Yep, there is also normal draft pick. Not sure what this Poro King is, though.

I enjoy ARAM, and the Featured rotations, works to keep the game fresh. (As soon as Snowdown ends anyway) I also find it a good way to earn those chests for certain champions, when their kits synergize with a particular game mode. (Most Battle mages and Juggernauts on TT Hexakill)

Kinda been waning off of Normal draft for Ranked though. Mainly because I rarely feel like their is much of a difference. Though I don't troll and always play to win, I just simply feel like there's no bar for playing ranked. (And I'm not particularly obsessed with climbing the ranked ladder.)

It'll just be the Poro King with a floral wreath on his head instead of a crown and a green, flowery cape.

Snowball turns into pollen. Still played on Murder Bridge for some reason.

Sole changes.

Poro king was pointless as soon as they added the snowball to ARAM.

dominusxJan 9, 20175 votes

its not even a fun gamemode lol. its the worst gamemode. one for all is way way more fun. even ascension or w/e it's spelled is better.

A LiberalJan 10, 20173 votes

Don't worry, you'll see Ascension twice, hexakill, one for all, and THEN poro king.

SirTeemoMushroomJan 10, 20173 votes

maybe you mean FOREVER? ARURF is crap, the real urf was great, were no champion was banned... brand,lb,kata can't be banned... but teemo does ^___^

videorfeakJan 9, 20172 votes

For every crybaby on the boards about poro king I hope we get it twice in a row... So about a year's worth of poro king

I enjoyed URF much more than ARURF.

BeatzBoyFTWJan 10, 20171 votes

I'm guessing you're gonna spam the same champion in every game you play like Fizz or Shaco, I bet?

WAP JookayJan 11, 20172 votes

Would it be a bad thing to "spam" a champion I enjoy playing ? What do you play in ranked games ? Do you pick your champions randomly ?

Galio and Sona had a +60% winrate in URF. If people enjoyed playing them, are they wrong to pick them ? Should they think "God I wish I could play Fiora but this Anivia right there will insult me" ?

Tahm Kench and Kalista had a 33% and 37% winrate in URF. They couldn't do anything against the other two, of course. My solution : Don't pick them, or ask Rito to buff them. 33% winrate dude !

What's Riot's solution ? Random picks ? Please. The problem will remain, the only difference will be that the people who played Tahm Kench and Kalista in ARURF didn't want to. Nerf the champs above 55%, buff the champs below 40%.

People asked for ARURF because they were tired of "always seeing the same OP champs".

But, as Rito stated (even though they still followed the first impression of the community), the OP champs weren't even the most picked champs.

Just think about the URF/ARURF problem like this : If the champions being OP are the problem, what will random mode do ? The OP will still destroy the weaks. But without random, "If everyone is OP, nothing is" (-- Syndrome). If there were no 33% winrates to be (randomly) picked, there would be no problem since pretty much anyone could 1v1 anyone.

Source: http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/infographics/urf-6-8 A URF winrate infographics has been released.

The top 5 most popular champions were:

Ezreal (Played in 31.8% of games) Zed (Played in 31.0% of games) Shaco (Played in 27.7% of games) Blitzcrank (Played in 26.6% of games) Lux (Played in 26.5% of games)

The top 5 winrates were:

Galio (66.2% winrate) Sona (64.1% winrate) Fiora (59.1% winrate) Wukong (58% winrate) Maokai (57.4% winrate)

And the top 5 worst winrates:

Tahm Kench (33.3% winrate) Thresh (35.8% winrate) Kalista (37.8% winrate) Cassiopeia (39.0% winrate) Anivia (39.2% winrate)

I've been interested in URF and its community for more than two years, reading everything people said about it. Don't just repeat "dur I want to play fun champs but the bad tryhards (I hate this word, sorry for killing you I guess ?) always kill me. I don't care about winning since I play for fun, but I hate losing dur" to me because I've seen it from so many people who played 3 games of URF.

The biggest problem with normal URF is that people dying against an 11/0 Fizz at 5 minutes didn't ask themselves why. He must be OP right ?

I had a dude playing against me, acting like "Wow this Fizz killed my Nami even though I'm a better player than him. It's just that Nami is bad, that's why I never see her, and Fizz is OP, these tryhards always pick him."

Little did he know that Nami had a better winrate than Fizz. The Fizz was just fed, by the botlane Kalista. A week later, she was probably on the forums : "OMG Rito URF is not fun anymore, people only spam the OP champs, I can't pick a fun champ".

Meanwhile, I was playing AP Rek'Sai and destroying a Xin Zaho. I won with the #115 winrate against the #6 win rate. Which is weird, I thought we "couldn't play fun champs because we got destroyed by the OP champs" ? And I'm not that good at the game.

Last thing but not least, I never tried Veigar in URF (am I allowed to or is he too OP for you ? He certainly is, in the minds of a few players). Anyway, I joined 50 ARURF games and never got to play Veigar. Nice. I played Lux 7 times. Sure, I won most of these 7 games, mostly against the garbage picks, but it wasn't fun, I don't really like Lux (and it probably wasn't fun for them either). But hey, at least I didn't "always" (once every 3 games) see this damn 49.9% win rate (so unbalanced) Ezreal, right ?

(Sorry, I wrote much more than I expected and it probably isn't as clear as I intended. Not to mention I probably sound a bit cold or sarcastic)

KuboxJan 10, 20171 votes

Most people seem to misunderstand : ARURF is not meant to be better than URF, rather it's the lesser of two evil. It's the best way to have URF without it being the same 20 champs every game (and god help your soul if you wanted to try a champ that is not on the OP list, because the enemy team sure ain't gonna do the same).

doiminat0r3600Jan 9, 20171 votes

I also don't want to see the same game mode for more than 2 weeks at a time either unless its a special event, in which case I don't want to see more than 3 weeks straight.
