Disaster during New Ultra Rapid Fire upload!

Riot·Mar 30, 2015·5 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?

Instead of URF or NURF, we got FUR. Every champion is in a fursuit and just yiffs all game.

It's awful.

You guys should actually implement NURF after URF ends. I'm sure a lot of folks just want to try it out of curiosity.

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.

You forgot Rammus and his ninja skin (he's still praying for that energy)

Vellich0rApr 1, 201572 votes

except this time it was red bull. red bull gives you wings. There are 6 champions with wings, two of them (corki and azir) only technically have wings. 6 divided by two is 3. there are three champions in the game with names that start with E (elise, evelynn, and ezreal) Two of them are female and the third might as well be (Taric loves you bb) Taric is also basically female, and is obsessed with gems, gems sounds like gyms. Doctor mundo has a skin that involves throwing weights, which are found in a gym. Doctor mundo regens health quickly, who else is quick at something? Rammus. Rammus uses powerball to go fast. Gotta go fast? Rammus : OK. OK has two letters, there are two champions with a charm: ahri and her ability of the same name, and urgot with his handsome good looks. Urgot was played in the LCS URF match last year and was considered OP, Urgot has recently risen to power in the LCS as a viable pick. Coincidence? I think not, and here is why, Urgot sounds like URFgot, as in URFs-got to come back. In other words, URF mode confirmed.

BraysonApr 1, 20155 votes

Almost. Hyper Kinetic Position Reverser is a suppression, not a charm. 9/10 for effort though.

ParanoidNocApr 1, 201530 votes

He was speaking of Urgot's innate charm not an ability.

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.

A disturbance in the URF you say? This truly is, a dire time for us all.

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.
