Same Champ ARAM?

Imperial Pandaa·Aug 2, 2017·1 votes·2,445 views

I am currently in discussion with a fellow over ARAM and he says that the Same champ can be on both teams. I have never seen this (outside of the actually Mirror Mode game mode) and was wondering if anyone had an idea? I try searching the forums and there are posts saying no and it was a bug they fixed in an old patch.

Edit: Someone did post that they had one last month. Also said that it was a new account that just hit the ability to que ARAM. Guess that makes sense if new levels only have the f2p

I believe it's possible, but rare. It's probably most likely to happen at lower levels when people only have the free champs available. You'd basically need all 10 free champs to be assigned to players. If a player with only the free champs available decides to reroll, they would get a champion that the other team already has. That's because when you use a reroll, you're guaranteed to get something different than what you're rolling off of (for that reroll only. If you use a second reroll, you can get the first champ you rolled off of back).

But there was a bug quite some time ago where rerolls weren't checking if the other team was assigned that champion at all. That was definitely fixed.
