Can Riot please do something to address ARAM only accounts

I've been playing ARAM recently because the shorter game time is easier to fit in, and about 1/10 games or so you get into a match where you immediately know you've been matched against 2-3 of these "people." They are cheating the system by only unlocking champions who are strong in aram. It is utterly obnoxious and a complete waste of everyone's time to play. I wish Riot would address this in some way, like unlocking all champions in aram or only matching aram only accounts vs other aram only accounts or something.

To all the small bitches who make ARAM only-accounts because they can't climb out of b5, fuck you, hardly. You're fucking ruining a fun mode by having to abuse the system, you don't deserve to live on this planet fucking trash

Riot has already said there is a very small amount of people doing this so they have no plans for anything against it.

I have never noticed a problem with this. Since the addition of snowball and Warmog's, there aren't really any champions that are terrible in ARAM. If you do get a champion that is absolutely terrible like Udyr or Evelyn, you can just reroll.

What the hell are you talking about and how is that cheating

The concept behind aram is that you can get a godly champion or a trash champion and it just comes down to luck. However there are people who make accounts only for ARAM games where they only buy poke/heal/shield champions. It's easy to spot these "people" because you check their match history, champions played, etc. and it's all tier 1 aram champs.

All champions available in ARAM. Done.

Unlocking all the champions for ARAM would reduce the money flow of Riot: ARAM only people would not have much reason to buy new champions (only if they wish to be able to earn mastery score for them or they wish to have so cool skin, which they could occasionally show off to others) and because some ARAM only people would stop playing League. I don't think Riot sees that as an acceptable solution. And like Sukishoo said, Riot has done research about the matter at some point and there aren't really that many ARAM only accounts you mean.

I don't think I have seen your other improvement idea before. How would Riot be able to detect which accounts are the bad kind of ARAM only accounts, and which are the regular ARAM only accounts? I consider my only account "a regular ARAM only account" with the about 60% of the champions owned (I thought the percent was higher, but we really have 140 champions these days).

Also, since ARAM does have it's own MMR rating, the non-regular ARAM players are probably unlikely to meet the ARAM only people (of either kind) too often anyways, since everyone is matched against people with similar MMR - ARAM regulars tend to have higher MMRs in the Abyss and often abyssal MMRs elsewhere.

Could you explain how you immediately know you have been matched against these "people"? If you mean that they have Ziggs, Lux or some other top x champions, it just means those are owned by most people who play ARAM. Bad ARAM champions are usually rerolled away or the lobbies with many bad champions are dodged. This is why the top champions appear in the Abyss more often than the bad ones. I call that the Yahtzee effect. If you ment you can tell that immediately by some other means, I would love to know the trick - so I might be able to do the same. :)
