Weekly reminder that Riot removed ARAM bans because people wanted to play specific picks...

...which goes completely agains the whole purpose of ARAM, which is experiencing various champions in various situations.

Based on Riot's reason on why they removed ARAM bans:

For players who just wanted to reroll for those champs, and didn’t care about having a perfectly balanced experience, it now felt like they were never available

What's the big deal with people not getting the champions they want? That's the whole charm of ARAM and if people don't like that they have fewer chances of getting their one trick pick, then the gamemode isn't at all for them.

Yes, I'm back another week to (oooooooh what an horrible action) complain about the best addition ARAM ever got who unrightfully got removed based on bad reasons (and, once again, the option of unlocking the champion pool in the gamemode isn't a a reason, stop, it'll never happen and you all know it) and faulty feedback.

Bans were the best thing that came out from the recent ARAM changes and it brought much more satisfaction to people who truly enjoy the diversity of ARAM. The "balance changes" that came along are barely effective at all (it was said several times before, even before the balance changes, that raw number modification on broken or underwhelming champions in ARAM will probably never have enough impact unless mechanical changes come along, which is highly discouraged either way) yet, people (including Riot based on their post) act like they can replace the raw and efficient gatekeeping bans had. The worst thing about those balance changes is that they often impact our base knowledge on each individual champions (which is kinda a founding concept of "skill" in ARAM), we can't really reference our past experience with each champions since some do more damage, some less, some take more, some less, and some are same as before, but unless you mentally remember EACH changes on EACH champion by checking their howling abyss buff, it is highly confusing either way.

Other than the OH SO TRAGIC AND INCONCEIVABLE 30 seconds extension to each game (what a tragedy, really...), there is no reason to not bring back bans to ARAM. So, once and for all:

If you didn't enjoy ARAM bans because you couldn't get a specific frequently banned champion, you don't enjoy ARAM's base concept and it is pretty self explanatory
