How to make ARAM fair for melee
Snowball wasn't really the answer, hell its taken by as much ranged champs as melee. The problem is poke is overpowered in ARAM, this can be made a little easier to deal with by some small changes to the map, and/or towers. The bushes should be a little further away from the tower to make it harder to hide there and poke people clearing minions under the tower. Also the towers range could be increased a little to give a small amount of breathing room to hit minions. Also allow purchasable wards on the map for those bushes. Right now Xerath, Vel, Ez and other pokers are way too safe while poking half your health away the second you get in to melee range of a minion attacking your tower, makes playing melee that isn't building tanky very unfun, and not too fun for tanks either if the poke is bad enough.
