Ultra Rapid Fire (URF) Mode Tier List - 2015

Introduction

With the (re)release of Ultra Rapid Fire Mode, many of you are itching for a tier list discussion. As your host, I'm here to present to you the first ever Nerfplz URF Tier List!

A whimsical game of frenzied spellcasting, the game does indeed have certain champions that excel above others.

As this list is going to be quickly evolving due to the flexibility of the game mode, feel free to input your thoughts on how it should be organized. It's currently in alphabetical order.

Explanations

Galio [God Tier] - With a near permanent shield and movespeed, Galio gets a ton of free stats for essentially nothing. URF my!

Hecarim [God Tier] - With his insane movement speed and continuous auto attack enhancers, "Helicopter Hecarim" simply dishes out way too much damage, moves way too fast, and sustains way too high.

Jayce [Tier 1] - One of the most fun champions from an aggressive standpoint, the only thing holding him back is his lack of escapes. While it's fun to continuously shoot blasts over and over again, once someone gets on you he starts realizing that lacking an escape is troublesome.

Malzahar (AD) [Tier 1] - AD Malzahar is INSANELY strong on this map, as the low cooldowns and mana costs allow him to spam his voidlings extremely hard.

Lux [Tier 2] - One of the most popular champions in URF mode, Lux is surprisingly balanced for the most part. Again lacking an escape and having slightly more difficult to land skillshots compared to other champions, she has trouble with the sheer amount of insane mobility available in URF Mode.

Bard [Tier 4] - Not sure if he's "good" per say, annoying yes, good...debatable.

Soraka [Tier 3] - Soraka may be Tier 4 at this point as well. Since her rework, she isn't nearly as strong on URF. Her silence does allow for clutch reprieves from the onslaught of spells though.

Xerath [Tier 3] - Borderline Tier 4, Xerath can be very strong if he gets ahead, but honestly he doesn't do as well in damage terms as say Jayce since while he's charging his nuke, another champion could have shot 2 or 3.
