Gotta agree with you OP, but you will only get downvotes, there-s a lot of chill gamemode cry babies out there.

I don't like the playstyle that is being promoting with this spell, should have longer cd, it ruined the coolness of being a SR like game without the burden of solo laning.

People liked to over react and state that AP/CC comps where to strong.... but that wasn't the case since Nidalee, Jayce, Ziggs nerfed cama and also introduction of righteous glory for tanks.

Before mark: 20% probability to play against a pure skillshot and control team. Nowadays: Almost to 100% I get skillshots everywhere, tanks galore, you better watch out your stepping with snowabll there.

Give it some time for people to assemble Assasin and tank accounts.

I made the transition back to dominion and TT, though these days I play Hearthstone when I want to chill and have fun.

Those nerfs did not do much to their spammy nature.

It did for Jayce gate. Remember the 14/16 second gate threads.

Nidalee spears are more dodgable than ever, really thin compared to before.

Ziggs hitbox also were affected.

If you don't suffer of tunnel vision or being affected by the distortion from the global view camera that league uses, these are easy to dodge. Spammers now need to put more thought when shooting, like after stun-follow ups and skewer shots.

Just relax and have fun. I don't want the stress and hatred of summoner's rift in ARAM. This game has to be fun somewhere.

Problem is....it was fun BEFORE the snowball and said spell has removed the fun.

Being poked to death was not fun at all.

lightdragoon88May 9, 20151 votes

And to solve that...we gave an spell that allows everyone to poke each other to death.

MarthianMay 9, 20151 votes

Then good thing they are nerfing it's damage by 75%.

That not going to stop the problem this spell has given us sadly.

MarthianMay 9, 20151 votes

If you mean peple jumping onto others, then sorry. But that change alone just made just about everyone viable on ARAM instead of the champions with lots of poke or sustain preventing you from getting any advantage.

lightdragoon88May 10, 20151 votes

That I have to disagree with.

Except for a few, every champ are very good and very viable on ARAM. Mark/dash has not help the un-viable ones at all.

I really liked to flank teams and use righteous glory to turn team into melee mode in a blink of a second.

Of course that depended on team skill. But I hate that nowadays everyone gets a Lee Sin skill shot and can secure kills by sacrificing oneself with the snowball mechanism.

Id rather be poked to death a billion times than have to ever play vs a fizz or fiddles with this game breaking POS spell. Whats that YI and tyrnd, the only form of balance your champ has is your lack of mobility, fuck that here you go. Use it on c/d because even if you get a kill 1/5 times you use it, you will still be getting gold to your imbalanced hypercarry state.

MarthianMay 9, 20151 votes

I would rather not. Rolling a tank or bruiser was no fun since you could never actually get a kill unless they were very bad. You basically had to hide behind minions.

lightdragoon88May 10, 20151 votes

Why does KDA mean so much to you if you are a tank or bruiser? You are a protector in ARAM. Your job is not to poke or get kills, but to protect YOUR pokers until late game when you can jump in and cause as much havoc as possible.

MarthianMay 10, 20151 votes

Part of getting kills is getting gold so you can actually cause havoc. Next to impossible to do so early game if the other team is poke. Then there's the issue of if you don't actually have any champion to poke with.

lightdragoon88May 10, 20151 votes

There is gold from assist.

And the odds of everyone on your team being melee with no poke is very low.

As an ARAM main, this is the best thing that happened to ARAM.

On high ELO, almost everyone had ARAM accounts with only champions that are good in this game mode. Using the rerolls to get rid of, they always got a god tier champ. If you didn't have atleast 3 god tier champs, you might aswell dodge because your winning chance is below 30%.

ARAM was restricted to 30-40 champions. Now, there are double that amount of champions that are good and the gap between the really good and really bad champions has become smaller.

Long range poke and healers reigned the old ARAM. They're still good now (although healers seem to be getting on the weaker side since all ins happen more often AND their healing effect on others is halved) but now tanks, bruisers and assassins have a way to engage so that makes them good too. Low ranged DPS (like most ADCs) used to be meh in this gamemode and although they can't make good use out of mark/dash themselves, they benefit A LOT from the fact that extended fights are happening way sooner now. People are also rerolling less for long ranged poke so that also makes it easier for ADCs.

The meta has changed in an incredibly good way. Yes, mark/dash is OP, but it caused more champion and class diversity in ARAM. I think the damage shift from Mark to Dash is a good idea, though, because everyone is forced to take the spell now, even long ranged casters that never want to dash to an enemy, just for the damage it deals. They will once again be able to use heal with creates a healthy combination of mark+flash and heal+flash with an occasional other summoner spell (wow 2 viable options instead of one!)
