Urf Mode Upcoming?

Urf mode will be back [eventually ---- although I don't know if it's for certain if Riot will re-release it on its anniversary, which is on April 1st). Riot has always "revamped" all re-released Featured Game Modes ---- look at the second releases of One-For-All (the second release made it so that both teams got the same champ) and Hexakill (the second time it was released it was played on Twisted Treeline).

Now, how will they "revamp" Urf mode? Will they still keep the same Urf mode buff (80% CDR, bonus move speed, etc etc)??

Or will they "nerf" the buff (decrease the stats --- essentially making it a "mini-URF" mode)?

Or will they just nerf the previously Banned URF mode champs (Sona, Soraka, etc.) specifically for URF mode games (like how they nerfed Zilean if you played him in Urf mode --- I think they nerfed his W on URF mode)?

It would be a shame if they nerfed the URF buff and lowered the CDR from 80%.

Or do you guys think they will just re-release it as it was last year (nothing changed at all)??

Note: If URF mode is intended to be re-released on its anniversary, which is April 1st --- which is in like a month, does that mean that it will be the next Featured Game Mode to be released (considering we usually wait 3-4+ weeks for another Featured Game Mode to be released after the previous one has just ended --- Nemesis Draft just ended)?

Will they put it out on PBE to test the "balances" of URF mode? Or will they just simply do it spontaneously like last year (again, with no changes to the URF mode)?

Will they just straight out ban the champs from last year (like they for Ryze and Kassadin), or will they "revamp" URF mode this year?

What are your thoughts about this?

The only way it would work for a permanent mode is if they released it and not touch it afterwards, URF isn't supposed to be balanced and is crazy fun even if you lose.

If i was part of riot i'd create another temporary balance team to tweak champions that were just insanely OP to the point where you couldn't or cant stop them like Azir who would have like 200% attack speed lvl 1 (i think), yorick, ryze, and kassadin. i'm forgetting a few I think but you get what im saying.
