Riot would you please remove the snowballs from ARAM, it creates a huge unbalance when champions already have a huge gap closer, it also makes a team full of tanks impossible to escape. It completely unbalances all aspects of the game where you before you relied on good skill shots now all you have to do is land a snowball from a long ways away to make huge plays. I am sure I am not the only one who thinks that ARAMs are really not any fun anymore!!!
I think they should remove it too, even with the nerfs it makes certain champions, whose primary weakness is no built in gap-closer, super broken in ARAM. Also the constant spam of snowballs that reveal targets hit by it spoil skillful ambushes and smart use of traps, shrooms, and other fun things.
If you looked at the PBE patch notes, you'd know that they're trying to make it more fair. They've already changed the damage, and now they're changing the range and the CD.
These threads are getting repetitive. I know not everyone checks the notes, but you can always look around to see if Riot is doing something about it.
It's being heavily nerfed on the PBE already. Cooldown is doubled, range is cut harshly, and damage for just the mark is significantly lowered.
No. The snowball range may be too long and the cd may be too short, but mark/dash made lots of champs viable and only a few truly OP because of it (not that there aren't plenty of OP champs on ARAM without it). The incoming nerfs should fix both the difficulty to respond and the stickyness of champs without gap closers.
Honestly, the snowballs aren't that hard to dodge in the first place, anyway. Now that they won't be able to be thrown outside of screen radius, they should be even less of a problem. As long as you are staying with your team and aren't getting caught out alone, you shouldn't have much of a problem with them after the nerfs.
