RIOT, I really wish you cared more about the RGM and ARAM

You haven't even had the decency to give us the 10 ban system! That's nothing short of totally insulting! Absolutely disrespectful to that portion of your players.

I know these players are lowly scum compared to the almighty Summoners Rift Cash Cow Machines that compose most of your playerbase, but really, why do you think of us like we don't matter?

I know they're "for fun". And that's what they are, fun! WAY more fun than the garbage heap SR has become.

But when was the last time RIOT made ANY kind of statement on these modes? Their queue health? Their playerbase? ANYTHING AT ALL?!

Last time I really asked around to change aram, latency told me to simply fuck off, albeit in kind and warm words.

Because they're quick fun game modes. Adding in bans would make champ select take longer and, in the matter of AR game modes, kinda completely defeat the point of the mode.

OH NO Riot is caring most about the gamemode 95% of the community cares about!! What a shame!

Why do you even want bans in ARAM? That's just stupid.

As an player who's been solely playing ARAM for the past years, I've never heard words that true on the boards before. The SR is a sh*tfest along with the players on it. On the howling abyss, we have way much fun but Riot just keeps ignoring us and the gamemode is slowly getting as pathetic as the classic mode

I'm curious to know the numbers behind the actual player base for non SR modes.

And while yes these modes deserve more than No attention, you also have to accept that these modes are likely never going to be given attention from a growth perspective. It's no different from any older game that has a small community out there which gets the occasional patch from the developer.

they also should increase required amount of champions owned. Playing against premade aram accounts is extremely unfair.

what about treeline, it almost never gets balance updates and most new releases wind up being permanently broken like illaoi.
