A neat idea for the next time you play urf

InsaneSamurai··11 votes·1,985 views

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!

I can imagine it perfectly fine, it'd be just like normal games.

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.

Yaaas, love Diana.

She's so much fun in URF. Even in normals. <3

I just love it when people choose Katarina, thinking they're gonna go God-Mode on everyone. Then, bam, Diana! MY LANE--

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

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

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.

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.

I had a ton of fun with Nautilus, Rammus, Galio and Vel'Koz

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 got called no-skill OP by an ezreal and a yi yesterday on syndra, after i hit 5 consecutive stuns on yi coming out of alpha strike. it was hilarious.

Syndra + item 3042 + Max amount of Dark Spheres = Death

usul12021 votes

Does it proc on that?

aaronconlin1 votes

When you ult it procs on each sphere

Levyathyn1 votes

The holiest of shits.

usul12021 votes

Huh. i thought that only procced on AA's. although, is it worth the AP loss?

aaronconlin1 votes

Auto-Attacks and Single Target Spells. And yeah, but only for the ult

usul12021 votes

Have you seen any numbers on if it's better for just the ult to get item 3042 over item 3040? because the pure AP versus the extra power on each hit would be an interesting consideration.

aaronconlin1 votes

I had it calculated out before but don't remember the numbers. Basically if you have a halfway decent amount of mana your ult will do a ton of damage since each sphere procs the passive and if you have a few spheres it does a ton

Aria Valkyrie1 votes

You can always do both. I know that i do that while playing Ryze. You just gotta let one of them transform before you get another item 3070, so you can start getting stacks again. at that point, you have a massive mana pool and get a large boost to your ap and your ad. Only problem is that this can take a VERY long time to do, since you need 750 stacks for each, but if you get item 3043 first, you can quickly stack up item 3003, since it gets stacks faster. worth it in the long run, but not if the match is gonna end quickly (i haven't gotten both up at the same time very often, the match usually ends before i complete the second one on normal games)

aaronconlin1 votes

Yeah doing both makes the damage insane especially on Ryze with item 3027 and item 3025 / item 3110

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.

Aych Pii1 votes

Bard's alright, though. if you can catch someone near a wall you can perma-stun with Q.

WESTFALL1 votes

It's so hard to die in urf with Bard lel, you can juke for dayz with the magical journey ,and you can heal yourself while also getting ms

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.

Vladimir is in no way underused...

Levyathyn1 votes

Ah, my bad then. I've only seen him once, and been him once. I'd have probably used him more myself, but I don't have Soulstealer until it goes on sale. =\

Kholdstare131 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.
