Changes to ARAM

Lambchop·Apr 28, 2017·6 votes·522 views

I've been playing aram exclusively since it was introduced, I find it's the most fun least toxic game mode. After so many games played i found ARAM's to have an excellent balance, that is to say a team comp that might struggle in the early and mid game could come back and win once the champs got leveled and geared up if the team could keep their composure and play to prolong the game. The changes designed to speed up the game seem to have killed this whole dynamic, many games now ending before champions even hit level 18. So I just wanted to see if anyone was in agreement-disagreement or just don't care, that these changes have made arams less fun and strategic. Thank you.

I have almost 1000 ARAM wins and I hate casual ARAM players and they just enabled them with the changes so yeah it sucks.

There's many threads going on over this. People who play ARAM exclusively are pretty much pissed off at the changes because it cheapens the game to a Counterstrike level. I'm so pissed at the red who lied and said we asked for this in overwhelming fashion....no...we didn't. Its disgusting and I don't think I'll be playing Aram much apart from the weekend fun modes.

Right on! I understand wanting to tinker with average game times for summoners rift, since they want to make an exciting televised product, but the action in ARAM is non-stop and longer games usually meant close fought fun games. Like I said I thought the balance was nearly perfect as it was. My last few games I was lucky to hit lvl 15 and have 3 completed items. I see inhibitors going down in under 15 minutes in every other game, hard to pull off the epic comeback at that point. It's just not as much fun.

I'm a player since the beta test days, and appreciate Riot for providing me with so much entertainment for free and have never felt a reason to post my displeasure. I did a search for ARAM and did not see many recent threads, so made one myself. If I didn't have regular players I like playing with I would stop playing altogether. As it is I'm going to be playing less and less if these changes stay in place and accept that they are catering to a low attention span alleged majority.

Lets continue to make ourselves heard and maybe they will listen. Thank you.
