Arurf isn't random, or at least doesn't feel like it

Getting irelia up to 5 times now, and thats only when i got her, and taric for the 2nd time, rengar for the 2nd time, im still waiting for a diff champ from my pool like kindred or fiora, i feel like certaint champs have a higher chance of being chosen over others

ijust played a game, enemy team had skarner, mundo, fiora and irelia! before that i was on a team that required all AA's, the enemy got shen!

I got Lux 4-5 games in a row

I got Vlad 3 times in a row (though twice the lobby was dodged)

I pulled Aatrox 3 games in a row, and I've pulled (and rerolled) Bard an awful lot.

I own every champion, and there's a large list of champions I've not pulled.

I got karthus 9 games straight. I fecken switched accounts after the 3rd time to get something else and got karthus another 6 times.

ARAM accounts are a thing... It's stupid and borderline cheating, but it's a thing.

They probably work just as well in ARURF too. People don't want to play for fun, they want to exploit something overpowered, broken or unfair to get easy wins so they can mastery spam and feel good about themselves.

Yep, I keep getting the same champs too. I love Kled and all,but I rolled him like 10 times by now and had to waste a bunch of rerolls on him. Also I rolled Ahri like 5 times in a row before people stopped dodging and I still got Ahri.

I also got Singed in one champ select and somebody dodged, then got Janna, rerolled, Singed, rerolled, Janna, decided to dodge myself and call it a day because that was tilting.

Also played Maokai like 4 times, played Azir twice almost back to back.

I have like 90 champions, I really shouldn't be getting the same champions this frequently.

There is an annie in every goddamn game. Or a cass. Or a brand. I love how Riot made all the hyper-OP mages free this week for URF; I'm convinced there's a higher chance of getting F2P champs than your other champs in your pool.

i thought annie would be op too with her Q cooldown but you pretty much need flash to do anything and if your enemy has good reflexes it's pretty much rip. also tibbers staying alive for like double the cooldown of the ult is pretty annoying as well

I don't believe them myself, but I've heard rumors that F2P champions count as two separate instances of a champion if you own them.

Say Tahm Kench is on rotation, and you own Tahm Kench. There would be two instances of Tahm Kench in your champion pool, supposedly.

Sounds plausible. I would not be surprised if this were true

Same. Got lissandra 6 times in one night. If it wasn't her it was Lee Sin.

You do realize it is possible to land on the same champ many times even under random rules, right? Random does not mean "different all the time". I've gotten Xin Zhao 3 times at least in URF this weekend alone and it all still feels pretty random.

Yeah, I got WW five times (not in a row) but its still annoying I wish I would get other champions I own like Jax or something

I thought this will be a thread about facing Aram accounts...

Anyway, yes, it is odd to get the same champion over and over again. But, in theory, there should be some cases like that... This game has so many players, that I don't find it too odd for this thing to happen to a minority of the player base.

Out of all the games I played, all but 2 I had to reroll or trade out of Zac (and I played quite a few games of it)

I had a guy full on raging (then dodging) because he kept rolling into Darius, so he ended up playing 5 games of Darius in a row (I saw the match history, so he wasn't lying).

It is VERY not random it feels, and for someone (me) who owns every champ, and to see the same champs multiple times, and out of no less than 20 games I didn't see half the roster of champs at ALL come up, yeah...pretty sure it isn't fully "Random" from my feel alone.
