Can you just remove Snowball from ARAM?

I don't care if Melee's go back to being useless. The fact that Snowball can basically guarantee fights and easy initiations for 80% of the melee roster is just broken and unfun.

Or at least put something else in there. Snowballs are the worst.

Have you tried dodging it

Snowballs are the ONLY thing that make about a third of the champions viable at all in ARAM.

There are many balance changes that could be given to an All Mid mode... not that. While it makes bruisers even more deadly, a draft mode option would really help get a true metagame going.

Poro King was basically draft, kind of, but let me tell you, ALL people did in Howling Abyss when they were able to pick a champ were abuse all the freelo busted ARAM champs

That was draft/ban? As in, Ranked style draft/ban? Huh, I guess I don't remember that detail. Also, I don't remember it offering any sort of balance/competitive meta, which is what I want in HA.

no. its great. all melee would have no chance if it didn't exist...I have about 3k Aram games under my belt and have played it since it went up. I always pick Mark now because it serves as a kill secure for adcs and mages as well as a brush check too. I'll pick it over flash even if I want to take heal.

btw, an all tank team always loses to an all ranged team early. a team with 3 tank/bruisers will win the late game (post 18) more often then not. ranged characters have a distinct advantage of the melees in that they can secure farm much better as well as poke and knock down the towers faster. melees have to take huge risks to go in with a mark to initiate and need to be prepared to die doing as much damage or disruption to the opposing team as possible. The characters with the highest survival chance for full team fight engages late game are DrMundo Garen Alistar Udyr Olaf.

I like not having a meta in Aram as it would completely ruin the game mode due to the obvious op champs in ARAM who aren't actually broken because an actual team isn't usually built around them and players that have focused mastery on them: MissFortune Morgana Sona Varus Xerath Lux Amumu Illaoi Karthus Ashe KogMaw Ezreal Brand Fiddlesticks Heimerdinger Ziggs Zilean Katarina and now this &$#(@ Jhin

In all my 3k games I've never won with a champ 100% of a time. I would say 70-80% is my highest win percentage which are probably with Ashe Sona Illaoi and of course Lux who I'm all really skilled with, but admit would be probably completely broken in an ARAM draft meta. Either way, if these 3 don't have a good team around them and the other team is good, it doesn't matter. You will lose even with them. Note that only one of them uses the snowball to initiate in a full team fight.

TLDR: basically the snowball isn't the problem. Its the random 1 million players out there along with the random champ pool. I have around 60 champs and there's only a handful I hate playing (such as Ziggs Corki due to having to constantly position and spam shots from the back line).

No,it's the only reason aram are fun for me because melee are more usable meaning I don't just get a mage and harass the enemy team until I win anymore. Gets boring to have no competition.
