A neat idea for the next time you play urf

Maybe try someone other than Hec, Nid, Shaco, Sona, Blitz, Zed, Fizz, Azir, Wukong deep breath Ez, Skarner or Maokai. Believe it or not, a bunch of other champs exist and are fun to play. On top of that, you might get to play games where the deciding factor isn't who picked the most OP unbanned champs, which is pretty fun.

That why this mode isn't permanent! Can you image how stale it would get months afterwards and still seeing the same champs over and over and over again! Don't get me wrong I try to enjoy the mode. And while I will use any champs I like to play. Seeing the same champs just gets boring. It's come to point now where I'll only play it if friends play because I can tell when I play with all random people it's the usually pick/bans!

That.

I missed URF last year and I gotta say that the novelty of this year wore off pretty quick. It gets really lame seeing the same champs banned/picked over and over again.

I haven't used one of those yet. I make it a point not to do that, because playing the flavor-of-the-month habitually makes a game stale pretty quickly. Would be nice if others did the same.

I'm probably one of the only people I've seen that actually play Diana Diana in URF. Like, seriously. She's OP as Hell. Why hasn't anyone else tried using her? Oh, right. She's often overlooked. All the time.

I've played half of those, but only once each. My other 30 or so games have also involved playing entirely different champions every single game. Picking a main for URF is no fun, it's much better to try everything and see what happens.

Only one I played from that list was Wukong one time, and when I did I went 15/5. After realizing how stupid he is on urf mode, it just wasn't even fun to play him so I stopped playing him. Personally I like champions like Talon, Ahri, Diana, and Anivia in this mode and seems I find the most success and fun when playing Diana lol

Ahri Annie Lulu are pretty good if you're skilled in urf, believe it or not :) I had a lot of fun playing Annie

I ran into a team comp the other day that was J-4, Alister, Maokai, Cho'Gath, and I forget their 5th. Every team fight: permanently knocked-up. Everyone. It was horrible. (Knock-ups aren't affected by tenacity either. So our Irelia was equally helpless.)

Still. This is the kind of experimentation I like to see in URF.

Have you tried Talon in URF? He's nearly broken past level 6.

Kholdstare134/6/2015, 2:21:24 PM1 votes

Yeah, here's the thing. Those ones you listed? They're not the most OP. They just somehow became meta picks.

I'll show you OP.

Alistar Ahri Leona Mordekaiser Anivia Annie Chogath Vladimir

And I have barely even tried 1/8 of the champion pool so far.

Also Malzahar, as stated, is a well-known and overpicked OP along with Urgot (tho 99% of people who pick them don't know how to build them).

Here's the other thing.

Items.

URF players are stupid, and their idea of "OP" is "I can't counter dis guy while building irrelevant glass cannon trash"

Here's a little gem for you: item 3364. Those annoying stealth champions? Yeah, this thing in URF gives you 10 seconds of true sight on a 15 second cooldown. Enemy has no stealth? item 3363. Yellow sucks on URF. You need to be mobile. Riot overbuffed this from last year, when it was already amazing. Now it can provide persistent vision for you on a tiny clairvoyance cooldown. Scout ahead for free, check all bushes from massive range. The only thing you miss out on is teleport targets, but you can carry a normal ward for when your teammates ask for one to go in on.

http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/GD/l3axGYl1-the-real-urf-ops I list a bunch more. Seriously guys, stop overpicking boring champs, and start using your brains for SIMPLE ways to actually win.

You only need the dunker, the rest of the champions are just fodder for pentas, anyone that gets close dies, those who dont item 3280 item 3140 item 3142 rip.

Part of the fun is taking a different champion and making them work vs the above.

Bard and Yasou are really the only two useless champions in URF. To an extent Thresh unless you have a team that can work well with him.

Cassiopeia Diana Leona Malzahar Orianna Talon Udyr Vladimir

Some of the most fun champs this URF. Underused, as well. And I have to say, Varus is just stupidly OP in this. That Q spam is ridiculous with the way the cooldown works now.
