Riot, a few questions for Aram. Namely Remake.
I tried posting these in the October and November chat with meddler as well as the 7.22 patch chat discussion thread but have yet to get a Riot reply on any of these questions. I have recently played with a few Rioters and neither were able to give me an answer. If any red could give me some insight on these It would be greatly appreciated.
My questions are as follows.
1: Any ARAM improvements in the works? I asked back when the ARAM patch hit in mid season about ARAM only accounts being fixed by unlocking all champs in that game mode or rewarding those that have them all unlocked. Currently many accounts only buy the "good" champs and it gets quite annoying seeing the same 15-ish champs every game. With champion shards being given with each level instead of blue essence it seems like a good time to do something about this. I asked Riot FeralPony about this and he said they would look into it 6 months ago. Would love to see more thoughts or some info on this.
2: Any chance we will see Aram/3's patches to adjust along with the new runes? In the ARAM patch melee champs got some breathing room by having their base arm/mr raised slightly on Aram. With the new runes, playing a tank feels extremely feast or famine. More often than not it feels like I'm made out of paper even if I'm building nothing but resist/hp/tank runes. I'm sure you guys will adjust runes based on rift experiences but hopefully Aram and 3's will see some love in the preseason as well. I know hotfixes and from Riot members words, aggressive balancing will be happening over preseason and that is great. My fear is Aram/3's will be left out of the balance. What works on rift doesn't necessarily work elsewhere. Preseason balance, I'm sure is a huge job to say the least but please remember there are other game modes people play.
3: Is saying "GG EZ" at the end of games reportable? I always report those in my games that do so for being unsportsmanlike. I would like to know if it's doing anything or if I'm just wasting my time here. Very rarely I get the pop up saying my report has been acted upon and to keep up the good work, but that is very rare. I want to know if it was because of that or something else. This doesn't have anything to do with preseason, more to do with the social state of the game. I as recently as of today got a pop up saying a report was acted upon, however it would be nice to get a Riot reply on this. I have searched forums a lot for this subject and the closest thing I've found was a few years ago a red posted saying different things are reportable in different regions because of different cultures around the world. I know Riot likes keeping things close to their chest as it were when it comes to things of this nature, but I had to ask as it's something I've wanted to know for years now. Hopefully a Riot member can give me and the rest of the community some
on this.
4: WHY is remake not in Aram? I play a lot of games, and I mean a LOT of Arams. I would guess there is an afk 1/10th of the time. Remake would be very appreciated. It's extremely annoying to grind out a 4v5 be it on our team or theirs. Remake would help so much. I have found in my experience afk's are more common on Aram vs rift. A lot of people have the mentality of " it's Aram who cares" and afk/never connects really ruin the games they happen in. A lot of the afk's are people that try to dodge 1-2 seconds before starting and the system can't dodge before it starts. They never reconnect and teams are just kinda stuck with it. Remake is on rift and works great when someone can't connect. This needs to be on Aram/3's/RGM's
