So... Allow Bans On ARAM ??? Then get a random pick?

Seen a lot of complaing about ARAM and unbalanced notion. I've also been doing a lot of complaining. So I got to thinking how can we solve most peoples problems by enabling such a simple feature on the ARAM map especially with those few champions that are just crazy over the top for such a small map... Here's looking at you Galio, Wu Kong, Soraka...Lux?.

Rather than nerf the hell out of heals and champions. Why don't we just open up a quick ban phase before the random champs are allocated. This way, we don't have to deal with those crazy op champions for the mode but at the same time we still get the good feeling of random. For the most part there shouldn't be a real issue with peoples champion pools as we are unlikely to ban everything from the free list.

I think knocking off the 6 top OP champions would probably solve a lot of peoples frustrations at the few ops out there or at the very least the banner could take turns alleviating what bothers them most. This is not going to make the teams fair, but at least we can remove the top 6 champions that seem single-handedly win the game.

Hate to break it to riot, but since snowball there are more OP champions than there used to be. Once every 5 minute flash/ult from Galio used to be tolerable.. but the 30 second jump in ...sacrifice that person to the Galio god is a bit over the top. If we have to deal with snowball can we at least have the opportunity to knock out some of those crazy edge cases that benefit the most from it before random picks are allocated. I don't think that's asking too much and honestly I think it could do the mode a lot of good.

I'd rather just always have one reroll available at all times. Then be allowed to build up to 3 instead of the current 2. Too many times someone is out of a reroll and its a team full of AP with no tank and an Evelynn

I lost a game with a Sona on the team today so the random skill of your teammates offsets any imbalance anyways. Plus it would not be cool to have a perma ban meta like Poro King had.

If the champions are hard-core insane for the mode then I don't have a problem with a perma-ban. Perhaps it will get riot to look at peoples opinions of the champion on the mode.

Personally, I'd rather have a perma-ban and a healthy game with fewer champions ( who if they carry a game actually take skill and teamwork) than have to play against the likes of these champions consistently knowing that there's almost impossible chance my team can compete. I should not 'know' I'm probably going to lose because my opponents have a particular pick. There's always impossible combinations on ARAMs. But that's it...there combinations which require a team effort....not individual champions.

I don't mind losing to skill and good team play. But there's nothing fun about losing "CONCISTENTLY" because of one particular champion from game-to-game.. None whatsover.

I think Legend of the Poro King was fine. It had an evolving ban phase. Yes, there were a few that quickly zoned in as OP picks and starting seeing a lot of the ban wagon. But sometimes someone wanted to play one and it'd get let through. At the very least the person banning got to enjoy one game where the champions they didn't want to be harassed with were off the map. They could in fact at least enjoy one game in peace.

But guess what, the champions that were giving people trouble on Poro King are likely the same ones that are giving people trouble in ARAM. So why not include a little alleviation. When its your turn, just don't ban the OPs.

They literally just need to make it actually random.... We still dont have the random part to ARAM yet currently its make a smurf and stack the op's so MASASTO

At least with bans we could cut down on some of the SMURFs. There are always decent champs on ARAM. But very few that are oppressing enough to outright win it by themselves consistently.

Theres only a few outrageous comps. Crazy dive. Crazy heals...and crazy poke. 2 out of the 3 can reasonably be played around if you know how.

The mode is just for fun. Take it easy.
