URF is worse than ever

I played a couple games on PBE and chalked up my bad experience due to the massive player skill difference present on the server. I thought "maybe the changes will be fine on Live servers."

It's not.

Strong champions that were already good in URF are even stronger. If you fall behind, you respawn and get back to lane quickly, but the enemy can also just recall and get back to lane at the same time. You fall behind even more. The game is decided in the first four minutes. Champions with low cooldown CC are still ridiculously strong.

ARURF is not good. Just give us regular URF with bans. Please.

I still have fun with base league. I used to have fun with URF. I wish I still could.

urf is only fun on the first few days where you try different builds on recently reworked and released champions. Then it's boring as hell: Annie Jax Fizz Karthus Kassadin Rumble MonkeyKing Zed Garen Renekton Riven Veigar Velkoz Syndra

Somehow implying that regular URF with bans is going to be an improvement? Then it's a game of which team fucks up first and allows the enemy assassin team to snowball faster.

Weather AR is better than URF or not, 1 thing for sure is the changes this time around make the game mode worse. It feels way faster than ever in a bad way. The cannon sucks all we needed was the speed boost at fountain. 1 Game was over in not even 10 minutes at lvl 9. That's not fun. URF had comebacks. Tankier late game champs had some chance to become good later at higher levels. This is just over immediately and the more bursty wins. There will always be op vs less op but these recent changes made it more extreme. Between cannon, and new bosses the power spike is just overwhelming. URF lost its magic now. This doesn't feel anymore fun than nexus blitz. In fact the urf in nexus blitz feels way more fun than this...

yes give us regular URF so we can see the 10 strongest champion every single game with 0 variance, because that's fun!

ARURF wasn't terrible before, but the sheer amount of damage in the game since its last iteration, plus the changes they've made, just puts the nail in the coffin. It's frustrating and I'm sad that the "silly fun" of the mode is straight up gone.

Just bring back Nexus Blitz already.

i dont understand why they made teemo useless. you can only have 4-5 mushrooms out at a time.

what do you expect when champions are random? one team will always faceroll the other but there are people who think getting extremely demolished is better than being able to pick your champs

biggest issue I've found is that taking the new canon causes you to trigger anything you fly over

Teemo Shrooms, Viktor ult, cho Q, Lux Ult, etc

if anything catches you at a bad moment while flying you can literally die before you land

first ever urf was best ... simply because there was no balance ... it was just simple rules ... you get this amount of CDR attack speed etc ... eveyrone had teh same rules so it didnt matter if it was broken no one cared now you bring in these shield nerfs healing nerfs limiting things for champs and thats just destroyed the mood for urf to me ...

URF feels so bad because after level 6 the Summoner's Rift itself is basically URF without the TP cooldown bonus

Honestly I am so incredibly sad at how awful this new version of URF is... Its most disgusting because Riot simply flat out trolls us. They know what we want. They know it was super fun and we loved it more than anything they have ever put out (which enrages them), and so they intentionally give us worse and worse and worse versions of URF until its completely and utterly destroyed and not fun anymore. I think we have hit that point. Then they can say "look we told u URF isn't that fun and you don't like it that much. Trust us we know what you want you don't know what you want."
