ARAM strangeness

Now I know ARAM is supposed to be random but does anyone find themselves getting a particular champion more then others? I've noticed that I tend to get the free rotation champions MORE then the champions I actually own. The list isn't very large I only own 23 champions total but almost every time I've been in ARAM this week I've gotten Cassiopeia. I don't even OWN her, she's just on the free champ rotation and Lissandra who I do own I never seem to get. Does anyone else seem to have this problem?

As someone who has played a lot of ARAM. It probably averages out over time, though I feel like there are a few champs I don't particularly see.

The assignment algorithm for champions dictates that it won't be the same champ that another player has. So what ever champs your opponent has (whether they reroll it or not) is going to affect your available pool.

i never noticed that, but maybe there is (or there should be) an algorithm that allows free rotation champs to be picked more often, in order to fight aram-made-accounts (where you create a new account and buy only 3-5 champs that completly own aram)

I mean it may seem odd I have friends who play who own every champion to them I'm weird for having 23. I never got them for ARAM though my favorite mode was dominion. It just seems I get free rotation champs more then anything and as I said this week Cassiopeia wayyyyyy to much. It's just odd to me I do own other champs but the randomness doesn't seem quite as random as it should be.

Yeah, wouldn't it be nice to have a check box somewhere that says "don't use the free champion rotation for my ARAM games" ?

That way we wouldn't have to deal with this shit if we don't want to and other people will still be free to use them if they wanted to.

Or even better, allow us to make our own champion pool for our ARAM games. I mean I like Tryndamere as a champion but on ARAM he's just one of the worst to play, no fun at all. And please don't comment that this will get abused by people that only want to play ARAM, they can already make ARAM-only accounts so it changes nothing.
