ARAM sucks really hard now.
I am a player with nearly five thousand ARAM games under my belt. The last patch has completely ruined ARAM.
First off, remember how you said you were sick of ARAM accounts getting all the best champs? Well you made that MUCH easier to achieve with the top bar, although I like it, you took a half measure in placing only the last 3 free rotations of champions in the pool. You need to just pull the trigger and make all champions available for ARAM because you have fixed nothing, nearly every game I play contains a Lux, Ziggs or Xerath. Period. You fixed nothing there, its worse now more than ever, I would know.
Secondly, the removal of warmogs has assured that whoever has the best poke team wins, tanks are basically worthless as tits on a bull now. Also this removal has taken away the only reliable counter play to the aforementioned Lux, Ziggs and Xerath ect.
Something has changed with the amount of damage taken in general. There's no competition in ARAM anymore, it's ALWAYS a one sided stomp, whoever has the most damage and range wins. I've had more under 10 min wins and losses since this patch than I have ever had prior. Not to say the game has officially ended at that point, but stomps are more rampant now than they have EVER been. I know when I can win an ARAM and when it's over.
I think Riot secretly likes ARAM accounts and have facilitated that play style in ARAM now more than ever. It's taking everything I have not to full on rage out about this, I literally don't want to play anymore. I used to have so much fun playing ARAM, you've completely gutted it. It fucking sucks, IT SUCKS SHIT IT FUCKING SUCKS. I'm done, useless. Been playing since beta, the state of the game is the WORST it's ever been, CANCER EVERYWHERE. Why are you so cancer.
is really a lot harder without things that are core to their kits. Plus building it on AP champs was fun! I don't want to go as far as saying that ARAM is terrible as I still enjoy it more than SR (4000+ games here) , but that was one quality of life change I just didn't agree with. There are also some clear glitches in the new items such as Jayce being able to abuse the Melee only weapons and such.
and a couple other hp items and then farm your passive. So cancer lol.
I'd regularly go 20+ kills with that.
