Tips to remember when playing URF

URF has an entirely new feel to it than normal games of League of Legends, and here are some things you should remember.

Ultra Rapid Fire (URF) mode is finally here and everyone is having a great time.

Unfortunately, we haven’t had URF in over a year, and that means there’s a lot of things people need a quick refresher on. There are numerous tips and tricks someone could tell you when explaining what you need to know in order to enjoy URF, and these are four of the most crucial ones.

1.) Purchase items accordingly

You have to remember that URF is a different beast than what is normally played, and that means itemization is going to be a bit different.

With URF, mana and cooldown reduction (CDR) shouldn’t be on anyone’s mind when purchasing items. The passive from Sheen is nice, but that would literally be the only thing you are buying it for since you don’t need the mana or CDR it gives. Is that passive worth over 1K gold? No.

Make sure you are paying attention to what items you are getting. A lot of us act like robots and buy the same items on certain champions every single time, and that could hurt you in URF.

2.) Always run teleport

Summoner spells have such long cooldowns that there’s basically no reason not to run teleport. The advantages it gives you are far greater than running heal or ignite (you’ll still always want to take flash).

And besides, teleporting everywhere all the time makes URF a whole lot more URFier.

3.) Play the URF meta

This isn’t one of your promo games to get out of Bronze. This is URF, and URF is played differently than your normal try-hard games.
