The problems with Urf mode this year

AAs do more damage than spells while going 10x faster (so much for spells being dominant in Urf when they just have to get in range and 2 shot you through any resistances at least with spells you can dodge them).

No champs were disable on release meaning:

Jayce Just spams Q through gates and 2 shots you under tower making the game no fun whatsoever. MonkeyKing We have nothing to deal with infinite invisibility reliably. Maokai Spams sapplings zoning you from the lane while chunking everyone and being near impossible to kill due to his dash and ult. Irelia I mean what CC and what escape? Kassadin His mana gate (the only thing keeping him from being a monster in normal games is gone) and has 80% CDR I wonder why he is a problem. Malphite 2 shots with ult Q by 3 items or 2-3 Qs. Nidalee See Jayce

Honestly it's hard to have fun when you have all the toxic champs being played while being super broken by having the things that made them somewhat bearable taken away.

Don't take it seriously, at all. Just play it for fun even when losing. That is why I enjoy urf even when getting destroyed, i can afford to do whatever I want and just have fun.

Riot came back with what alot of people like.... play a game with basically no rules...all holds barred match. games are quick and basically just a hack and slash fest. last year maokai could toss 10 sapilings, this year is 5....teemo last year was nearly limitless on shrooms....til he was capped at 20. there s no strategy, just plain hope you got the better game to bring. if you dont like it, play normals....there just a click away.

You forgot to mention Shaco

Constant Flash+Stealth+Free Crit with bonus damage, Boxes EVERYWHERE That dagger does WAY to much damage with literally no counterplay There are two. Kill one, you die. Kill the other, the last one kills you.

Personally, I think Shaco is more toxic and un-fun than god damn Teemo, wether it be URF or not.

... Oh. And don't forget Yorick Try just ONE game against him. Just one. He doesn't even have to be half-decent.

No mention of sona? I find sona super oppressive in this game mode. It's a 1 second cool down on her Q (and unlike other 1sec skills they never miss), so every three seconds she has a powerchord.

This also means she has a lichbane proc'd auto attack every second as well.

All you need to do is button mash q and you have strong lane harrass. Start adding in some AA's and you take very large chunks out of people.
