Another ranked ARAM request

I'm sure these posts occur every few hours throughout the day, and here's another one! My rationale being: a player that's totes supreme with one particular champ is lovely, but a player that can rise through the ranks and become top dog with ANY champ shows much more commitment and all-around skill. You're boss with Thresh? Awesome. What about when Thresh isn't an option? What about when you're stuck with Evelyn? Can you still dominate? THAT would be a much more impressive feat.

I think it would be fun to actually be able to see how good you are at ARAM. And that's what playing League is for, to have fun. So why not?

Aram is completely RNG based and not skill based in any sense. This is coming from someone who's played 80% of his total games on ARAM

If ARAM was to ever had a ranked system, it would have to have all champions unlocked for it. Also as people mentioned, it is heavily based on RNG to really have a ranked system anyways.

The Ranked ARAM we will ever have is "The Poro King" game mode that comes out every once in a while. Everyone plays long ranged champs or champs with serious burst. So it doesn't really make a lot of sense to make a ranked mode for ARAM because it doesn't show ANYTHING except your chance at winning at a champ you've never played before.

In ARAM it's more about which team rolled a more cohesive team comp than individual skill.

I'd personally like to have a draft mode for Howling Abyss. I want a higher level of strategy on that map.

Ranked ARAM would be great, and most of these complaints are baseless. RNG wouldn't invalidate skill in ranked because ranked uses a ladder system, and the impact of RNG is minimal when considering a (large) number of games on said ladder. RNG would be a concern in a tournament setting with a small number of matches, but that's not what we're discussing.

Of course, there'd need to be a few topics to sort out (e.g. bans, rerolls, promos/placements), but the concept itself is sound.
