It's not just RURF that's spiked in Toxicity. Every game mode has had, at least in my experience, a massive uptick in people just giving up after the first [insert bad thing] happen to them. It's either that or griefers, afks, trolls. It's been bad, but it's never been this bad where I'm throwing a report every four or five games bad like now.
@@lothertower3610 Thats cause the PVE game modes (Aside from SR with bots) werent around long enough, and they didnt offer any rewards, or chances at rewards that were worth it enough for people to get toxic. IF PVE had some kind of useful, substantial reward, you would see a meta form, as players would try to speedrun every game to maximize their efficiency at farming it.
that is true but i would argue against you saying all game modes, cuz from my own experience at least aram has some of the most chill players (although there are definitely bad apples) most of the time people are chill, i legit once played a game against a trio and they were doing a challenge of whoever dies 3 times takes a shot, it was so fun talking with them and all teams were having fun
Griefers AFKs or trolls? I shit you not that has not been my experience AT ALL. Bad players playing bad =/= griefers/trolls btw. Hardly any AFKs on either side either. I've also played a fuck ton of URF this season. It literally hasn't been any different compared to the past. The biggest problem I see in URF is people treating it like ranked and trying their absolute asses off in order to win the game. That and toxicity. In like 300 games I maybe had 2 people MAX that genuinely trolled or griefed and wasn't just simply bad at the game.
I'm not saying you are doing it on purpose but a lot of people associate bad players as being trolls/griefers. However an actual troll/griefer is night and day compared to a bad player. I'd much rather the 4 other players on my team be bad players then to have a singular troll. Because trolls might not necessarily be bad at the game and if they aren't they know exactly how to throw the game into a completely unwinnable position.
The only problem is when they removed all the cool items you didn't get in normal league, many weren't even that strong, but they were fun. Now we just get Spatula.
It was fun except the times when a First Minigame would spawn on the jungle. One of the teams just doesn't get to play if that happends and feels fucking awful.
Realistically this is the same thing that's happening in every Riot Game at this point. The reason it's more apparent in URF is because everyone queues against everyone in much more compact/fast games. Toxicity is a huge problem but so is the competitive problem everywhere. Crappy situation
@@NocturnalPyro I played lor for 6 months and I never saw anithing toxic, but is hard to be toxic in card games, the only way is bm emotes, roping or playing azir-irelia.
The most frustrating thing in urf is anivia. You max w and you wall mid so no minions can go through it and when a large enough wave amasses then you stop using w and let a billion creeps swarm mid
I feels like Skooch are one of those outlaw peoples who's trying to broke the Riot's match making system every so slighty by using brain and crafting theory.
Tiger stance Udyr in urf is literally just the "I win" button. Your tiger stance immediately applies the burn damage if you reset the burn and its on almost no cooldown in the first fight so you get fed off the first fight by people who think "Oh its just an Udyr what can he do?" then you build your sheen into Triforce and just run around the map killing everything while taking barely any damage cause Tiger into Turtle into Tiger spam. I usually go Triforce, Steraks, Deaths Dance, Force of Nature and Bork/Frozen Heart.
Lethal tempo taric has infinite stun similarly. If you reactivate his stun while there's another still charging, it applies instantly. So if you just keep autoing and using e, they literally cannot do anything in a 1v1. Take stride breaker for attack speed plus some durab8
@@canadianwarrior8868 bro every mage counters crit thresh, it's not even good. on URF full AP thresh is way better, since u have 0 cd on Q and E, and literally one shot everyone except tanks, try out next time
@@bellheader or a Teemo; remember when riot banned Teemo on normal urf because he can spam ult and point and click blinds? Well now he's in every other game
arurf should have banned champs before rolling the dice and this would help a little bit, with the ammount of BS champs only 1 ban per player is not enough but at least having a peace of mind that you can garantee to not face 3 tryndamares on a row every day is better tan nothing
Im just gonna say it- URF (and ARURF) are toxic because the playerbase is entierly split on what it even means as a gamemode. Some people think it is there to be some hyper-skilled outplay mode, where everyone is running at 100 miles a minute. Others (such as myself) just want to have fun, and indulge in the unique shit you CAN do in URF as a mode.
it depends on the champ, if i pick something like warwick ill go for long ults with fast builds, jhin? fast build as well. gp or teemo? nah im gonna try one shotting
The best "I win" combo I've found in URF is Heca+Yuumi. Once Heca hits lvl 3, he presses ghost, E, and Predator, Yuumi spams her E, and Heca's passive + Yuumi's bonus AD from W make Heca deal INSANE damage. With some more movement speed items you're a racecar on the rift, and Heca can both deal and tank enough damage that nobody can stop them. It's fun to play! Though I can't imagine it's fun to play against...
