Competitive All Mid

Can we get a version of all mid that's competitive and the like? I dont like the "It's just ARAM" attitude and fear I'm not getting the thrill and competition I'm craving from the current ARAM meta which is casual.

Can we get a mode for those who take this mode seriously, PLEASE! I'm on my knees begging with tears in my eyes.

It could even be a separate mode called ADAM that doesn’t touch current ARAM at all. Just safe us hardcore players.

There is nothing competitive in running it down in ARAM. it's just a fun game mode.

No, there's nothing competitive about ARAM, even if they made it so everyone has all champs unlocked it would be a coinflp anyway

ranked aram exclusively to people who own every champion. That would be soooo hype

I think Competitive ARAM (i.e. Ranked) would work better than ADAM. There simply aren't enough changes to regularly shake up the Draft meta. It'd just devolve into "Pick/Ban these 20-30 champs every game" indefinitely. Additionally, there's significant overlap with Summoner's Rift in terms of skills tested.

In contrast, the randomness in ARAM promotes a greater variety of champs. Furthermore, the randomness also tests generalist skills, something that none of the existing ranked options test. Rather than encouraging specialization (e.g. Mid main or Riven OTP), ARAM encourages developing a wide set of skills. By requiring a different skillset, ranks earned are more meaningful.

As for addressing the "It'S jUsT rAnDoM cOiNfLiPs" argument, there's several ways to address that. The recent balance changes have apparently already started narrowing the disparity between relative champion strength. Bans would further aid in removing any (perceived) outliers. Going even further, ARAM could draw from card games, another competitive random game, and use a Random Draft in champ select. As with the existing Draft queues, players would take turns picking their champ. However, rather than picking from the entire champ pool, each player would be limited to a handful (say, 3) of random champs. This change would add yet another skill test by including drafting while still respecting the spirit (and benefits) of ARAM.

When I could have played, I played to win.

I don't want to used the word seriously, as league is not life or death, it doesn't bring me an income. lol

Nah fam tbh I feel like ARAM is fun because its so chill ya feel me? Putting a win lose system in it would open it up to a LOT of toxicity which could ultimately ruin the experience of it
