If URF comes back, can it have a map like this?

We all know what URF is. You need no mana and some cast times are shortened to allow more competitive play. But if they bring it back, wouldn't it be nice to have it's own map? So, I thought that Zaun would be a fun place to play since it's a place for "no rules".

Zaun is a place for those who want to experiment without restrictions. It is also home to some of our champions.

The map in Zaun will be a little more crazier as it will have a strange new layout to show how carefree they are. It will be a destroy the inhibitor kind of thing again and will be a 5 v 5 just like any other but crazier. Monster's will be scattered in 3 select places and a major monster will be put where the red dot is. There will be 2 turrents on each side in bot lane and 2 for each side in top lane; plus 2 more to guard both Nexus and 2 to guard the Giant Gem.

or we can keep it original but with this look.

I'd like you to decide below.

Also, give some feedback because it might help. Also up vote so that Riot may put this as a PoTD or just to allow more to see.

Thanks for reading and lets hope that URF does come back.

IIRC, the top map is literally old Twisted Treeline, which was in Zaun. The red dot is Ebonmaw. Could be nice.

And the bottom map is Magma Chamber, i suppose, which would be pretty interesting, but the problem with objective control on URF (objective control such as altars or control points in general) is that certain champions would be better at capturing a point and then just sitting there for almost the entire game, keeping all the enemies away from it for the entire game.

So basically, let's just refurbish an old map? I like that idea. I makes making this new game mode a lot easier.

Map 2 Has alot more stratagy imo that can go into it, where as map 1 seems like a re-hash of TT (twisted treeline) i'd like to see map 2 be the Viktor

Map 1 IS Twisted Treeline. The original TT, before it was recon'ed to the Shadow Isles 2 years back, with a full rewrite of the map in the process leaving us with the current TT (Honestly, they should have just had TT, and SI, not remade TT into SI, but whatever).

The second one was the Magma Chamber concept art, that was scrapped years ago for no real good reason.

Magma Chamber was scrapped for exact same reason that new TT replaced the old. It is a terrible idea to have 2 similar maps competing with eachother for players. This is especially true for maps which already have a small population.

Also, making a new map is a huge, expensive project and Riot definitely isn't going to do it for a featured joke mode.

I do like the idea of URF being on a new map, and Zaun does fit with all its crazy experimentations and lax regulations.

I also like the idea of bringing back to the old Magma Chamber map for it. If edited, it can feel more like a city, with the "jungle" paths being the winding alleyways between buildings and the lanes being the main roads. Plus, it'd be fun to see things like explosive barrels or acidic pools of sludge laying around the map, fitting to Zaun.

What if... URF comes back on Dominion? Last time we had URF, I hosted Custom URF Dominion games, and they were quite popular even with people who normally didn't play Dominion. Having a queue would be sweet, but make sure to include bans.

Rew711Oct 31, 20141 votes

Yes, bans should be included. They were in the April 1 - (2 weeks later) of the games time in LoL, I would hope that they will come back.

In general, for me anyway, imagining drawn arrows of the direction where the two teams fight in top, mid, and bot, I feel like it could be confusing as there are many obstacles in the way (such as the walls). However, even if there are many paths in Map 2, the direction for top, mid, and bot are clearly defined. Furthermore, I like how the colors, turret and nexus drawings, and the arrows describing the direction of top, mid, and bot give a lot of detail for this map. I'd have to say Map 2 is definitely better than Map 1. That's my 1 cent.
