The ultra rapid fire is winding down

Riot·Apr 8, 2015·25 votes·92,882 views

There’s only a few days left to embrace your inner Teemo and terrorize the URF battlefields. Ultra Rapid Fire returns to the Featured Game Mode workshop on April 13 at 2 AM PDT, so if you’re still looking to grab the Thinking Manatee Icon for finishing a game of URF or you want to try out your favorite champ in the hyperactive maelstrom of mayhem, the time is now!

Remember that while the finisher icons themselves are permanent additions to your icon arsenal, you’ll only be able to use the finisher animations in Ultra Rapid Fire mode until it ends. Don’t forget to pick up the Urf Triumphant ward skin or the 99,999 RP Icon if you were looking to add those to your collection, as well. If you’re looking to nab that suite of silly skins, you’re in the clear: they’re not legacy, so they’ll be available year-round.

A lot of stuff to get through, but we know it’s easy to get distracted by all the insanity of URF, so thanks for taking this quick break with us, and we’ll see you on the battlefield!

Please.... PLEASE. Just give it to us MORE THAN ONCE A YEAR. I can deal with twice a year, three times a year would be better. Please just dont make us wait358 more days till we get urf back...

It'd be cool if U.R.F. was a Saturday only thing.

I can't believe this only has 8 votes. Having Urf pop up every Saturday,or even every other Saturday, would be enough to make people shut the hell up about it,while still not being too common.

urf gets boring after you play it over and over and over but it is a nice change from normal summoner's rift

Ibuki SuikaApr 10, 2015147 votes

ive played nothing but urf since it came back and if it was permanent i would never touch the normal modes again.

Togekiss24Apr 10, 201569 votes

It doesn't get that boring for me. This is my first time playing the game mode, and the feeling of freedom you have with a majority of champions makes it so exhilerating. Being able to cast a huge chain of spells without worrying about mana, farming being not as important, games lasting under 20 minutes... It's just so damn fun!

Crystal Scar? is that a new item?

Father CthulhuApr 10, 201596 votes

Having this come around a second time really showed how it's somewhat overrated. I'd love for it to be an annual game mode on April Fools Day, but I'm somewhat glad it isn't permanent. Thanks for letting us play it, RITO.

XentrinosApr 10, 201556 votes

(applause) Thank you for saying that. You deserve a prize. item 2009 I very much agree. URF should not be a permanent game mode because league should have mana and reasonable cooldowns. Although it is fun, it wouldn't suit league to make it permanent.

Radiant NeonApr 10, 201541 votes

I second this. Imo, I get really tired of seeing Ezreal and Leblanc

I SNIFF CRAYONZApr 10, 201528 votes

Logged in just to upvote this. I swear now almost every URF game people play ezreal or shaco or hecarim and the game just becomes super boring because you can't even do anything.

Me playing as Sona in URF: -Beginning of the game, enemy team says in /all "DEAR GOD WE FORGOT ABOUT SONA" -I get First Blood and Double Kill by doing nothing but spamming Q -I stand around my teammates and spamming W, while the enemy team shouts "STOP HEALING THEM SONA" -I spam my 0 second cooldown E to give everyone 75% bonus movement speed

I understand what you're saying, but it would still be cool if it was there as a game mode that you can play with your friends for fun, like ARAM, because I personally believe that urf is way more fun than ARAM.

Prince PogiApr 10, 201538 votes

I would definitely like to see URF or even All for One come back and be a permanent thing. It brings variety to the game; URF is way more fun than ARAM, but it does get annoying when you see the same champions over and over again. Why not just have an URF ARAM?!

KrinKaalApr 10, 201542 votes

So looking through a lot of the comments, I see some people already saying their goodbye's and their "Thanks rito!"'s, but others are saying that URF should stay and be a permanent game. Why not do both and make URF a custom only featured game-mode until April Fools day; where URF turns into a matchmaking featured game-mode?

JingerbeardmanApr 10, 20157 votes

the reason things like this dont work is because it requires dedicated servers to be running all the time then. Currently there are the servers that run SR, another set for TT, another for crystal scar, and another for ARAM. I imagine they also have a fifth set exclusively for featured game modes as well.

and thats not just in the US that is how it is at all the server locations around the world. To bring on an entirely new game mode you would have to have dedicated servers for that mode, even if it was only playable in a custom game.

The solution is very simple. Replace Crystal Scar with URF. It just makes sense.⌐▄-▄

Drizzt StrifeApr 10, 201534 votes

I must disagree with putting Urf away. Sure- it might get old, and is completely unbalanced, but the game-mode's biggest weaknesses are it's greatest strengths. Being able to flash on command, and spam abilities makes you feel empowered. If you think you should put away a fun game mode on the sole purpose of "it gets old" then I got something for you; don't play it if you're not in the mood to. The best course of action is to leave the game mode available just like the other game mode services. It's there when you want it, and for people that strictly play the game for Urf too. I know a lot of people play strictly bot games, and that's completely fine with me, and shouldn't be catered to only Summoner's Rift casual, and competitive players.

BlongTreyLoApr 12, 201522 votes

All these Comments about wanting URF mode to be permanent... I played the game mode everyday since it came out and all I see is the same champ over and over harassing the enemy team and it does gets kinda boring overtime. And there's even those people complaining they won't play any other modes than URF, don't play the game in the first place if you're not gon appreciate that Riot given the players the chances to play these random game modes.
