ARURF should replace the regular mode at this point I think. It's basically just a normal game but faster and interesting.

Disagree but I do think it should be available semi permanently, if not every day then on weekends. Sometimes I want a dumb joke mode but still want to be on summoners rift.

An article came out saying this mode makes people quit the game altogether. Seems strange they pushed this instead of you know, just giving an xp bonus or free clash tickets.

Everyone1 knows this is the correct list of most fun2 to least fun:
URF > ARAM > ARURF > Old TT > Dominion (Music On) > New TT > SR with Halloween Ghost > SR Team > SR Solo Queue > SR Flex > Dominion (Music Off)

1: With 11 entries it's guaranteed that literally no one other than myself agrees with this.
2: Casual.

I barely remember old TT and that makes me a little sad.

I think ARURF is more fun than regular URF outside of a few bad champs, because in regular URF you have a Yi in every game.

Hot take: I can’t stand URF of all sorts because against a certain set of champions you just don’t get to play a game. You just explode instantly or don’t get to move until you die or both. It’s a little better if everyone is playing out of that subset but then you have the problem of a solved meta where only the champions that prevent the other guy from playing are picked.

Hexakill on TT is still my favorite feature mode. It’s high conflict and has enough weird interactions to be novel while still resembling an actual game.

I do appreciate that the special death animations are still enabled in URF tho.

Effectively, yes. They described it as a "hangover effect" because people playing the game would spike in population and then the "quit rate" would double.

listen, its 2018, weezer did a cover of africa, and people want to play this featured game mode. but more over, they need to push more featured game modes that play with the format. i want to see a co-op hack and slash dungeon crawler with limited characters where you get items and fight bosses and at the end it tells you how fast you completed the mode. that would be so fun

I liked it a lot, honestly. I've always been a sucker for hero defense maps like that.

Erdricks posted:

She sucks on ARAM, mostly. She's a short range ADC with a utility ult who mostly wins games by farming enough marks to come out strong in the midgame, something which you can't really do on ARAM.

She's a dedicated jungler with mechanics that require the jungle and pretty much just doesn't work outside of Summoner's Rift playing jungle. Same with Ivern.

I'm kind of surprised she isn't disabled on ARAM tbh.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

Erdricks posted:

Kindred is perma-stuck in the very bottom tier in ARAM since their passive doesn't exist in ARAM, and the ultimate effect that makes everyone inside of it immortal is completely counter-productive on a map with a really small lane.

As far as the champ in general? Gimmicky ADC Jungler who's nearly impossible to balance because they've got to be really strong to be playable to justify low utility and gank pressure.

The changes they made to Kindred is overall my least-favorite champion trajectory. They used to be this short-ranged hyper-mobile early/midgame invading, gank-heavy jungler, but the designers decided that it was inappropriate for a ~marksman~ to fill that role because ~marksman~ was a role for late-game carries. So they shifted a bunch of power away from skirmishing and toward late-game hyperscaling.

Instead, it seems like Graves is filling the space that Kindred was designed for.

A big part of their problem is the ult. It's powerful, but insanely difficult to use; it makes thematic sense with the kit, but doesn't fit the gameplay of the champion at all. I would replace it entirely.

kindreds ult seems cool but it is awkward as hell, if i had to replace it i would make it an ult which makes wolf turn into a giant spirit and drag people towards you slowly(they can move side to side, but not away from you, and slowly get pushed about 300 teemos towards you over the duration if they try to fight it) in order to make her more of a ganking jungler and to make wolf seem like less of an afterthought. it also helps mechanically push the theme of the inevitability of death that the lore is all about

Honestly they should have used Warwick's "blood scent" W mechanic on Kindred instead to represent Wolf.

Vlad does nutty loving damage with electrocute. It's a bit misleading because some of the damage is delayed (ult) but holy gently caress once you get up to 600ap you can seriously dumpster an entire team.

Just decided to play him randomly to switch it up and it's sort of nice to be able to play a hero that scales. Draven is my tried and true but it sucks to get outscaled.