Agree, especially augments in Odyssey allowed for so various playstyles and when you thought you found most op set up, people were rocking something more op.
even on odyssey people found how to be toxic, specially for the missions on the higher dificulties people would often tilt and flame anyone who wasn't using the "optimal" augments or champs leave any game long enough on the sun and toxic competitive people will suck all the fun out of it, min-maxing everything just to win more easily and faster than others at the expense of enjoying the game because winning is the only thing that matters apparently, when that people do their thing they are closely followed by the leaches who just want to win without effort so before playing they look up guides and cheat sheets to win just as unfairly as the toxic competitive assholes ruining the experience for even more players, those are the ones who flame and go afk after a single mistake because "it's a waste of time" hell people started dodging, surrender spaming and going afk on URF
Totally. I would take the occassional Odyssey type event over the visual novel shit ANY day. I skip all the cutscenes and go for only freebies. 0 fucks given to them. Same with the new years event, spirit blossom, etc. No more visual novels please.
Here’s a Galio build I’ve done in urf; Galio’s biggest weakness is his CD’s. All of them excluding his passive are in the double digits, and it’s why he can’t go things like Conqueror or Riftmaker since he can’t usually reliably stack them… USUALLY. This is not a problem in urf obviously, and in this mode you can build those two, plus a demonic and full MR tank on Galio to be an unkillable CC heavy fighter with tons of waveckear and damage. Not to mention the DR on W is permanent and scales with MR and AP. And the passive CD is lowered in urf and scales with the same stats. Conquerer->Triumph->tenacity->coup Absolute focus->Nimbus cloak Riftmaker>Demonic>abyssal mask>Merc’s And finish with an additional MR and Armor item of your choice. I reccomend Thornmail and Force of Nature.
That's a nice argument, unfortunately ACTIVE: Jax enters Evasion, a defensive stance, for 2 seconds, causing all non-turret basic attacks against him to be dodged. Jax also takes 25% reduced damage from all champion area of effect abilities. Counter Strike can be recast after 1 second. And: UNIQUE - SPELLBLADE: After using an ability, your next basic attack within 10 seconds deals (Melee 12% / Ranged 9%) of target's maximum health as bonus physical damage on-hit, with a minimum damage equal to 150% base AD and a maximum damage against monsters equal to 250% base AD. If the target is a champion, Heal for (Melee 6% / Ranged 3%) of the target's maximum health (1.5
Two things that make urf really unfun : turrets having negative resistances (meaning if some people decide to split push they can easly take all turrets in 20 seconds) and long ass death timers (50 seconds at 15 mins ??? Also enemies can just end in 20 seconds like why is it so long)
Just lethality Vi, since knockups are not affected by tenacity, you can literally kill them during the time they're unable to move with R + Q, and even if you don't kill your Q will be coming again super fast again so it's really easy to chase and keep the person in place, it is really fun (For the Vi, not for the oponent-)
My greatest urf creation is movement speed trundle, where you go all movement speed runes, ghost, and shurelya’s into yuumuu’s into all other ms items. The playstyle is to max pillar and then do nothing but run the fuck around knocking enemies and allies up, accomplishing nothing and making all nine other players hate you. Bonus strat: have a pocket Yuma to be faster, have more ms, AND the ability to actually deal damage. Very fun but got nerfed due to predator changes.
A thing I made in URF was Lillia with Ludens instead of liandries. Ludens gives constant movement speed bursts that almost perfectly link between each of your Q's. Not to mention that her passive procs it as well. In fact it procs the Ludens burst twice. Afterwards you can just go whatever (like demonics/rabbadon/cosmic drive) and enjoy your permanent hyper speed and insane damage
Yeah ,until you face anyone who have range burst ( vel), unlimited cc ( morgana, taric, gragas,..) ,poke or stun from 3 screen away( sydra , miss fortune,..) or champ that literally solo you 1v1 ( late game kayle, trydam,...)
I've never been an urf or arurf fan. For me super short cds aren't fun, I miss the fancy double jungle minigame one. Now that's a featured game mode right there
my favorite build for URF is "hard to kill rat" Step 1 - Get Ziggs and go Flash/Ghost Step 2 - Get best Movement Speed runes Step 3 - Max E in lane and watch as your lane opponent struggles to do anything as you zip past all their spells Step 4 - Type in all chat "Hard to kill rat" every time you avoid death.
7:20 Well, yes, but actually no. She was there, but all she could do was heal. But I guess that's why you didn't notice, since it was on the edge of the screen. LOL
I was minding my business, playing some ARURF and people were really toxic and shit talked the entire match. So I got Nasus and tried this method. Thank you Skooch, I found another way to ruin people's games.
