I was happy about URF Mode returning...

Then I saw the problem champions weren't disabled. We all know who they are and why they were disabled before. I didn't think it would be that bad at first, especially since most of them received special balancing. Perhaps it will be tolerable now to have them in the mode!

...I was wrong. So wrong.

The special balancing is hardly noticeable at all and hasn't stopped everyone from picking the same cheese champions. That's a clear indication they need to be disabled, not balanced.

It's not possible to have fun in this mode now. Everyone picks the same cheese in every match because there aren't enough bans, so no diversity like before. It's frustrating to play against and takes all the fun out of it, and I really don't want to have to lower myself to their level just so it can be a level playing field.

It was a very poor decision to not disable them.

They nerfed them ahead of time so they wouldn't have to disable them. Probably the only champion that isn't OP there is Yasuo, because he doesn't scale off CDR or use mana anyway. How would you feel if your favorite champions were all banned just because they were good? That would suck. Riot is looking out for you, try not to spit in their face for it.

You are wrong OP. Every champ is OP. I only played 3 games: Teemo, Yi, Annie.

Teemo

20 Shrooms
MARKSMAN so much faster autos which apply poison
Q is up every 2 seconds so if you keep spamming Q the enemy can NEVER AUTO ATTACK YOU. Let that sink in a bit.

MasterYi

Q is up every 1.5 seconds or so and allows you not only to deal AOE damage but to dodge EVERYTHING, even tower shots
If you get a single kill or assist, your R is ALWAYS up. ALWAYS. Did I say ALWAYS?
No mana so free heals/shields VERY often

Annie

Stun is up every 2 seconds with rotation spam. As close to perma stun as you can get in this mode.
Tibbers if not killed is ALWAYS up since he is on a 24 second CD and lasts for 45 seconds...you do the math.
With flash up every minute she has possibly the best engage in the game now.

On second thought, I'm going to post this on a new thread.

That's a lie, I'm having a ton of fun.

Everyone picks the same cheese in every match because there aren't enough bans, so no diversity like before.

I see a ton of diversity. You probably do too, but aren't able to see it due to the psychological bias caused by one or two bad games out of every five.

Only 9 champs were permabanned last time, so you can still ban up to 6 (depending on who the banners feel)
