Players right to REFUSE gifts is needed.

This may seem like a rather odd request...but time and again people question me why I keep a very, very short friends list, or just humor them for the moment, and remove them the moment they log off...Several times over the course of my time playing league, I have received very much unwanted gifts...to the point where I have abandoned accounts entirely and started anew, leaving behind all my purchased champions and skins I wanted, simply because people wanted to either intentionally give me a champion they knew i hated or mystery championed me and i got one i hated. I'm not saying these people should be refunded by any means, a refused gift should be lost forever if refused, and even go so far as to put a gifting cool down or whatever to whoever refused for future gifting.

I don't see this drastically affecting Riots income from skin and champion sales, aside from perhaps people like me who get their account violated and feel the need to start over.

If this is ever implemented..hopefully it can be retroactively implemented...since certain Legacy skins have never come around again...

EDIT: I appreciate all the down votes from you 'anti-ARAM account' people, as you all tell me to stay out of your 'ranked-playing try-hard' posts, which I have never down voted, I knew when posting this I would not receive the same courtesy.

You can fill a support ticket to get content removed from your account completely. I got it to remove a weird set of runes when I end up with 10 of the same type

I do agree with this. I think there should be a toggleable option to accept or deny gifts from people.

There are a few champions that I outright HATE (shaco, heim, gragas) and I absolutely REFUSE to EVER play or buy. I would be downright furious if I received one of them from someone else.

Ever heard of "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth?"

O.o wow..first off, Vayne is ranged if you didn't know, a marksman at that...and if you haven't seen a bunch of the other forums posts, she can be kinda redic...esp so on ARAM where its just a single lane... anyways, Eve having trouble with wave clear? are you cereal? -- so just because they do not specialize in aoe ranged wave clear the are not optimized for ARAM? (TBPH unless you were just aced and coming back, the minimal wave clear is negligible unless you are on the ropes and have super minions coming at you) And you claim there is some MMR that actually applies to ARAM beyond level bracketing? Yeah...delusional...

I find it funny you did not put any Ionians in your list or even Kat or Garen for that matter...those ARE the terrors of ARAM, more so in hands of a player that is not first picking them up off free week. Something you are also forgetting, is the 'AR' in ARAM, while a shorter champion roster will give you better chances of getting what you prefer to play, that does not mean anything in relation to team composition balance, that change weekly. So you see, while "getting more of:" 5 squish classes say a full team, and then being put against a more balanced team or even a team with a couple tank/bruiser/jug types will get completely wrecked if they can't push, more so if they are all AP champs.

See the problem with people like you is you try to stick your pointless self-imposed meta in a game mode that has no place for any kind of meta. You think you have the slightest idea of what you are talking about but you really don't. There are 3 main factors that determine the outcome of an ARAM game:

Team comp/balance vs enemy team
The ability of the players
Prioritizing having fun, as should be done in any game.

The top 3 problems with ARAM are:

Surrender Option
Ranked-Playing try-hards (surrender @ 15, spam surrender and are dead weight)
Lax penalties for dodging (don't like the comp or who they got, demand others dodge so they can instantly queue again, rare cases where they will dodge themselves, worst case scenario they bitch all game, and are dead weight *see 2)
