Winter URF ( first " feelings " , didnt find a much better word , im not english )
First off i didnt play the game mode yet on PBE and i prefer waiting for it to be live ( lag too much on PBE ) so i cant really know how it actually will be.
So you can play Frozen Shen but not Shockblade Zed when the skins splash are the same picture ? ( when rito reworked shen if you watch the whole frozen shen splashart there is shockblade zed on it ) . It is pretty strange tho . I mean he is one of the best urf champs and when you see tundra hunter warwick or northern storm volibear , why not shockblade zed tho ? i really dont see how they fit the theme more than he does , mostly considering the fact frozen shen is playable . Also , big big issue !!! Jhin isnt playable ! Rip the fast tho . Already this was ARURF , now you're even more limited in the champs you can pick tho , this obviously is a great mode for a christmas mode but like after a few games you get bored , not enough champs and kinda boring ones tbh . Ive seen a list and only few seem actually interesting , tho i hope we can chosethem this time around ? cause that would feel terribad to have volibear for exemple ( imo ) . I mean the game mode is potentially interesting and good xmas mode, but actual URF is faaar better .
Also idk where are black markets and one for all gone ...
So yeah rito you have ideas that are looking good on the paper ( new maps and unique gameplay ( dark star , star guardian , overcharge ) but that feels a bit boring real fast because ure limiting the champs we can play and doing that with URF doesnt seem like a great idea tbh .
Tho i might be almost the only one in that situation , i somehow dont feel this winter URF will be that fun exept for the cross map snowballs . Obviously lots of other problems and more important ones about current game balance could be stated , but currently since ive seen lots of vids about this urf mode , this is basically my main " interest " . So wait and see obviously but last time i said that it was about pre season and most of what i was scared of happened tho .
So , your feeling ? you can tell me if you agree ( well the question isnt if you like URF or not but if you share my feelings about this new mode , to be more clear )
