I'm starting to feel like ARAM is still rigged

Stomp comps, such as 3 adc, one hard poke and a tank, against 5 melees like Nunu Olaf Skarner . Happens more than once, either side. Anyone else noticing this ?

Look at it this way. True randomness would not be likely to give you fair matchups. True randomness is very spikey unless you average it out over a large sample size.

Humans have an instinct to look for patterns in everything and often true randomness triggers that in us.

That's why there are so many games that use psuedorandom algorithms. Because true random doesn't feel random or fair. It feels rigged when it's truly random. You're expecting the randomness to even out but since we focus on the moment-to-moment it doesn't feel like it evens out.

ARAM evens out over many games. Most matchups are shitty and lopsided but you are on both sides of it equally often. It's just rare to get a good matchup.

So I think it's actually just random and that's why it feels so bad. lol
