The Thrilling Conclusion to the URFitational

The moment we’ve all awaited longer than we even knew what it was we waited for... is upon us. We prepare to embark on a journey to the pinnacle of human endeavor. The two most prestigious clubs in gaming have clawed and clambered their way to the top of the most venerable, historic tradition of the modern age: the URFitational.
Fighting in the azure corner, having made their name dominating checkers play in the early 1800s but with their current crop reaping years of careful seeding in the field of League of Legends, the Ye Olde League Organization looks to continue their success with an URFitational crown.
And clad in crimson are the less-longstanding but not less-distinguished scions of skillshots, the Society of Worth Assessing Gentlemen. With their rugged history in stickball, they rely on the savage instincts that propelled them to just under the top. They’ll be looking to summit the mount with a victory in the final.
Join a veritable who’s who from the expert ranks of shoutcasters and our esteemed hosts as they break down all of the action directly from the secret location of the honorable tournament itself. Aim your FM receivers to lolesports.com on April 1 at 3 PM PDT and experience all of the deep strategy, innovative tactics, and smashingly slow gameplay the New Ultra Rapid Fire update delivers in the Grand Finals of the 2015 URFitational!
In the words of the traditional opening Thoreau quote of the URFitational, “I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to put to rout all that was not life and not when I had come to die discover that I had not lived.”
Am I the only one here who thought it might be funny to at least try one game on NURF?
no
RITO THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG... i swear if they really were doing NURF...

Disaster during New Ultra Rapid Fire upload!
Around midnight on the east coast, a powerful surge thundered through our upload servers. Despite the disruption of even the security cameras during the incident, we were able to determine that a boisterous celebration of the upload’s success was interrupted when an energy drink upended over the upload terminal.
Whatever the surge’s origin, whether nefarious or mere misfortune, the result is the same. The only existing copies of New Ultra Rapid Fire perished in the flames, and, while only time will tell, it appears that the uploaded version has transformed.
We believe the servers will be back up and running around 6 AM BST. Did a digital version of New Ultra Rapid Fire survive, or did the spilled energy drink exact a greater toll
Oh god... they really did completely disregard what the players wanted and made LITERALLY the opposite (which isn't even going to be fun... really now)... wow Rito... just wow...
To troll you ofc. I love butthurt people
I'm speechless. Riot is going this far for April Fools...
isn't it awesome? XD
A few years ago they released Lee Sin, i think that was a far worse April Fools joke.
I'd fav this comment 1 million times.
Remember the champion spotlight though?
Remember the Champion Spotlight for him?
I don't know what to make of this....
This is really trolly even for Rito standards
Is it bad that at this point with Riot I legit can't tell if it's actually urf or nurf?
Well if u take the capital letters of the team names, its YOLO vs SWAG. in other words. APRIL FOOLS! NURF is probabily going to be just URF with a twist (extra objectives/aram/howling abyss/crystal scarr) they wont change the mana/cd/as scaling etc.
I know they wouldn't change it, but Riot's tricky enough to fuck with us, even if it's just for one day and then removing things. Wouldn't be the first time.
yesyesyesyesyes
