When referring to URF, it is necessary to distinguish URF and Urf, because URF is not Urf, and Urf is clearly not URF. So, what is URF and what is Urf?
Urf the manatee
Urf is essentially a champion that has ever appeared. Urf is a manatee carrying the heart of a warrior. Urf admires the champions on the Summoner Rift – especially Jax, for his ability to fight with his lamp. Therefore, Urf equips himself with a fish – apparently stolen from the kitchen, and a cooking shovel – also from the kitchen.
And then Urf across the ocean, coming to the Alliance, hoping that one day he will appear prominently.
Urf even has a skill set.
Passive: Cho phép Urf đi nhanh hơn trên sông.
Skill Q: Urf changes between Fish and Shovel: Fish deal damage over time and Shovels deal damage immediately.
Skill W: Summons the power of the god Poseidon and gives allies a standard view of an area on the map.
Skill E: Causes Urf to immediately roll right next to the enemy and deal massive damage.
Skill R: Call a massive tidal wave, damaging and slowing down enemies.
However, Urf only appears on Summoner Rift for a short time, before disappearing forever and only remaining in the memories of Riot employees and players.
In the day that Valoran mourned the departure of the brave Manatee, Jax spoke up: “I really know very little about him, but really admire him. He is the only one in Valoran – besides me – who holds back his powers according to the Union’s rules. I have forever lost the opportunity to meet this wonderful fish and learn the miracles from you, all thanks to the grace of a cold-blooded person … ”
At that funeral, Warwick was not seen.
It is said that deep inside every wolf is always a monster. And because of jealousy with Urf’s power, Warwick killed him. Skin Warwick URF is the skin of Urf that he uses as a jacket.
But there was no way Riot would let that happen. Because if Graves’ cigars have been removed, such a prospect of death would not be possible in the Universe.
Moreover, it is probably just an attempt by Warwick to try to disguise Urf as a memorial service, as he had previously disguised himself as Grandma.
But the truth is that Urf is gone, his tomb is still in the Arena, and his image still appears in League of Legends Halloween skins. Many players have reported that they saw Urf’s ghost while fighting in the game.
URF – Special mode in LoL
URF – with all three uppercase letters – is the most popular game mode. This is always the most expected mode, every year there are people who want Riot to reopen this mode, but has been replaced by AR URF because “too unbalanced”.
And this year, the stories of URF came back, along with laughter, unforgettable moments, and the Manatee holding the Golden Shovel standing on the raised platform …
Why does Urf appear in URF?
Right now, we can only see Urf in a glorious way, most obviously in the URF mode avatar. All of his other appearances are in the form of ghosts: like Janna’s Skill Q or the Pool Party Zac effect …
We already know that the generals from the Shadow Isles are mostly spirits who rise from some pain, and they return to take revenge. It is very likely that Urf is one such case. But what are his revenge, when his killer is not necessarily Warwick?
All we can conclude up to this point is that Urf has died, in a certain battle, and he has not been able to leave safely, and always tries to come back again.
And the way he came back was obviously much brighter than Thresh, Hecarim or Kalista: Still with that shovel, but in the costume of a god, Urf fired a lightning bolt of power, given to all The champions in League of Legends special abilities. Perhaps this is a way for him to take revenge on those who killed him, maybe also thanks to the generals in League of Legends that gave him the inspiration of a warrior.
