Please remove Mark/Dash

I played arams to learn to team fight and learn other champ abilities.... now its nothing like actual team fighting. I mean this was fun for a game or two, but now i think its too much of a change.

=( I feel like I'm one of the only ones who isn't having a lot of fun; I'm finding the tanks to be a little too overbearing ;_; they have warmogs too now, and it just feels like if you get an immobile champion that isn't a bruiser, the other team can just dive you and you can't flash away or anything.. I think it's a step in the right direction, but for me and a quite a few others, I think it just needs a longer cooldown because the current cooldown is too short relative to spells like flash and exhaust and counterplay to divey assassins

i hate making plays. remove this now

Well came into this tread and hope to find people that actually had the same feeling that i do, that aram is far worse now than it was, far less enjoyable and with a completely ruined balance. It´s not like melee was unplayable before, and now the balance is completely destroyed, can we get an option for standard aram, and while you are at it remove the ability to suicide. And no I don’t have a aram account I play what I get, and only re-role if the teamcomp is bad.

I love to play ARAMS its all I play. With Mark/Dash its now become stupid. I cant have a single game any more where I get killed because Mark/Dash has crazy range. Can I dodge it? yes but do I see it that often? Nope because it blends in... Who's idea was it any way to add it, and off topic from that another issue I have is the fact that ARAM is now battle of the tanks. Now with the addition of warmogs the tanks are getting to strong. All I am seeing in Tons of HP and then topped with armor/MR. Hopefully they will consider the opinions of players who play ARAM most of the time or at least add a mode without Mark/Dash. I don't mind the warmogs that bad but something needs to change.

Mark has dramatically changed ARAM, it is now a must have spell, out of balance with all other summoner spells. All characters get near limitless engage on a timer that is far too short. Flash has a 300 second cool down and is arguably worse than this new spell. I play 10 games of ARAM a week average. Now I may give up the format entirely. This ability needs to be nerfed dramatically or removed. I'd Recommend reducing the range by half, and increasing the cooldown to 120 seconds +.

Riot, you tried to fix something that wasn't broken, and broke it.

A testament to how passionate I feel about this is that I have played LOL for 3.5 years and never posted a complaint. ARAM is now a joke format.

The fact that people don't see the problem with Mark/Dash is ridiculous. You guys play test this? Mark Malphite ult is fair and fun. You basically just buffed tanks who were already the strongest champs in ARAM. Nothing like a Cho Gath jumping on your team and silencing while Amumu follows up with an ult. It's basically reroll 75% of the champs now. ADC? Not unless you have like four tanks to stand in front of. The game is ruined in my opinion. This was the only game mode I played anymore because it was random and fun. It WAS actually fairly balanced unless you pulled the god comps. Hate to complain but feels like you guys completely changed a mode that was fine. I watched an Amumu Mark, Flash, Bandage Toss, on to an Ezreal that Flashed and E'd. Ezreal is probably the most mobile ADC no? He can't get away from a tank? It was probably a cool idea but to me it's just a cheap fix to something bigger. You need map specific nerfs/buffs. This is not the way to "fix" a game mode.

this mark just craps all over slow squishies oh my lord, if you have bruisers or tanks it's over there is no strategy in aram anymore

ARAM = Anti-Ranged Assault Mode

new scariest aram champions

"One of our takeaways from Legend of the Poro King was that there are a ton of champions who could actually be pretty healthy on Howling Abyss if they had better engagement tools. We're introducing Mark / Dash as a summoner spell option to address that need."

Lets be Honest. There was never a problem with low engage teams.

1. Talisman and Righteous Glory: Something all melee heavy teams SHOULD BUY; but I hardly see it. So it's their choice. They're actually good starting items. Plus ghost blade, ghost, and the horn. I honestly don't see a way everyone on the enemy team can get away safely if you use this properly. (Outplays do happen though)
2. Almost all champions have a gap closer. If they don't have a gap closer they still have flash(Its pretty difficult to get all 5 no gap closer champs).
3. Poke teams are suppose to be annoying.
4. Its all random.... you're bound to get bad comps

Problem with Snowball. Low CD, Long Range, No penalty if missed. High amounts of Armour/MR can be reached easily. Which leads to easy dives/stand in their whole team and chill. Another problem is Champions that have deadly engage can destroy your whole team. (Alistar, Fiddle... Etc.) With the free teleports, I don't see any counterplay.

If you still see engage as a issue. Make it so they throw themselves forward (which is like a flash). Lower the range. Give us ways to play around it.

*Please test it before you add it. Poro King and Aram, are not the same modes. You can pick and ban in Poro King. There was actually a purpose to the Poro-throws. And Aram is missing the King and the mandatory 2 summoners. (As a joke; can you imagine if the snowball were Poros? We've abused them to no end; making them explode every 20 seconds, at that point, I think you can no longer say "No Poros were hurt in the makings of this")

this is the worst thing riot did ever. just remove it please.

it's a nice change of pace, but ultimately it's going to grow tiring, because it's a gimmick. like I mean it only makes assassins even better than they are, so when you roll a team with master yi and katarina there are even more opportunities for one-sided play.

I think a good alternative would be if the snowballs acted as a mini exhaust, that could help mitigate the damage of nukers.

Yea, this is really ARAM 2.0 finally. So much more fighting, less getting outcombed and slowly die in vein.

I rarely log in and comment on things. But this new spell is so toxic for ARAM it's ridiculous. Why try to fix the most balanced gamemode? Riot, you broke the gamemode instead. Even backline squishies run the spell, because it's on such a low cooldown and outclasses every other spell. Tanks were not weak in ARAM. It's the only mode I play regularly and I was often happy to play a heavy cc tank because they're very very strong. Assassins are often the role that ends up doing poorly, although that is very reliant on both comps. It's ARAM, sometimes your champ doesn't do well against the enemy comp, or with your team's comp.

I LIKE THE SNOWBALLS IN ARAM! TY RIOTO

i feel like ranged champions should not be able to pick up this summoner.

annie and lyssandra are pure cancer with this. they spam it until they hit something and then boom. either tibbers in your face, or a lyssandra ult.

well i play aram A LOT as on all i play on lol, mark/dash is litraly destroying aram, there is nothing left but spam it dive in, 9 out of 10 chams are now uselss, adc's cant doge anything andy more whit 5 marks heading thier way, ooh champ mobibity, yea you just became useless since everybody is more mobile then you will ever be whit your skills, kata now uselss since you cant keep anything in range of your ult, ooh morgana idd, its just a retarted slugfest now, everybody engeging every second whit shit for brains, its no longer about poke or anything remotly about tactics ist DIVE IN WHIT ALL AND SEE WHAT WORKS, no tactics or brains envolved, normaly aram was about 20 to 30 min, now its about 15 since peple dont give a shit about anything anymore whit mark

i dont know why everyones complaining this item is great aram isnt meant to go all try hard blah blah its to have fun try troll builds enjoy yourself mark/dash isnt any different then having a flash and if somone mark/dashes into you and u cant prevent it then its your own fault lol cause its pretty easy to counter unlike ignite

It's fun, but it does need a nerf. Its cooldown should be doubled and it should have its cooldown reduced by 50% if you actually go in

Right now people just spam it all the time until you get hit, it's quite ridiculous. There's already enough shit to dodge without adding minuscule, barely visible snowballs that actually do quite a lot of damage and have massively misleading hitboxes.
