URF, short for Ultra Rapid Fire, is a popular alternate game mode in League of Legends characterized by its fast-paced and chaotic gameplay. Originating in 2014, URF has garnered immense popularity among players for its unrestricted use of champion abilities without mana constraints.
Riot reintroduces URF sporadically, typically once a year, or occasionally twice, much to the delight of the player base. In celebration of the Lunar New Year, URF makes a comeback in Patch 14.3, offering players the chance to revel in its frenetic combat during the festive season.
With the addition of new items, this year's URF promises fresh experiences for participants.
