Yet another idea to balance U.R.F and make it worth keeping

I've been reading a lot into what people like and dislike about U.R.F, and I've been looking at ideas to keep it. Here are mine =3 In order to make thing a little less one sided, adding more ban picks could help even it out. Each team at present only gets 3 picks, and in some instances its a situation where if, lets say, neither team bans Sona, in many games I've played both teams take Sona. That isn't because they want to, but in many instances because they feel the other team will pick Sona and want to fight fire with fire. If each team has say, 5 ban picks, it would allow more diversity in who is played, as well as make more OP choices a bit rarer. I've also seen a lot of people suggesting pay to play. I think a one time payment could work, but i disagree with some of the, pay for a day similar to an IP/XP boost. I think many people would be more than happy to hand over some RP or IP to keep U.R.F. I know I would pay a few thousand RP for it. I feel it allows people who can't manage mana and cool downs to have a bit more fun playing against other people, and it really is just a fun hectic time for everyone who wants it. Even if you can't keep it in match making at least keep it in Custom, and maybe allow Custom VS Ai in URF for those who don't have friends. Thanks to anyone who took the time to read this. I also made a poll to see if anyone thinks anything I said would work, I know sometimes I tend to get a bit non-nonsensical and wanted to know if I was making sense.

I dont mean to be a downer but the game mode is just for fun and really would lose its appeal if it was always here. and as a for fun game mode you shouldn't really go in being super competitive (not to say that thats you) just enjoy the chaos.

I agree with the bans. There's always cases of ten champions that most people who play URF could pick off the top of their head to ban, and free up diversity a bit. I know exactly what you mean, as well, with feeling like you have to pick the same. I often feel that way about Katarina or Zed if the enemy team specifically doesn't ban them. And with the added diversity, you could be sure an enemy team who didn't ban a specific OP champion with that much room to probably had intent to pick that champion--or at least more sure than with 3 and 3 bans would get you.

i voted no only because the community has been crying for more ban picks in ranked for many months now due to the now very large champ pool and that hasnt happened either.

so naturally the chances of it being enabled for URF first are "less than zero." Velkoz

My problem with URF is the tremendous amount of dodging going on.

How about for diversity, if both teams lock in the same champion. That champion is banned. ( up to 2 extra bans with addition of 25 seconds each ban )

More bans, yes, but p2w? No.

Just perma ban certain champions with stupidly toxic play patterns like they did last time

Galio If you've seen a Galio in URF, this needs no explanation Shaco Honestly his perma stealth shiv spam is just one of the stupidest things in the game right now. Even when using the appropriate trinkets to deal with him, the amount of true vision downtime (which you only get at level 9) is too much MonkeyKing Same as Shaco

I haven't seen Fizz, so I can't speak for him and I feel like Vlad's pool is not strong enough to warrant a perma ban simply because you can get away from him, but that's very, very debatable of course.

TBH I don't see any of the other champions as being worth a perma Sona Can be bursted down, so I don't have a problem with her being there XinZhao This champ makes me want to pull my hair out and if it were up to me, he wouldn't even exist in any mode... But I think he can be dealt with Zed Is super fucking obnoxious, but I'm still hesitant to put him on the same tier as Galio, Shaco and Wukong Leblanc Same as Zed Evelynn Deals so much damage, but she can be exploded too. Also with the right picks (Lulu being a prime example), playing her because exceedingly difficult Katarina She's really strong, yet so straightforward, I don't see her as being particularly annoying Ezreal I mean you know what he does, dodge his shit and that's it Jax Haven't played versus one yet (I'm at 30 games)

But yeah, I still think the mode should be temporary

Perma ban those 3 fuckers and I would be really happy

If it becomes pay to play it would be in IP. There wuld be SOOO much backlash if it was RP only. Plus it goes against most of Riots values, all of the stuff you pay RP for is either cosmetic (skins, ward skins, Icons) or a fast unlock to something you could buy with IP anyway.

Also They need to put more bans in period. There are two more champs worth of space in the little ban box, use it.

To be fair, the game should have 10 bans ANYWAY, with the number of champions.

Draft ban could give each player 1 ban in draft style, 10 bans in 6 steps. (R ban 1, B ban 2, R ban 2, B ban 2, R ban 2, B ban 1)

We could also add a "blind ban" style for blind draft modes. Each team selects a set of 5 bans at the same time. After they all lock them in, both lists are revealed and merged into 5-10 total bans.
