Ultra Rapid Fire (URF) is a fan-favorite game mode that is available only for a few days of a calendar year in League of Legends. In this mode, every player starts with a flat 80% cooldown reduction, and the abilities don’t cost mana/energy.

The feature of having almost no cooldowns and no need for mana/energy makes certain champions overpowered in the game. This is the reason Riot Games changed URF to All Random URF back in 2016. Instead of selecting your champion, ARURF randomly gives you a champion in the draft phase.

Fizz also has great burst damage, so he can instantly delete anyone from the map.

The menacing champion is almost impossible to defeat in URF. Jax’s kit has both utility and damage, which makes him optimal on every front. Apart from being a great duelist, he is bulky and has great base stats. His ‘E’ ability allows him to avoid damage, and it is on a very short cooldown. His ultimate makes him tanky so he can sustain for a long period.
