Does the New Mark/Dash ARAM feel like the mutant of "One For All" Lee Sin To You?

I know the new mechanic is based off Lee Sin. My point being, why did they add this summoner. Beyond the flat brokenness of the mechanic on such a small map-(which has quite literally sucked all fun I had as an original ARAM player away). When I say complete brokenness I'm referring to the pool of winning team comp combinations. In my opinion its not growing the pool of successful comps, its actually shrinking them. When champions don't even get to play like their supposed to .. what the point of playing them really?

On top of that, I feel we've only achieved the same game mode of last year's "One For All" and just everyone is a turtle that rolled into some freak mixture of TGRI ooze and Lee Sin DNA. Some suck with the new summoner and some are OP with it. Why are people defending the summoner that quite honestly has changed this once incredibly fun game mode if you knew how to work together(yes sometimes matches were incredibly one sided but thats all modes) into a Boring Variation of One for All. Champion Diversity RIOT!!! Don't forget your comment that your rubbing in everyone's face. How is everyone being Lee Sin promoting Champion Diversity. (I know is is mainly for SR but come on!)

All Random Means Exactly That- ALL RANDOM!!! Not everyone be some freak variation of Lee Sin. If your going to insist on this broken mechanic be a part of the game at least provide some comparable variable mechanics that will at least make someone think twice about asking for a different summoner. As it is, as a staple summoner on such a low cool down, its really just the most boring game mode I've ever seen. We've changed a diverse game mode into a variation of Frogger(for those trying not to get tagged) and a lame 2D shooter with better graphics than it should have.

ARAM was not meant for balance and ARAM with mark/dash takes any semblance balance that was there and says to hell with it. You can't balance champions and items on a map with a summoner that just doesn't tailor to all champions in remotely close to the same way. Please Riot, get rid of this broken and abusive mechanic so we can all enjoy ALL our champions again.

Before ARAM actually had some skill and teamwork involved. Any more its completely about which champion you get and how badly you can abuse this mechanic. If you want mark dash.. then please lets just remove the random and make everyone an assassin or tank. Those are the only ones getting anything off this.

Its not new. Its a spell from poro king event. It has no business being in aram.

It like adding 80% CDR to Ranked.

Well, I mean, I get to play Shaco and have him not be super awful. And champions like Garen can actually close the gap instead of being zoned forever... well, except, that takes away the one thing you need to survive Garen anyway: Kiting. You can't kite a Garen with snowball because it's an unstoppable gap closer. The range is positively absurd too. When you're a kiting mage, and someone can just bypass all your zoning with a no risk high reward snowball, it feels bad.

Not sure how you would have problem with shaco. I've seen him chunk people down like mad on ARAM.

At the very least this needs to have a significant cooldown. Why couldn't they just make the snowballs visible like bard mechanics and be able to be fought over by both sides and be picked up in order to use. At least that would have a sense of balance and impose a sense of risk.

Bruisers just got Warmogs. Snowball is just excessive.
