ARAM is really bad now

Fluxxeh·4/6/2019, 2:49:57 PM·5 votes·2,527 views

I (used to) play a lot of ARAM and if the other people on my team are all poke and I'm the only tank, I'll play the tank and usually do quite well with it. That said, Lux is my main on SR and sometimes when I'm working from home, I will queue for an ARAM and hope that I get Lux and if I don't I will dodge and keep working. I have been playing since 2013 and I own 78 champions. I will admit that maining Lux on SR has made me biased towards mages, and I own almost all the mages in the game. I play my fair share of tanks on ARAM and I actually really enjoy it (if my team is competent...). Adding bans to ARAM though means that everyone will just ban the ranged character that they hate the most and the end result is just anti-fun.

I can see why someone would argue in favor of these changes, but at the same time, they've nerfed fun out of the game to appease cry babies. I know how awful it is playing against broken comps, but I mean if you are getting stomped, the game is usually over in no more than 15 minutes and you just requeue. This is a classic example of removing fun from a game to appeal to people who cry when they get ruined by something. I'm a big fan of Sona on ARAM and I have a discount for Odyssey Sona in my shop. Now that she is banned constantly on ARAM I don't see why I would purchase it. When champions are assigned and I get some stupid champion while seeing that Xerath, Ziggs, Fiddle, Sona, Lux, Teemo, Blitz, etc have been banned I just close the game and play something else. This seems like a shitty change. I really hope that it doesn't stay.

Lets be real you've tanked like 3 times out of your last 50 games. What you really mean is that you dodge repetitively until you get a "fun pick" which is really an "overpowered pick". Your history is filled with nothing but artillery mages, busted ass Sona, an other ranged harass champs. Your repetitive dodging is so incredibly selfish. You fuck over everyone else in the lobby who may have gotten a pick they wanted because you didnt get yours.

These changes were practically necessary. You had a shit load of champs with over 60% win rates for years at a time which is funny because its mostly the ones you pick. Just a coincidence though right? "Fun" not "overpowered".

You are exactly the biggest problem with ARAM. The people who dodge over and over until they get something broken

So you queue up until you get a broken champion.. A champ with over a 60% winrate that can guarantee a win based on only champ select. Now that shes banned, you cry. Goodbye then, aram is better without you.

This is honestly a seriously selfish way of playing ARAM, and yet you still dare to have a problem with people wanting to ban certain champions.

I know how awful it is playing against broken comps, but I mean if you are getting stomped, the game is usually over in no more than 15 minutes and you just requeue.

Then why can't you just play the champion you were randomly assigned & just get over it? Rather than being a sissy about it by dodging it just so you can possibly get Lux in the next one?

I'm a big fan of Sona on ARAM and I have a discount for Odyssey Sona in my shop. Now that she is banned constantly on ARAM I don't see why I would purchase it.

Then go the fuck back to Summoner's Rift. You're not always expected to get your specific favorite champion in a game mode that randomly assigns you one.

When champions are assigned and I get some stupid champion while seeing that Xerath, Ziggs, Fiddle, Sona, Lux, Teemo, Blitz, etc have been banned I just close the game and play something else.

You're missing the point of All Random All Mid. You're meant to get a champion that you're not familiar with. Bans are there to give your team a nicer experience in not having to fight against something that gives them a shitty time.

I definately agree on the ARAM sucks now point but for me the reason is another. We all know they love Bruisers and Tanks and overbuff them into oblivion. Its been so long since the Snowballs got patched in but i still hate them every single fucking game. If you make a role taht is immortal and deals the same damage as a damage dealer .. at least fucking dont give them a double range spammable leesin q. Isnt the only thing that holds back tanks and bruisers the fact that they have to figure out how to engage? well fuck you says riot here is a fkn ARAM ruining snowball. ARAM nowadays is literally count the amount of press all buttons tanks and bruisers and the team that has more already won. But it gets better .. its not enough to be broken, immortal and have a global engage ... noooooo WARMOGS IS STILL IN THE GAME AND POKE DMG GETS NERFED ... OMEGALUL. Like these guys are actually mentally challenged and they dont even try to hide it anymore its straight up saying "here we love tanks and thats why we force their op'ness on you). When the ban system came in i was so happy thinking there will be 10 tanks/bruisers less every game... but instead people ban long range mages that seem op but in reality get usless as soon as warmogs + spirit visage is finished by the enemy tanks. One example i have xerath. i got EVERY SINGLE MAGIC PEN ITEM AND RUNE ETC IN THE GAME (which ofc are like 3-4 things because hey we have to keep tanks op). So i start shooting this SION and im not lying here this guy took about 40 Spells just alone from me and lost maybe .. idk 300 HP? This is just pathetic and destroys the point of this mode and game. Unless they dont fix this problem more and more people will get sick of it and quit.

I hope one day the tank lovers in their balance team get fired

holy shite i know this post is dead for several months but i just couldn't help myself from laughing when this kid says he didn't like bans because it makes the game less fun, but also he REPEATEDLY dodges over and over until he gets a champion he likes essentially ruining a good game for 9 other people every time. How obliviously selfish can 1 person be?? Kid was literally the type of person the bans were meant to offset
