Draft ARAM should be a thing.

Imagine Draft ARAM, even simply as one of those weekend special modes:

Don't like Sona giving the other team immortality? BAN!
Don't like Blitzcrank lurking in your bushes? BAN!
Don't like wasting all your gold on Oracle's item 2047 Juice? BAN! Teemo BAN! Twitch BAN! Shaco .
Don't like undead Sion shattering your nexus while you're across the map? BAN!

Just to recap, the reasons to allow ARAM Draft Mode are as follows:

  1. Some champs are OP (Illaoi) in a single-lane setting.
  2. Banning technology has already been invented.
  3. Because it would be fun.
  4. Because it would be easy.
  5. Because people would use it.

Reasons against:

  1. Maybe the rumored sandbox mode is about to be released, sooner than this could be set up.
  2. That's it, there's no other reason not to let people ban champs in ARAM.

Lets be honest Xerath Lux Ziggs Varus and a combination of a few others. Would basically be the bans every game.

I don't think draft HA would be too interesting, as it'd likely have the same champion issues as URF did/does (i.e. low champion diversity due to people spamming power picks). ARAM with bans could work though. However, it'd probably do better as a different queue, as the higher commitment (due to banning phase) might drive away the casual players.