Shaco in general is probably one of the most frustrating things in urf. Just constantly going invisible, throwing clones and little deaths-in-a-box toys.
Going full ad or lethality with Akshan is the funniest I've done. Literally took down a squishy enemy with just all the shots from R. And the wave clear with Q is insane. Proc is also strong, but for urf, lethAkshan is so fucking fun to me.
I really like running Lillia in URF. Just basic build (liandry, demonic embrace and ap or tanky items depending on the game). Q on minions to gain speed, roll a ball at enemy for slow, w for half the healthbar and q while running away. Repeat. Just nonstop bullying from a deer. Love it
Taric in urf is the most fun thing ever if you build one attack speed boots, eclipse then full tank. I also tried once with the collector and worked really well. Then go in lane, hit one e auto attack resets your e and just spam e auto and they are stun locked, and you can spam it on towers too so you feel like machine gun. Using your q to heal is great after fights but not much worth in the middle of killing someone cause they can’t hurt you and even if you did it’s slower then e cause of the animation, and you basically heal nothing compared to a 400 stacks nasus XD so just use e UwU
It's ridiculously funny that we both have been destroying URF games with Nasus. Though I've been using what I call "Ripped Teemo Nasus". Liandry's, Demonic, Rylai, Lich Bane, Rabadons and Cosmic. With all of these, a Conqueror page, ghost, flash and midlane, Nasus shreds tanks, has a high HP pool, can stack as much as he wants, meaning he one shots real quick, and deals massive amounts of dps because of the burns. Best of all? Not even exhaust is enough to stop him, because he outlives and heals it with his Q. Not even Teemo himself compares.
Its nothing too fancy or special but in URF i love going Phase Rush Garen with Trinity Force and Deadmans. Rest of the items are up to preference but its just really funny ghosting up to people at mach 10 and essentially 2 shotting them with a Q+R
another fun urf/aram build is on-hit ww he deals so much damage its actually kind of impossible to 1v1 him, not to mention you literally one-shot squishies with how much damage your ult will deal i actually got one of my only pentakills on aram with it lmfao
My favorite thing to play in URF is sunfire Alistar mid. Going aftershock, scaling and tenacity runes + building tank makes you unbeatable late game. The low cooldown of your w makes lvl 1 easy against any champion and getting lvl 2 usually means you getting a solokill by knocking your opponent into your tower. You should max out q first.
I miss the star guardian maps because you have to work together. I didn’t meet a single toxic person while playing that game mode because they wanted to get through it.
Favourite URF thing is definitely AP Kai'Sa. Not as the AP build that used to go around but only tons and tons of AP and W max and basically ignore the other abilities (Q is 'okay' but you should never be that close to enemies). Most people forget that Kai'Sa gets vision when W hits, meaning when they try to back due to the poke you can just keep shooting at them and late game 2 W's is a kill 🙂 Sadly, W's AP ratio got nerfed a bunch after AP Kai'Sa was a thing in ranked, so I don't know if it's as powerful anymore, haven't had the chance to try it out since.
It's not possible to do it alone but fiddlesticks and nasus is the most hilarious -frustrating combo because you can fear them and then ramus will make them follow him and that makes the victim go wherever fiddle and ramus want
The only mode that I really enjoyed plkaying over and over in league was Dominion. After the removed it I burnt out on the game pretty quickly and haven't played since 2017. URF was pretty fun though. Hide and Seek with friends on the Dominion maps with friends in a private match was super fun too.
I think the worst thing I've done in ARURF is Omnivamp jax. Riftmaker into Rav hydra into Maw. Spirits Visage because you hate magic damage + More omnivamp heal, then go for Hullbreaker or Death's dance. This build literally makes you nearly immortal towards people during ult. Runes are Conq, Triumph, Legend Tenacity, Last Stand (In case you get low for any reason) and secondary is Unflinching + Conditioning. If you got space for potions at late, grab the Tenacity potion and I assure you that you'll be even more of an issue than before with 70%+ tenacity
I love playing Speedcarim in ARURF, it's super fun even if I don't win every game with it. Horsey go Nyooooooom. Also, amazing use of the Master Duel music, editor!
The most fun i've ever had in URF is with Zilean. Harvester, FON, Deadman's, Zhonyas and GA turn a senile old man into the embodiment of death crucified to a clock
I should try that I usually take crown to be annoying asf, rabadon for the fat bomb dmg and ult heal and dead man's to zoom around the map and to keep up with allies i speed up
I love using Zilean in URF. I feel like a master conductor and me team is my symphony. Speeding up and ulting my heavy hitters while bomb harrassing like a maniac. I rarely pass up a chance to Zilean.
