Hi, and welcome to our LoL URF Tier list! In this guide, we have rated each champion in terms of viability, so that you can pick only the best URF champions in every League of Legends match.
Since the release of the URF mode in League of Legends, we’ve had a couple of questions about the best picks for this game mode. We wanted to take some time to answer those questions and give you a tier list of champions who are great in URF.
The first thing we want to point out is that it’s impossible to say which champions are best in every game mode. While you might be able to win with any champion in URF, some champions will be better than others depending on what your team composition looks like, your role, and your basic understanding of how to play League of Legends.
So what makes a good pick? A lot depends on which role you’re playing and how well your teammates fill out the rest of their roles.
This tier list is a ranking of all the champions in the URF game mode. The champions are ranked from best (S tier) to worst (F tier) in terms of how well they perform in this game mode.
Update: URF mode is not in rotation anymore, instead you should check out our ARAM tier list to see the best ARAM champions for this meta.
Changelog (November 16, 2022): We have updated our URF tier list to reflect the latest changes in patch 12.21 meta.

What is URF?
URF stands for Ultra Rapid Fire, and it’s a super-fast game mode that was added to the League of Legends client in 2014. In URF, all champions have 300 ability haste. It’s a lot of fun to play and watch, with players using strategies that are completely different from their normal games.
Because of the increased haste, the game speed has been accelerated to the point where games are typically over in just a couple of minutes.
URF Tier List – Takeaway
Our URF Tier List is a list of champions in League of Legends sorted by their viability in the Ultra Rapid Fire game mode. The list was created by us with help and feedback from the LoL community, for the community, and is constantly updated as new patches are released.
Because URF is a fast-paced game mode with accelerated use of abilities, the list is somewhat different from the standard meta tier list. Generally speaking, champions with strong scaling are worse in URF than they are in other game modes since they can’t take advantage of their late-game potential as easily.
On the other hand, champions who rely on abilities that scale with AP or AD (like Lucian or Katarina) fare better than usual in this mode.
We’re so glad you’ve decided to check out our tier list for URF. We know that this is a very important decision, and we want you to feel confident that you’re making the right choice.
As a friendly reminder, these are just recommendations based on our experience playing the game. You can choose whatever fits your playstyle best! If you’re here you should probably also check out our general LoL Tier List for solo queue and our ADC tier list.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about our League of Legends URF tier list, feel free to reach out. We’re always looking for ways to improve and would love suggestions from our community!
