Riot··1 votes·31,053 views

Hey Snowdowners!

Hope you’ve been enjoying the festivities this season. No wait, bestivities! Because they were the best of any Snowdown, right!? Unfortunately, by royal decree of The Big Fluff the splendiferous Poro King, all bestivities are ending on 1/8/18 at 11:59 PM PT. Don’t be a loser like Draven miss out on:

  • ALL THE STUFF Snowdown skins, wards, poro icons, emotes, Snowdown Capsules, and bundles
  • Naughty (YEAH!) and Nice (PFFFFT!) missions, where you can earn the Dravenbread or Braumbread emote
  • Gifting your friends the Santa Baron 2017 Icon ( !!!)
  • Your Snowdown Shop
  • Playing Legend of the Poro King, where you can cast poro snax spells and equip poro skins

Thanks for making this Snowdown a blast!

XOXO,
Draven, Jinx & Poppy

I dont like all random URF .... it depends on luck and what champ you got. .. can you bring back the old version, I know you mentioned why you don't in the Ask Rito thing. maybe more prefer to select their own champions. if people get to choose their own champion the game might be more balanced since people all choose the stronger one.

ARURF should be in the Howling Abyss.
URF should be in the Summoner's Rift.

thanks for you guys' hard work. hope someone can hear this comment.

btw when can we get One for All.

I don't mind random since it gives rerolls, but snowdown URF is too limited so you always end up seeing the same champs

ONE FOR ALL COME BACK PLSSSSS

I'd like to see hexakill again, tbh.

We want One For All to come back. We like One For All. Unfortunately, the custom voting mechanism in champ select that let’s you vote on the champs—and effectively facilitates the whole mode—needs to be re-built by hand to work in the new client. We haven’t been able to get to this yet

When you can pick your champ in URF 9/10 times it's a mirror match of the broken champs for that mode, booooooring.

Cheese Chaos2 votes

Why do you keep picking the same champs? I probably ended up playing every champ in the game by the time the game mode went away.

Jungle Sadist2 votes

thats completely ass backwards logic. "Some people like to choose their own champions", "Old URF is more balanced because everybody chooses OP champions".

Old URF wasn't fun at all even if you got to choose your own champions because of the OP picks like Jax, Ezreal, etc. ARURF is completely fair, and it lets people play around with new champions and it gives the game mode variety. Snowdown URF is pretty dumb though.

I agree with you, unfortunately a lot of people disagreed with you xD

The event was okay...seemed a bit dead though. I had some fun with Rammus well just mostly rammus. It just didn't feel the same anymore. I know it was a holiday event ARURF mode. Wonderful idea, but it just lack something. One day I like to see brand new ARURF special icons, or crazy ARURF items in shop. Something that will pick up the game mode. But as of now, it really wasn't as fun as it was before the changes. Not even ARAM feels the same anymore as it used to be, before some changes. After you deleted crystal scar, the game has died for me since then. I really enjoyed playing leauge of legends, but it feels like you took the fun out of some stuff that people had fun with. Try letting the community vote sometimes on changes. It might be better in the long run, you let us vote on charity, and illaoi skin. So why not let us vote on dramatic changes you make by deleting crystal scar, or if we want Old URF or New ARURF...Let us as a community vote on it..but yeah, I had fun playing league, but its just not fun anymore....

Urf was fun,I played non-stop all week, I love the random champs but it would have been more fun with all the champs available. I only play aram and the good fgm (urf, ofa, hexakill, nemisis and sometimes nexus seige.)Now that Urf is gone my life is over, I hope that one for all comes back soon so I have a reason to go on.

I know you guys wanted to limit the amount of times that op champs were played to keep it fun, but the opposite took place when the mode was limited to only champions that had a winter-themed skin, which only accounted for roughly 25% of the whole champion pool. The games got boring after around a day or two of playing, which was very disappointing considering the fact that many of us were looking forward to try out champions that have never URF'ed before.

So now that ARURF is gone do I have to win 3 summoner's rift matches to finish my 2/3 ARURF naughty quest? Thats...annoying. And I can't play aram (which is what I usually play) since I don't want to disable the naughty quests. Wish both modes had been kept for the entire event, I like Poro king but I want the Baron Poro for it, which I can't get by playing it.

How hard is it for you to win 3 normal games?

I had fun without a doubt, my only issue was the fact that you permaban Sona, but KASSADIN got to stay, it was too op and made it less fun when Snow Battle ARURF came around. I'm completely fine with ARURF, but limiting the champion pool more had made it less interesting.

Can I just state that last years Hextech Chest skin theme was one of the best Snowdowns....? Just putting it out there.

I pretty surprised that no one's commented on this yet, but I love how you had Jinx murder give the editing team a much needed time off and destroy their rep faster than Rammus on Urf lend a very, ah, interesting narrative. It certainly was in tune with this Snowdown's theme. A tune that sounds remarkably like Get Jinxed.....

to be honest, aside from the whole aurf drama, these events are getting better, between more free loot and no tokens, im pretty pumped for future events

can you please make a vayne holiday skin.

Unicornator1 votes

Loved the event, the fact that you were forced to used summoner 39 and summoner 4 for urf (i think?) changed a lot of urf-strategies. I personally think that an "healthy" urf game might required some restrictions like that to prevent broken things to happens.

Pool of champion was a tad small though, making it faster to know which champion were good and which one struggled in that pool of champs. Oh and Sona should at least be tweaked for this mode (i'm not sure but i think some champions already are tweaked if they play urf right?).

Why can't I gift someone Santa Baron and why can't someone gift me it? It doesn't seem available as a gift icon option...

Full roster ARURF would be nice...[vayne-pose]

Tigercloud1 votes

urf needed to have ban options IMO with the option of all champs can be played. that is what most were saying anyway. i found out this was the only mode that i was grinding my teeth and getting pissed to play for some reason. it was fun at times but most the time it was a salt fest.

Neutronic11 votes

Ha, too bad no one cares about ARURF. All anyone ever wanted was normal URF ..but "apparently" it makes the player count drop off and never return. Not sure how much of that is true.

Thank you for making this game mode it is awesome. I love my poro king icon I got years ago.

starforcegeo1 votes

if riot makes urf a one or two-day thing every couple of months wouldn't it help make fewer people quit the game? these versions of urf for me personally flat out suck.

I didn't realize there was a "naughty" and a "nice" quest line... BraumBraum is one of my favorite characters and I ended up going the "naughty" quest line. How Amumu is that? :(

Riot, can you take away my quests and let me try again?

Mega Malboro1 votes

If you are going to bring normal urf back. Why not reward people for trying new champs. Like playing the same champ in two games of urf doesnt give you XP? or something hindering like that. So if a feller wants to play Jax every game he can. But its basically for naught.

Nemesis? Or is that just a long forgotten game mode cause people only know how to play OP or meta champs...