The thing that pisses people the off the most is singed rammus. Basically you go in their base and continuously tank all the ccs and the enemy will never be able to push and get plates and also they’re forced to ignore you since you can outrun them
disco darius is pretty fun to me in urf so here it is run hail, cheap shot, eyeball, relentless for your primary and celerity, absolute focus/gathering storm for your recondary build would be duskblade, collector, essense reaver, IE, DD, swifties
Skooch I reccomend this greatly, Assassin Camille Duskblade or Eclipse, berzerker greaves, essence reaver, bloodthirster, I.E., and any flex item you want (i like maw if you didnt take eclipse Runes are: Electrocute Sudden impact Alacrity Eyeball collection Coup. Treasure hunter (or whatever it is) All this together scales hard and ends up letting you do over 1000 true damage in 1 empowered Q
I like to do this, but with the added bonus of giving the enemy the chance to play the game. I just write in chat "let me stack and we chill" , I don't attack them, but do fight back if they come at me. And if they keep doing it, suddenly they will find all of their towers have mystically vanished
Shaco. Runes(important ones): Phase Rush, Celerity, Scorch. Demolish, Overgrowth. Items: Demonic Embrace, Liandry, Ravenous Hydra, Warmog's. You never die, and your traps burn for a million hp. Anytime you get low-ish on health, you Ult, Q away, drop a trap to dissuade pursuit, and regen all your hp in a few seconds, then come back and make them regret every decision in their life that led to this moment. Edit: Oh, and between your traps, your ult, and Demolish, you take towers insanely fast.
Urf is gonezo bonzo, but W spam jinx is a hoot and a holler if you ever play it. I even build it in ARAM and it's just so funny to watch someone try to outplay you when they are slowed by 70% every 1 second. You basically turn into AD xerath because of the range and high poke.
The most broken thing that we ever did is Volibear and all support literally was in there base after 5 min Mark tower diving and they can’t even go to their lane because we’re blocking it. They didn’t gave up and end up our minions pushing the lane because they’re no enemy minions to fight them. We never went back the only items we had are the starter items. The Champ we had was; Soraka, Zilean, Lulu, Yuumi, and Seraphine.
My favorite thing to go for in urf is shyvana with night harvester, lich bane, cosmic drive, Rabadons deathcap, one situatianal item, and sorceres's shoes. Why try this you may ask? Your E in dragon form hurts like usual. Lich bane and cosmic drive along with celerity for SPEED. and the main reason for this being late game when you have you Q max u can take down a full turret faster than the turret can kill a single minion. you do need a single minnion for max damage though, but you can also solo turrets without the minions
Well if Nasus is this bad think of Galio as a mini Nasus. Since his colossal smash applies to buildings and is permanently up, he can split push like crazy and then ult to help his team if he needs to. He doesn't take towers as fast but pretty quickly depending on your ap levels. Once you get Rabadons you just become the scourge of towers.
Not a commen one but if you manage to get ivern and build full ap you can spawn daisy and just take towers without any minions because you can have daisy permanently shielded with your E. (this worked last urf i havent tried it since but I think it still works)
Omg. Nasus in ARURF is hilarious. I always try to grab him when I see him. Ezreal is also really good in ARURF. Especially if you go Demolish. Really fun!
I am STRONGLY reminded of that one clip where the guy is screaming "NASUS NASUS NASUS NASUS NASUS!"XO Also I love that "Thats alot of DAMAGE" meme!}X>] ]
fiora with predator, ghost and trinity force into Youmuu's Ghostblade then full assassin is very fun . With build you can one shot people while also being way faster than them. At full build you can kill towers in 2-3 hits
zilean with Lichbane is broken, your e speeds you up so no one can catch you, it resets your lichbane so you just wiz around and just hit the turret while being n f1 car that cant be caught, and if the ydo kill you you have your ult up every like 13 seconds anyway so you just have to survive that long to never die, managed to backdoor without minions and win the game
Eh, my experience with any pvp game is that every mode devolves into something like this. "Here's a casual mode that you're never supposed to take seriously". _Hate spewing comments galore_ "Here's a mode for people to play casually, but still try to win." _People throwing games because it's not the serious mode_
My favourite that you could do was build Hextech Gunblade with Thornmail on tank Thresh and watch everyone kill themselves while you heal off their attacks.
Love split pushing but heard an interesting take that it's good Riot nerfed it indirectly and "buffed" grouping for team fights as split push is an annoying playstyle usually not fun for the 9 other players who all have to play around you splitting. Like ebemies babysit your push, teammates have to bait pressure or take objectives other side, not teamfight 4v5, etc.
