Anyone else Only Play ARAM?

Zaryelle··4 votes·4,871 views

I've played SR quite a bit but I found after a while I just don't enjoy it, I enjoy the constant team fights of ARAM 5v5, I don't care if it's not extremely balanced as SR is, I usually play supports or tanks.

In SR I always end up in bad situations like trying to solo as support in bot lane cause they will randomly go 2 top even after calling ADC, or end up 1v3 bot getting ganked constantly while my team ignores my ping for assistance, then blamed for not holding 1v3 turret as a support, lots of annoying situations like that and people just not working together makes SR unfun for me majority of the time. It'd be a lot better if I queue with friends I suppose.

The thing I like about ARAM is a sort of forced teamwork, if someone is diving 1v5 (which they do often anyways, yes) it'll be more obvious they're not working with the team and they're more likely to stop and start working together. I don't really enjoy csing and certain champs start off easier at level 3

Used to enjoy ARAM. Then they basically killed it for me between adding snowball a while back, and now the latest changes they made. It's even easier now days to tell which team will win. There's very little room for skilled play to actually overcome a bit of a comp disadvantage now.

Snowball is a bit OP with certain champions, especially slower tanks like Alistar,Rammus,Naut. On low levels there isn't as much ARAM accounts so it's a little fairer, but I know what you mean, we can usually tell who will win

I guess you could technically consider my account ARAM because I only have tanks/supports, but I have very few of the OP ranged damages like Nidalee, Ashe, Ziggs. But that's because I only really enjoy support characters, not to make ARAM easier.

aram is literally rng. being good at the game doesnt mean anything and its impsosibel to have fun when every game the enemy team has lux and varus and you have rammus or udyr

Rammus is actually really good on ARAM especially if you get snowball, but yeah when you get close to level 30 there are a lot of ARAM accounts. Some of the short ranged melee are extremely weak in ARAM like Shyvana and Udyr, (some people claim Udyr is good in ARAM but I don't see how at all).

The team comp aspect of ARAM is completely RNG (ignoring the advantage of ARAM accounts), yes, but it takes a lot of skill with positioning and reacting to your team at all times.

I think adding blind 'bans' to ARAM would help somewhat. If they were not blind you could force the other team into a really shitty comp.

I play a ton of ARAM and tanks/bruisers actually can do quite well with the addition of the snowball summoner

I like Aram because it randomly picks a champ, which is a fun experience. Plus I like that it's more casual and people don't rage as much.

I used to really enjoy it, but they added the snowballs that ruined it. Like if the other team has a Alistar you literally just die every single time he lands a snowball. Its stupid and removes skill from the game.

I really only play ARAM and bots anymore with the occasional Flavor of the week game mode (if it's one I'm interested in). I've been avoiding Ranked for years now and Norms sounds just as bad anymore. Then after Riot said how they are focusing on the team experience over the solo experience for the second year in a row, I practically lost all interest in playing those modes. To top it off, they added those stupid rank emblems saying "this is how we will reward solo players" when all it feels like it does is label people as solo or pre-made. Next season Riot really needs to switch their focus to solo players.
