So, BFS Starts in ARAM are Really Annoying

Alright. ADCs already have enough power in ARAM with their high ratio, low mana poke and self-peel, as well as their ability to build and function off of lifesteal. But this is just insane. Champions do not have the base stats to deal with 40 bonus AD at level THREE, and even less so when they have literally no option if they get away from a bad skirmish than to just sit under tower and dodge boomerangs while they wait for a health pot.

I'm sick of seeing Sivir every game. Players are intentionally mulliganing to get as many ADCs as they can on their team and they are getting super fed early while being nearly impossible to kill just from range alone. ARAM is where I go when I want to see enormous 5v5 team fights with lots of crazy magic damage, AOE CC and chaotic messes, not strategically organized peel while the same champions that dominate in SR stand back and farm/kill with no counterplay. Please, Riot, just make BFS cost 1550 in ARAM again. It has no downside to buying it early, gives you more gold and more kill pressure while being extremely versatile in build path.

Full-Marksmen teams are generally pretty weak to engage. If you've got a tank or two, you'll often be able to just run over the marksmen team eventually.

You can only afford two pots with a BF Sword start. Poke/harass will either kill the Marksman or just leave them too low to be useful.

not exactly

the tank thing I agree with because tanks have always dominated aram

but, what does need to be factored in is the reliable damage an ADC has

sivir has a 1000 range multi-target skillshot and multi-target auto attacks

jinx can spread her damage up to 700 range and her...I don't know what it is but it looks like a popped cork XD has 1600 range

varus has a 1600 range Q and can build ap to eat tanks

Caitlynn is the definition of ranged harass. once she gets to level 6 in aram, any enemy that gets low is a free kill

if the adc's snowball, the game is over

if the tanks hold out, the adc's lose outright
