ARAM Reroll Cancel/Revert/Unroll

Wouldn't ARAM be more fun if you could revert a reroll if it's worse than your original choice? Let's say you have Sejuani , but enjoy playing ranged champions more than melee, so you reroll hoping for something more fun to play:

WOOPS! You got Udyr , one of the most boring/bad/frustrating ARAM champions. You didn't even own him! Damn free week.

Now you're stuck for 20-30 minutes+ playing a champion that you don't like who's extremely ineffective. Sure situations like this are supposed to happen sometimes within the ARAM universe, but would allowing that player to revert their reroll back to Sejuani REALLY take away the randomness of ARAM that much? Instead of choosing only 1 out of 125 or w/e it's now between 2 out of 125, and you really don't get much say at all in the grand scheme of things. Who else agrees?

edit-rant: I think the main issue is that the feeling of pressing a button in hopes of avoiding a sub-par 30 minute gaming experience only to box yourself in to a terrible one is just not something that needs to be part of a 'fun' game. It's like the worst kind of gambling. You can only gamble 1-2 times, you have the potential of making your situation worse, and there's nothing you can do to revert back to your less-awful situation if it is worse, and you've used up your chance of avoiding that situation in the next ARAM game.

If they did that, then it should cost you your second reroll, and not be available if you don't have another reroll. Then again, if you have 2 rerolls going in, you might as well just reroll off the second champion and hope for the best.

No. If it would depend on my opinion I would even remove the reroll option. Most of the time when your team gets a "bad" comp people reroll 3-4 champs, and sometimes 1-2 more with the second reroll. And suddenly you have a real good comp. Just think about it, how many ARAMs have you played where there wasn't a single ranged champ? Probably not a single one, yet the chances of getting such a game aren't that low. The only reason you never see such games is because of the rerolls and thus, in my opinion, ARAMs are flawed enough already by rerolls (and ARAM-only accounts, but that is another topic).
