Random Champions in ARAM

Why is it that I can play 10 ARAM games and get the same champion or see the same champion 3 times in that time span. Can we make ARAM random enough that I get to play all of the champions I own before playing the same one twice? Or seeing the same champions over and over?

Im with you

Time ago i send a MP to Riot because always the same champs and they said that Aram is 100% random...

I have my doubts

I love Aram for me the most fun mode but i was tired of always fiddle, annie, nunu, soraka, udyr, garen ...i have lots of champs and that is fustrating...

Since some time back it looks a bit well for me ...lets pray xD

I don't think it's random either. I roll Mundo ten times more often than Braum.

Beat me to it, ARAM isn't 100% random. I swear i got a Kayle in my team 4 times in a row and the last one someone left champ select. and out of my last 15 ARAM games, there was a Jinx in 5 of them, 5/15 ?? that's 1/3 of my games with the same hero.

I mean, it is possible for randomized selection to produce a lot of repeats.

I do, however, believe there is more to the algorithm than they let on. I not only get tons of repeats, but I always get at least 4 of the 'Free for the week' champions in the lobby. It is like clockwork and they 'magically' never return the following week.

I 'get' that they need to sell champs/skins to keep the game going, but don't say it is 100% random when it would seem there is at least a LITTLE something more going on under the hood.

I wish they did something with re-rolls as well that wouldn't let you re-roll the original champ you rolled on. I've RR'd then RR'd again and gotten the original champ I RR'd on.

I would also like it to not allow a champ you have played in the last 5 games or 7 days (in the event you haven't played 5 games in the last week). I can't tell you how many times I've RR'd and its like oh...Rengar...again....

I'm like 90% sure the system is skewed to favor the free week and more popular champs (by looking at how many people in the team own the champ), probably to maximize the number of trades possible. Granted based on statistics the more popular champions will be seen more often because more people own them, so hard to tell if that is truly the case. But I definitely feel like the system puts more weight into the free champs.
