Can we get bans in ARAM already?

It's not that hard of a concept, and it shouldn't be that hard to implement: Have a round of bans in ARAM before champions are assigned.

If you don't want to make everyone draw from the whole champion pool, at least allow us to ban champs that are completely broken in the mode like Sona (who has had ~70% win rate in ARAM since forever). It is so disheartening to see Sona in ARAM every other game. Having a round of bans would really take the sting out of ARAM only accounts, which fill their roster with only the top 10-15 ARAM champions and then dodge queue whenever they get an undesirable free champion and don't have any rerolls.

The top handful of ridiculously OP champs in ARAM, especially Sona and Ziggs, really take a lot of the fun out of the mode.

Thanks for listening.

ARAM is not meant to be balanced and never will be.

Although the last round of changes for it really helped with the balance of it.

Strongly disagree it's random and not suppose to be balanced all this does is take what is spose to be a short fun game mode and increase the queue time and give people a reason to flame

I really dont think ARAM only accounts are that big of a problem besides aram gives you a great equalizer sure you can talk about sona ziggs xerath being op but that gets nullified by giving champs like garen and darius a snowball gap closer

sometimes you will get bad comps and lopsided matchups bans will not change this you are just too concerned about your ARAM winrate stop caring about ARAM wins and balance it's just stupid

Regular ARAM should be left alone as the "Blind Pick" version for casual players. Bans or anything to do with more competitive aspects should be in a separate, ideally ranked, queue.
