Aram NEEDS a change already....

With the recent "mana" band-aid to ARAM it hasn't really done anything to the game mode. I still find myself losing game after game after game because of either bad team mates or bad team comps. My team fighting skills are absolutely amazing, but I can't do anything if 3 champions on the other team are my counter. Time and time again people have begged and pleaded with you (Riot Games) to change this game mode, to make it something better.

The only change that can fix this game mode 100% is giving EVERY ACCOUNT access to ALL CHAMPIONS while playing ARAM. This fixes all the unbalanced teams, and biased team fighting teams. I have lost maybe 30 games and won 10 aram games in the past few weeks BECAUSE of smurf accounts. When you start losing MMR because of a game mode and not because of player skill, something needs to be looked at.

It's ARAM. It's about fun, and sometimes you get stuck with champions you don't like, but here's the thing -- almost every champion is viable sooner or later. You're a tanky melee champion? Come end-game, you'll be incredibly useful to peel enemies off your squishies. Pokey and squishy? You'll be great early game but less so late-game. Sure, sometimes the teamcomps are imbalanced to the point where you can't do anything, and that's why I think there needs to be an earlier surrender option (20 minute surrender is fine for Summoners Rift, but 15 minutes is better for ARAM). I get that some people use ARAM for bots or specifically buy only poke champions for ARAM accounts, but I honestly don't notice that much distortion in the games I play.

ARAM's supposed to have less a focus on winning and more of a focus on having fun, including trying out new champions and building troll builds (like AP Nasus, AP Shaco, AD Caster Jinx, and so on)

I like the idea, but I am willing to guess that this will be voted down due to a lot of smurfs going here to downvote.

Look at it this way:

You need an ARAM account to play ARAM -> you may want to drop a few bucks to speed up grinding all over again -> $$$.

All champions unlocked -> you won't spend any money on that account, in fact you may avoid spending money on your main because you got champion X you wanted to buy and sucked dick, not to mention you won't buy any skins and may no longer play SR altogether because you find ARAM more fun -> !$$$.

Riot are not so stupid as to throw away millions.

I don't mind losing on ARAM, since it's a gambling game. But I have noticed 2/3 times the enemy always gets unusually advantage champions haha

While having all champs available is a nice idea, you will still have unbalanced teams and biased teammates cause it is still random.
