ARAM Dodging - We Need A Change

Johnny Popoff·Feb 14, 2016·4 votes·593 views

I play a lot of ARAM (closing in on 2000 ARAM wins). One of my biggest gripes with ARAM is all the dodging that goes on in this mode. A lot of people queue up and if they don't get a champ they like they dodge. This defeats the purpose of ARAM which is to play random champs (and random means sometimes you should have to play a champ you don't really like). It also really, REALLY sucks when you get a champ you've been dying to play and someone else dodges and you lose your opportunity. Riot has been cool enough to give us rerolls which should be enough compensation for people who get a champ they don't like.

My proposed change is simple. Just make it so if you dodge you automatically get the same champ the next time you queue for ARAM. This one minor change would stop the majority of the dodging the happens in ARAM.

PLEASE consider adding this change to ARAM Riot.

Yeah it can be pretty bad some days (8+ dodges in a row.. -_-).

But, what if you have a champion you -want- but a team comp you don't want to play it with? What then? It is an edge-case, but it's still a possibility. :3 And likely opens the dodging to even more abuse in that scenario.

Personally, I could live with that if it means we cut down on the vast majority of dodging that currently happens in ARAM simply because someone doesn't want to play a specific champ.
