Recently on the PBE server, the development team brought ARURF mode back after URF had a brief reunion earlier. And it is expected that Riot Games will launch this mode early next year.
Hi folks! We’ve enabled ARURF for testing on PBE!
ARURF, not URF?
In a recent /dev article, we talked about why running URF was probably going to be a one-time experiment. Put simply: the results from that experiment aren’t in yet. But we still want to deliver some rapid-fire fun in the meantime, and that’s why we’ll be turning on ARURF early next year.
New Stuff
The Rise of the Elements is upon us, and ARURF is no exception! The Elder Dragon no longer rules the roost, and the elemental dragons are back in force.
Elemental dragons:Spawn at 4 minutes Respawn after 2.5 minutesDragon Soul effect is doubled Have increased Max HP, increasing further as the game goes on
Like Summoner’s Rift, Elder Dragons will appear after the Dragon Soul has been claimed, and grant the same execution buff.
We’ve done another balance sweep, including new champions (hi, Aphelios!), and we’ll continue to tweak ARURF the same way we do ARAM, with a goal that every champion has a winrate between 45-55%.
ARURF is enabled on the PBE now, so hop on and let us know what you think!
ARURF is currently being tested on the PBE server. The official server has not been revealed by Riot Games, but it is expected that the mode will be launched in version 10.1 – the first version of the 10th season, and also the time to welcome the new year 2020.
