Ultra Rapid Fire Returns

In the dynamic world of League of Legends, a variety of game modes offer players diverse experiences. Among these modes, Ultra Rapid Fire (URF) stands out as a particularly popular option, drawing players in with its fast-paced and exciting gameplay. After nearly a year, URF has made its much-anticipated return, delighting its dedicated fanbase once more.

League of Legends continuously evolves with several permanent modes like Teamfight Tactics (TFT) and All Random All Mid (ARAM). Over time, certain modes fade away, while others reappear periodically. URF's comeback is a testament to its enduring appeal, as it joins the suite of rotating game modes within the League of Legends universe.

What is Ultra Rapid Fire?

Ultra Rapid Fire, often abbreviated as URF, is a game mode in League of Legends hosted on the Summoner’s Rift map. This mode requires players to fulfill the usual objective of destroying the enemy's Nexus, but with a unique twist—abilities have extremely short cooldowns, and mana costs are nonexistent. This setup leads to matches with incredibly powerful champions.

A significant aspect of URF is the random selection of champions, although players can utilize at least one re-roll to change their assigned champion in most games. This adds an element of unpredictability and excitement, as players might encounter champions like Karthus frequently using his game-changing ultimate, Requiem.

Every champion in this game mode has the potential to excel, but some stand out for their dominance on the battlefield:

  • Shaco
  • Ryze
  • Karthus
  • Teemo
  • Blitzcrank
  • Fizz
  • Zed

These champions can significantly impact the game, though the emergence of powerful surprise plays is always anticipated.

In URF, players can experiment with innovative strategies. For instance, the enhanced gold gain allows for more varied item builds, and the presence of cannons can quickly propel champions into the action. Expect to witness some champions soloing formidable neutral objectives like Baron Nasher, while others exhibit overwhelming control in lanes with rapid ability use.
