This game mode is awesome

Sooko··17 votes·1,490 views

I really love it, Riot, and I want to congratulate you for making it. I like how everyone gets to be LeeSin. I love how initiating tanks became a lot more powerful. I love the bans to kick annoying champions out unlike ARAM. And the best part: I love how the meta isn't enforced in this mode. I can play Alistar and combo with my brother playing Blitzcrank without any problem. I can actually bring Singed into a game! Most tanks that were usually considered bad are now quite decent. (Shen poro dashing and then feint dashing OP)

To me, it even bests URF, because, despite some champions being a pain to deal with, we have enough bans to work around most of them, and there are Porooooooos!

It saddens me that this mode too will go away, and I wouldn't mind if we got it instead of ARAM or Dominion (but I won't speak for the community, many might differ). But oh well... I should enjoy it while it lasts. Congratulations on this one, Rito, I can't see much tryharding (remember Ascension?), I can't see many assassins getting spammed (Hexakill was more like a Katarina and friends mode), it doesn't get boring so soon (might just be me, but Doom Bots got stale after getting to the 5 stars or bombs or whatever) and most times it isn't overwhelming to play this game (URF vs LeBlanc or Zed, anyone?).

Enjoy this mode, everyone! summoner 31

I think it would be great if the poro-toss would be aviable as summoner in aram, it would really help melees to final be more or less equal with ranged in that mode

Hell, let's make it avaliable on the rift too! (Though with a much longer cool down)

No. Poros are reserved for Howling Abyss. We can't have those poor poros in the middle of serious fights on Summoner's Rift.

serious. i lold ;D

But yeah, poros restricted to Murderers bridge

But it's a proven fact, more poros = more happiness! Thus, they should clearly be everywhere!

It is a lot better than I thought it would be. Sounded stupid from the preview. The problem I have with it is that it takes away the element that makes ARAM fun... random champion select. Why would I purposefully play a weaker champion if I can choose someone who best fits the game mode? I won't be sad to see it go since it will get stale without the randomness.

It would be epic if Riot would allow us to create custom game modes that allow special features such as King Poro, all-random, on SR. Or Howling Abyss with all Zeals and no summoners skills. The community could come up with some seriously fun modes if the Riot would allow mode customization and mods. But, alas, Riot wants to make this game a super-serious E-sport! Fun is only temporary game modes!

Yeah, they did a great job with it. To be honest, it'd be better than ARAM since it makes so many more champions viable and prevents the game from becoming a poke-fest.

And the champions that it makes really strong were basically already really strong. From a balance perspective, I enjoy the new mode much more.

I think blind draft would work extremely well for aram... certainly reduce the one-sided stompfests that become more prevalent in the existing mode and allows people to compliment melee comps and such so poke comps. aren't necessarily as overpowered.

Since ARAM is All Random All Mid, it would have to be a different game mode. But it's fun to choose champs to use on Howling Abyss, although if it were to become a permanent thing, champs would need to be balanced for that mode.

I'm still not sure why blind draft by itself isn't a gametype option, it's all the fun of getting rid of unfun champs without having to worry about pick order.

I want poro king summoner spells in normal games, instead of flash and exhaust I could take a harass that makes a siege minion every 10 harasses on siegedonger with promotion and void gate eventually adding on top of the mess :P

rift version would've been infinitely better. Snow map. Rift. better.
