Mark in ARAM

Snowballs in ARAM, a troll-free analysis

Mark (or let's face it - Snowball) is meant to fix a problem - poke is OP in ARAM. The link leads to a detailed analysis (complete with win % for champs, dodge %, etc.) into why the Poke is Real. This is exasperated by smurf accounts that only buy ARAM champs. The problem with Mark is that a) it has a 15 second cd if you're a tank and pretty much nonstop diving and b) it is true damage (how are ppl overlooking 200 true damage every 15-20 seconds?), unblockable by shields (windwalls, etc), and has an absurd range - far beyond that of any poker, even Ziggs.

For the sake of balance, please make it 1 minute CD (w/ no silly refund) and change its range to slightly longer than a Blitz grab.

It's so easy to dodge though.......... The thing is slow as balls, and can be used as great bait if you're smart about it, because it separates the engager from their team. It is an incredibly high counter-play mechanic!

Yeah, the cooldown really has to go up. 1/min sounds fine. Also the colour should be looked it. There are parts of the floor where it just blends in and are hard to see. I don't mean make it hot pink so every can see it, but maybe a darker blue.

200 true damage at level 18 isn't a whole lot. 1/10 HP max.

But why isn't it blockable by wind wall? This ain't poro king that makes no sense!

Honestly I think 60s with 45s if you use it is fair.
