Making URFWICK Available Again!

Starlight Storm··36 votes·3,075 views

Hey Guys!

I just wanted to take some time and express an idea I had about a way Riot could incorporate Urfwick into the upcoming rework. I know a Rioter had commented that they were looking into options into incorporating Urfwick and Grey Warwick into the game again.

_ This would be very similar to the Championship Riven thing they did this year for worlds _ **For all current owners of the Urfwick skin they would receive: *** A Golden Urfwick skin (Maybe even make it a choice like a Chroma on whether you want to use the Golden One)

  • They could include a special recall/ taunt where he could emote some sort of Urf reference
  • Maybe even a free Urf Icon to commemorate the coming of Urf

**For all who want to newly purchase the skin they would receive: *** The skin that is currently unavailable now Urfwick

I think that this would be a good way of honoring Urf and the Urfwick skin while still keeping the antique portion for all those old timers.

Let me know what you think!Warwick + item 3157 = My Dream.

This is actually a very brilliant idea. A unique chroma for original owners of the skin is just brilliant. It gives you access to the skin as normal, or a way to show off that you're an original owner, on top of the loading border.

Can we stop making everything gold?

Aside from that, i wouldn't expect it. Championship riven for some reason had a whole lot of hype compared to other limited skins (excluding pax tf i guess). I'd love to see riot squad Singed come back. aswell for judgement Kayle and King Rammus. Well atleast warwick has a chance cuz he gets an update.

They didn't being back Young (nee Human) Ryze, and I doubt King Rammus would return either. Both of those skins are rewards for helping the game at its start - Ryze for buying thr collectors edition in store, Rammus for being in the Beta. Granted, I feel that the population of gamers who actually own these skins is microscopic, and I would like it if Riot did bring them back in some way, even if they had to make the originals more special. Young Ryze looks fucking kick ass, and it's a shame no one will ever see it in game. As for Judgment Kayle, she was an end of Season 1 reward, so she exists in a weird area, because it didn't take much to get it, you just had to play some games.

As for Urfwick, I feel like it exists like Riot Singed - both were initially forays into unique skin lines, and yet both skin lines turned out to be not nearly as limiting as they were. All Riot skins but Riot Singed are legacy skins, and are obtainable via Mystery Gifting and Hextech, and then we all know that the April Fools skins are not legacy at all, which means that these two skins being locked away is just antiquated.

Exactly, I understand the 2 people still playing that have the rammus skin wanna feel special but it's kinda dumb when a skin is pretty much a legend. The Singed skin is probably the biggest BS out of all tho. It was limited on release and you had to go to an event if i'm correct. I didn't play league back then, I don't live in america either. Then it came back the next year, in the store. Then it never came back. And if they wanted to keep it exclusive, instead of giving us the Riot Kayle skin for 10y Riot they should have given the singed one, or atleast made it available. 10 years is a long time, it would be like the first time it was available in 5 or 6 years, and you actually would need to be there at the time.

I think that it would be cool seeing the URF event had a Golden Theme I believe 2 years ago where we had the golden draven head icon, it would make the skin really POP and allow others to own it

If he would get some Golden VFX and like an emote + recall in the Theme of the URF login we had a while ago. Sure.

I'm just so sick of everything being turned gold. As a kid i never understood why people wanted Golden guns in shit like CoD. The moment Overwatch released Golden Guns i pretty much smacked my face against the wall "Competitive Reward" my ass. Imagine if they'd just zhonya's a champ for the end of season reward.

Imagine how many people would be pissed if they'd only give the original owners the tail back.

ugh, no. stop. you missed it, I missed it, deal with it. I'm still unhappy with how they handled championship riven, oh cool a little crown you can barely see and ZERO change to the artwork (aside from that dumb border) ALL they had to do was give original Championship Riven owners a chroma pack for the skin that's inaccessible to people who didn't play S2. Gold, Red, Pink, Green championship riven's would be dope. Whiners get the skin re-released, and the OG owners actually have a tangible in-game difference, everyone wins. But nope. little crown that's 3 pixels wide.

As much as i'd like Riot to bring back old skins, i get the vibe they are trying to bury Urf and hype around Urf. If i was feeling sassy i would say it's cause they hate when people have fun, but really Urf's horrible imbalance makes it a really unhealthy and frustrating gamemode to keep long term, and we've seen Riot slowly try to make Urf less prevalent in League's history.

I personally would LOVE to get my hands on those two Warwick skins considering that I own all of his skins besides those two, and if Riot does try and bring back URF WW, I think a good idea would be to do what they did when they originally released URF WW, donate all that they make from that skin to Manatees, except make it a highly priced skin, like an Ultimate, so it would still be a bit more rare, and then refund all current owners of urf ww the RP they spent on it. Honestly, I wouldn't mind too much if they never bring the skin back since Big Bad Warwick is a thing, but it would be really cool to get that skin.

I personally like that they don't bring some skins back. Even the ones I wish I could get. It is that little bit of charm and is a little special to the players that got it during the said time.

However, if they was to bring back these 2 skins, I wouldn't mind as much as long as they did something for those original owners. Getting some exclusive chroma would suffice for myself. At least then we would still have something special out of it. I would still prefer them to not bring some skins back, but I don't make the rules so I gotta go with the flow lol.

I would agree with this if they hadn't been bringing other skins back. I missed out on Urf the Manatee but bought Definitely Not Blitzcrank thinking it would never be available again.

I do think the more achievement-based like Silver Kayle, Young Ryze, and King Rammus should never be out, though.

Bump. Want rioter to comment

I'd rather not, I'm still a little bit salty that they re-released championship Riven and they did the bare minimum work to make her original one stand out, I think they should've at least given her a special recall to match every single other championship skin that came out after. It's just gonna be half assed if he does get re released, leave him be

Not sure if I like this or not, even though I could still show off with the unique chroma. I just don't like the idea of limited skins being made available again (looking at you, Championship Riven). Just like it would be kinda lame if people could suddenly purchase my Young Ryze (Human Ryze), Silver Kayle or UFO Corki again, not to speak of Black Alistar.

But IF this was done I'd really love your idea with the unique chroma's.

As someone who owns quite a few "rare skins" I say why not. I don't own Urf Warwick, but it would be nice especially with it being updated. This goes for basically any skin that is considered Limited Edition still. Except with the Victorious skin as those are reward for rank play. Basically anything besides that should be legacy. They basically don't even do limited edition skins anymore so why not?

If you guys agree with me make sure to bump on reddit for visibility and maybe we can get a Rioter's attention! https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/5r5414/making_urfwick_available_again/
