Disaster during New Ultra Rapid Fire upload!

Riot·3/30/2015, 6:43:28 PM·5 votes·92,414 views

Around midnight on the east coast, a powerful surge thundered through our upload servers. Despite the disruption of even the security cameras during the incident, we were able to determine that a boisterous celebration of the upload’s success was interrupted when an energy drink upended over the upload terminal.

Whatever the surge’s origin, whether nefarious or mere misfortune, the result is the same. The only existing copies of New Ultra Rapid Fire perished in the flames, and, while only time will tell, it appears that the uploaded version has transformed.

We believe the servers will be back up and running around 10 PM PDT. Did a digital version of New Ultra Rapid Fire survive, or did the spilled energy drink exact a greater toll?

waaaaait... Energy Drink. We drink energy drinks to make us feel energized, or in other words faster. NURF mode was a slow version of normal games. Spilled energy drink makes it run faster. URF mode is a faster version of normal games. URF mode confirmed.

I felt a great disturbance in the URF, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced. I feel something wonderful has happened.

We are all excited to find that when we sign in its a 1v1 chess match with normal pieces replaced with champions, like ashe and tryn.

summoner 6 Just remove that 3v3 and put URF as a PERMANENT mode. Simple like that.
