ARAM is NOT Random, and it's getting worse.

NightShrike·2/5/2020, 9:20:18 AM·5 votes·2,205 views

I know for 100% fact that ARAM in absolutely NOT all random. lately I have been getting champs I never play at a constant rate, and it feels like a pool of about 20 champs. I never get champs I actually play, Like MF, Jinx, Ahri, ETC. And I do mean NEVER. I probably havnt pulled MF without trade in over a year, but I get champs like syndra (Who I actually do play and enjoy thank god), poppy, nunu, aatrox, LEONA quite frequently recently, ETC. I liked ARAM when it was as it's name implied. I didn't care if I got absolutely roflstomped because my team comp was trash, because it was exciting not knowing what I would get vs who. now I can list the 10 champs I get more often by many times over and its just not fun anymore. Bring back REAL ARAM Rito, wtf are you thinking? If you want to make KINDA random all mid, go ahead and create another game mode for people who want that, but keep ARAM random. Edit, this is Feb-5-2020 and I own all but like 15 champs or around there

Without specific knowledge of the algorithm in use, it is logically impossible to state with 100% certainty whether a given system is random.

I've had days where I get the same champ 3 or 4 times IN A ROW lucky I can normally trade them away or have a RR.

I get Kat WAY too many times for RNG Xin, Vi aswell. Arams likes to ram melee champs down my throat and I hate them so much.

At least they stopped giving me Garen LEGIT every 3rd game.

it is freaking random , but includes most of people's champions' pool , of course everyone own MF and Lux , and not everyone own Yorick and Volibear , you gotta get used to it.

I only know that ARAM balance changes are a big joke and just make a lot of champions really unfun to play while others are still blatantly overpowered. Like the global healing reduction and oracle elixirs... so dumb.

The reason you aren't getting them is because of the other team getting them with their ARAM only accounts (accounts with only the best ARAM champs). When the other team gets a champ, it is removed from the possible champs you can roll.

As their looting system is not random, I guess that Aram could be not-random as well. All-melee teams happen suspiciously frequently (probably all-ranged ones too, but they are less "problematic").

Also, Aram-only account are a problem, and sadly this company allowed them, without any counter-measure.
