tristana, and jhin. Explain to me how this matchup is going to be enjoyable for anyone? The Op team, (figure out which one is op on your own ;P) is gonna stomp and grow bored as there is no stress or tension, just pressing buttons and winning. And the underpowered team is going to be completely unable to influence the outcome of the game... In truth, Arurf is not even a close second to Urf in terms of a well-made gamemode. It is in fact one of the worst. (I would even rate it with the likes of nexus siege)
No bans, completely random and unbalanced team compositions, blind pick, and overall a sense of frustration in almost every game. I'm sorry, but for those of you that like the gamemode, you have to understand that for it to REPLACE the other Urf is actually upsetting to those of us who like the regular mode better. If Riot truly does want to make the game fun for the PLAYERS, then they need to listen to the other half of the player base who dislike arurf, and have been clamoring for the main game mode all this time. No matter what they think of balance or enjoyment of the game themselves, its not up to them what we find fun or not. It is up to them however how they run themselves as a company. to outright decline to even think about bring regular urf back, they are showing the community that they don't care. At least, they don't care about half of us anyway.
For those who support it, what exactly is your reasoning? I have read the majority of the board posts each time Arurf comes around, and each time a post like this is made dozens of responses saying arurf is good start surfacing. I don't know where you guys are coming from, but I would like to know your thoughts. And please, leaving a downvote is fine, but if you disagree, please try to keep your insults and illogical statements in your head (use a notepad document if you must type it out...) I'll be waiting, not playing arurf, and hoping that Riot one day caters to their ENTIRE audience.
