But what if I wanted to ask an important question here. Like where's URF? And where's the Q&A for the design team behind URF. Why is Urf dead?Warwick Can he be brought back to life?Zilean item 3026Viktor And how hard is it to make one of these game-modes?

What if I told you that every time you ask when URF is coming back, they delay it another month?

The time is January, 2050. Urf is about to be released. That one guy asks "When will it come out?" Everyone groans as Urf is delayed until February.

February 2050: people are waiting patiently for urf, just as it was about to be released, an idiot asks again five times. Knowing that the world is going to be ruled by robots in May, the people let out an exhausted cry. No more urf, they only game left to be played is Doombots

Urf virtualy stopped ranked. People loved it so much.

considering the people playing ranked, thats not really a problem. in fact, it might distract the "mid or feed" kids and the trolls and ragers and idiots and the people who have no idea how to play as a team and the people who generally make LoL an unpleasant experience on an all-too-frequent basis

heres something u shud try riot... KEEPING THE DAMN GAMEMODES IN THE GAME!!! srry if that sounded mean but unless theres a reason that i dont know about, it seems kinda pointless to keep taking em out. :/

then no one would play normal or ranked ( Not that anyone likes those modes)

Boruto Hyuga23 votes

not true, i cycle between every game mode with the exception of ranked which i still play occasionally. It really depends what i am in the mood to do, and how i want to play. Ill play blind, draft, teambuilder, i dont care... So saying that no one would play these game modes is going a little far, people would still play them, the only thing that would change is population density per game mode. Ques could get a little longer is all. Now an easy fix for that would be to post numbers of people in game and in wait in each game mode so people can see whats hot at present and decide where they want to go...

naw for urf, i played like 5 games, then started playing ranked again because urf got boring, it was fun but too much urf gets boring

The reason you don't know about is that it requires server dedication for each individual game mode. This is cost prohibitive.

Honestly, how much of the community needs to beg for Riot to bring URF back before your company decides to do so? Literally every Riot post has multiple people wanting URF mode to come back, so why not just make it a permanent game-type? You have nothing to lose? THE CODING IS ALREADY THERE, you don't need to put additional man hours into it, just release it permanently end of story and you can make thousands more happy. If you have the ability to make more people happy without negatively impacting the community, why don't you do it already? Instead of wasting your time releasing skin after skin that a couple people might enjoy, why not release a gametype that thousands of people can play on a regular basis?

Please read and upvote if you agree, thanks for your time.

the problem is, and I do not speak for riot in any way shape or form. But if we took the entire player base of league, there is no way that they can release URF mode back permanently without taking down the space on their server that something else currently occupies. So I agree that URF mode should come back, that was incredibly fun, but I also think that I enjoy having new featured gamemodes, which would have to be traded off in order for URF to come back permanently. Just be patient grasshopper, it'll come when its good and ready. Trundle

All you need to do to get rid of the server problems is replace dominion with URF. I think the majority of players would rather have that. Granted there are some people who like dominion, but that percentage is... small compared to the vast majority of players who still want to play URF

Why can't Rito buy more servers? I think those who have purchased legendary skins have given Rito more than enough to purchase another server dedicated to URF

unfortunately server upkeep is freaking expensive.

What if you add a mode similar to Doom bots, where players get to design their champion. You can only have one passive, one q, one w, one e, and one R, but these abilities can be taken from any champion. It's highly unbalanced but should be interesting.

Doom Bots was good on paper, but when you actually play the game it is more frustrating than fun. You cannot play most of the champions in the pool as they will just get dominated in lane, and throughout most of the game, you are stuck playing as champions that don't need to be in a fight to deal damage, melee champions had no effect in late game, and the only strategy that seems to work is to split push.

I don't know if you are the same team that made all the other featured game modes or not, but I really want a combination of a lot of these game modes. So i think it would be really cool if you could coordinate with the other teams to make an EPIC game mode. You probably have heard all the people saying to give doom abilities to the players, and that would be fun, but i think what would be even better would be something like URF and those abilities together. Maybe you could even add the Hexakill and one for all aspect to it too. I love all the featured game modes and I can't wait to see more. Keep up the good work!

A gamemode that could be really cool, could be a game where maybe players resive +5% movespeed per level. This could be a test to see if faster champs are more fun. to clarify, so when level 18, your champ would have 190% movespeed that you have in a normal game.

Why complain about any game mode that is meant to take our minds off the regular game modes? All of these extra modes are fun and quite unique in their own ways. How about people spend less time raging to riot about nonsense like "I want URF back, all the rest sucks", and thank riot for taking the damn time to give you guys something new to play!!

The people complaining about Doom Bots being "A sure loss" and thus "not fun" must be doing something wrong, I've beaten the DoomBot gauntlet twice (level 1->2->5) and haven't lost a single game. Yes the doom bots are OP, but waveclear champs and split pushing make it incredibly easy, they are bots and don't prioritize well.

They also ignore pet aggro (AD Malz and AP Heimerdinger OP.), don't dodge skill shots beyond a certain range away (Ziggs and Lux can hit them around the edge of vision and the bots don't even try to dodge.)

Additionally they lack the focus to kill certain melee hyper carries (Yi, Aatrox, Fiora, Tryndamere.) resulting in these champs utterly destroying the bots in the mid-late game.

To summarize, it's fun to fight their OP AF abilities, but the AI is still so exploitable that the games are no match. Humans still most OP.

If you can't beat the doom bots, you shouldn't be playing ranked.

Dyrus and the Odd One lost to doom bots. Guess they cant play ranked right?

anakulsmos5 votes

yep im bronze 5 and i beat it

Zorag5 votes

they simply lost because they were so used to playing like it was normal that they wouldnt split push and use as many neccesary tactics as required to beat the doom bots.

the only reason ranked is hard is because bad kids make it hard

THANK YOU! this guy knows what hes talking about

I think a fun gametype would be to have a Simple game where everyone starts off at lv 18 but they have to get the gold and items like normal. This kills half the frustration because you can't complain that someone beat you because they were 4 levels ahead of you the whole game. The game would all be determined by skill and items (but mostly skill). Granted this isn't as creative as Doom bots or URF (RIP in Peace), I feel that it would be fun (imagine the invades at the start lol)

Quick. Simple. Fun!

Ummm just saying... If one person managed to get a 4 level lead on you, unless it was because of a bad connection causing a game crash, I think we know which player has more skill.
