ARAM Bans

ALL RANDOM means ALL champs available. Not ALL(but 10) RANDOM.

And People keep queue dodging because they don't know what mode they're in. A helpful little pop up explaining the dumb new system would be nice. Just sat in queue for 22 minutes trying to get into a game from dodges, which happened almost immediately upon entering the queue.

Probably the worst update you've made to the game in a long time.

I mainly play for the random chance I'll get someone fun like Fiddlesticks and faceroll, and he is banned almost every time. (People should be banning LOW TIER champions so they don't have to get them and reroll or get stuck with someone useless.)

Thanks.

Thanks.

Blame all of the ARAM accounts that ruin the mode for everyone else. We wouldn't need bans or champion-specific balancing if Riot would just unlock every champion in ARAM and make the mode actually random.

Nobody wants to fight against Ezreal/Lux/Veigar/Karthus/Sona/Varus/etc. every single game which is why they're banned constantly. ARAM accounts ruin the spirit of the mode and they're to blame here, not Riot. (Well, not 100%, anyway.)

ARAM has never been truly random.

ALL RANDOM means ALL champs available.

Yet there are a lot of people who use ARAM accounts to get the best champions possible for ARAM. That's why the bans were put in place, because for years players have been complaining about ARAM accounts.

Yeah, OP is simply one of the ARAM account abusers.

A more simple solution would be to just make ARAM roll for all the champions, regardless of whether you own them or not. Riot hasn't done this probably because they think it'll affect sales of champions when there is the other side of the coin that would make people buy a champion due to never playing them before.

That's what the best solution would be tbh, and no need for bans. Fun fact, Riot was hesitant about making ARAM an official game mode at first because they thought it would effect sales in a negative way. It is true in a sense but it depends on factors and in this situation it wasn't true.

I agree with that option too but the reason why they're probably not implementing that is that there might be an increase in dodges. But also people might genuinely not know what the champion does/know what runes to take or what to build. And with the small window of time you're given you might not get time to look up a build/runes.

Trust me I like that option a lot more, but I think more problems would arise from that option.

With these bans, I have seen more dodgers than ever in ARAM. The point in ARAM is that you have to play new champs....

I have only seen 1 dodge in ARAM today, and I've played 7 games of ARAM throughout the day.

then you must be lucky, 12 games and at least half have had a dodge, some multiple dodges on the same set.

People keep banning all the fun champs so we end up getting garbo teams. That's no fun. I definitely vote to remove the banning from ARAM. Makes no sense to ban when you don't have preferred champ select prior, and that's not a thing in RANDOM. Open up more champs if "ARAM only accounts" are such a burden.

I dunno about all that.

I find that these matches have been rather intense with this feature. I find some are lasting much longer than the norm. It reminds me of the early days of alterac valley, there is no rofl stomping going on, we all have to work together and synergize.

Yes, I encounter many more dodges just to get to a match.

I just realized, Teemo is basically now gone from ARAM, I'm sad. He is actually fun there and because or Oracles not that bad to deal with either.

Anyone that knows statistics knows it's much more likely now for players that have every champion unlocked to get the bad champions. It's now a game mode exclusively for ARAM accounts or you're just going to have a bad time playing it.

Me and some friends completely stopped playing aram because the S-tier champs literally can 2v5 if the enemy team has just an average comp. There are enough fun champs to play in aram and there will be even more because they become better if some of the broken ones get banned. Definitely would keep the bans.
