does matchmaking in aram even exist? i have really serious concerns since i have like 1600 total games played in aram and i would like to have some good team mates but i literally get absolute trash on my team that doesnt even play aram. im so sick and tired of this bullshit, why is this allowed for me as such an advanced player to get this dog shit of a team THAT DOESNT EVEN PLAY THIS MODE SO MUCH LIKE I DO? it doesnt make any sense to me. im so mad right now that i literally made this thread to complain about it.

There is matchmaking in ARAM. I have 8k ARAMS (wins+defeats) and most of the people I play with are also people that play tons of aram. It doesn't take into account number of games but ARAM MMR though.

Edit: I just checked an MMR estimate and you will need to win a lot more to get quality matches mate. MMR estimate for ARAM

alright so what does that mean? that im after 1600 games on the level of someone who has never played aram to begin with? what kind of bullshit is that supposed to be? do you have 70-80-90 perecent winrate in your 8k aram games or something? because im missing the part where i get my promos in order to climb up .

Well, your winrate must be bad. And that, in conjunction to the fact that you are playing vs other players with low mmr and losing to them means you are near the bottom of the ARAM barrel.

No, you are not on the level of a fresh account, you are far bellow that level, I think.

My winrate is hardly good, I barely have 100 more wins than losses, but all my games are with people of similar MMR, many times higher than mine so, when I lose my MMR doesn't tank as hard.

P.S. I don't understand your comment about promos. Promos mean nothing MMR-wise. They put you a division higher if you win but your match quality depends solely on mmr

Welcome to ARAM.

The gamemode that's LITERALLY impossible to balance because the mode is balanced around RNG.

Quick answer: yes, matchmaking does exist and so do good team mates. If anything, from where I am, I would say that I am the "trashy" one in the team when I feel tired. Not my teammates. But again MMR position may matter.

It has no match making at all I got matched with a challenger on my team as a level 30 before.

There is, but it's just as awful as Normal matchmaking. It usually matches people of VERY different skill levels together, and usually one team is far better than the other one. Have a look at op.gg, if you want.

Still, they just keep saying that everything is fine and "working as intended".

Yes, ARAM has it's own MMR. Check out https://na.whatismymmr.com/ you can see ranked normal and aram mmr.

Yes it does. You have pretty low MMR

Ouch you ARAM mmr is in the 1200 region, you'll have to reach a higher mmr to have reduced chances of stupid happening. I'm approx >1800mmr and aspects save you of you get me playing yasou. I've ended up flashing into a soraka silence trying to ult or my R key might as well be broken half the time.

I guess your in the region where people try predator hecarim/nunu if they get those champs. Only predator that works is malphite... Oh and maybe skarner.
