In direct connection with the URF Tier List from yesterday, this post is meant to describe in greater detail the Top 10 most fun/interesting URF champions. Although in URF mode anyone can be powerful, these champions really go above and beyond to take insanity to a whole new level.While these champions can still be effective on the rift, playing them in Ultra Rapid Fire mode gives them a brand new life, reborn as something far greater than they ever could have been on the rift.

1. AD Malzahar
With the reduced mana requirements and cooldown on the rift in URF mode, Malzahar can spam voidlings to his heart's content while building pure AD. Additionally, the enhanced cooldown means that he can duel anybody in the game after level 6 with his insane suppression combined with a massive army of voidlings.
Leaving this guy alone for more than a few minutes in a lane easily means a dead turret or two....or three...

2. AP Xin Zhao
Utilizing the insane cooldown reductions available to him on URF mode, AP Xin Zhao is given new life. Sporting decent AP ratios on his battle cry heal and his AOE burst damage on Audacious Charge, AP Xin Zhao can duel almost everyone in the game that's damage or poke based, provided he doesn't get CC'd first.
The low cooldown on his charge also makes him insanely sticky, and allows him to dispatch popular squishy champions like Ezreal.
3. Evelynn
Some of you might be wondering what Evelynn's doing so high up on the regular URF mode tier list, Personally, I would have been a bit skeptical too if I didn't see it in action. With her insane damage and kiting ability, she clears jungle EXTREMELY quickly and has enough sticking power to dismantle enemy champions before they can react, even against highly mobile enemies.
She also does very well against any slow based champions, as she can easily dodge or remove slows via her Dark Frenzy on short cooldown.
4. Karma
Karma is one of those champions that you play in solo queue and think, "Wow! She has a great kit. If only she was a bit more reliable with her skillshots..."
Well on URF mode, with massively spammable moves, this dream becomes reality. Her kiting ability goes through the roof, and you don't have to be nearly as frugal with your ultimate empowered spells.

5. Shen
With consistent shields, super low cooldown Qs and constant Taunts, Shen is extremely good on URF mode whether as a normal Shen or the infamous full AP Shen.
His ultimate also allows him to get into more fights more often, which definitely adds value on a map where everyone runs teleport.

6. Kha'Zix
URF mode Kha'Zix brings back memories of Kha'Zix in a past life. With his massively spammable nuke, he makes his way back onto the rift as an insanely mobile spellcaster and still a very strong 1v1 duelist that can throw his Q out an absurd number of times in a single battle.
7. AP Tryndamere
Yet another champion that's come back from obscurity is AP Tryndamere - with his ridiculously strong sustain and obnoxious escape/gap close mechanism, Tryndamere can be an absolute terror on URF mode.
He still doesn't do as well against super mobile poke champions with CC, but can still do very well against many team compositions.

8. Bard
With his high mana costs, Bard is somewhat difficult to properly utilize on the normal map. However, in URF mode, he becomes an INSANELY fun champion that epitomizes everything players thought when they first read his kit description. Check out the video below for a great example of what kind of shenanigans you can pull from level 1.
9. Skarner
With insane sticking power via slows and his passive stun, Skarner is possibly the most obnoxious champion in URF mode. Combining his sticking power with his shield means that not only is it almost impossible to escape him, it's also very difficult to hurt him in the first place.
10. Nautilus
Lastly, we have everyone's friendly neighborhood Spidernautilus! With the short cooldown resets on his hook, he can hook from wall to wall in stylish fashion. This combined with his shield and CCs makes him extremely difficult to escape from and extraordinarily difficult to kill.
