Is URF all it's hyped up to be?
So, I started playing League in May 2014, so I never ended up playing URF mode. However, I've seen several videos and heard so much praise on it, with people constantly spamming Riot Games to bring URF back. But is URF really as amazing as people say? I mean, basically it's just a game on Summoner's Rift with no mana and small cooldowns. Yes, it's fun, especially when you're someone like Annie spamming every ability to burst down people, but in terms of looking at what the mode brought to the table, URF isn't that amazing. Meanwhile, there have been several modes this year that I had a lot of fun with. My personal favorite was Rise of the Ascended. I really enjoyed that mode because it brought a full-on brawl type of feel to the game, with big fights in the middle over who gets Ascended, while Xerath is shooting bolts left and right. But on Rise of the Ascended and multiple other game modes, many of the comments were along the lines of "Oh, this game mode sucks, bring URF back!", which I disagree with. The most prominent example of this was with Snowdown. So many people kept talking about how boring this game mode was and how URF was so much better, and I find that kind of annoying, because people are just measuring it up to URF and saying that it sucks because it's not URF. Tbh I thought it was a pretty interesting mode, especially when you land the Poro King and start taking towers. But people just seem to hate this mode along with so many others, and over time it's started to piss me off, to the point where sometime I'm kind of hoping URF doesn't come back, just to show that it's not the amazing revolutionary mode it's thought out to be. So I'm going to post a poll here, seeing what people think of URF. I more or less want to see if anyone isn't riding on the Hyper URF train. So if you want to answer, feel free to. If you want to post a comment, feel free to as well (but unless your comment is making a decent arguement, not something like "URF is best mode ever and Snowdown sucks so stfu", I won't respond). Thanks, and GLHF.
), you're kinda screwed. Now, don't get me wrong here, I don't absolutely hate URF, I'm just thinking maybe a. It's not the absolute best mode ever and b. give other modes a chance. So many times I've seen Bring Back URF spammed. Tbh I really actually hope NURF is coming out, because judging by the sound of it, it takes a lot more strategy than normal games, and one of my favorite but not often seen aspects of League is strategy (that's another reason why Rise of the Ascended was my favorite, I liked strategizing on how to get/steal the Ascension buff). Anyway, thank you to those who gave constructive comments below, since at first I thought I was going to get hit by a wall of hate. It's nice to see that people can enjoy URF without worshipping it, and if URF does come out tomorrow I will try it, since it does seem fun.
