ARAM players want some love to

As someone who plays almost exclusively ARAM, I've gotten quite used to the imbalances that exist for some of the champions. While the random nature of champ select makes teams with good synergy both rare and powerful, there's no reason champs by themselves have to be so castly different in skill. Crystal Scar used to have custom champion balances, and now that CS has been removed couldn't a bit of that saved time be used to rebalnce champs for ARAM? Even simple damage reductions/boosts to the abilities of the top/bottom champs would greatly improve the gameplay environment for those of us who play significant numbers of ARAM games.

Thoughts?

I don't think people play it enough to work on it when worlds is coming up and they have to make the assasin reworks aside from the vgus coming up

Regardless of how many people play, I'd assume Riot wouid drop everything to handle balancing for Worlds if there's any work that needs done there. I'm more just trying to draw some attention to the fact that ARAM has existed for years, and to date really the only champion related rebalnces are for "stacking" champs that was done in 6.12.

ManWolfAxeBoss, the guy who was handling Dominion and Alternate maps stuff, is now working on SR's Balance team. He said he still does some Alternate Maps stuff in his spare time, but, understandably, he doesn't have much spare time.

Furthermore, ARAM got some changes back in patch 6.12. That's roughly as many changes as Dominion would get in a year, so it'd probably be more useful to ask for better/more Riot support in general, rather than just the same level of support.

My mistake, asking for more balance changes would have been a better wording. I didn't know about ManWolfAxeBoss, so thanks for that info.
