Could a Rioter explain to me the idea behind ARAM bans...

... because it's so ridiculous that I still actually think that it's some kind of April fools joke....

Like seriously?? People are complaining about Twisted Threeline and asking for it's rework since ages and you go for the most unnecessary change that you could ever come up with, to the most successful and fun mode created so far.

What next? Adding extra lines? Because some people don't like to be forced to play mid... yeah let's add top and jungle to ARAM. Adding champion picks? Because some people don't like to be forced to play with random champions and they prefer their mains... Deleting Yasuo and mages form ARAM rooster because nobody likes Yasuo and Hashinshin doesn't like mages....

It's fucking ARAM - ALL RANDOM, ALL MID. ALL RANDOM!!!

If you can't comprehend with such concept, don't play the fucking game mode, it's simple as. I am most sincerely sorry(I'm actually not) if from time to time you have to play against something that you don't like, but that's tough, this is the fucking game mode - you have to deal with what you have and it's random. That's why it is so fun to play. So many great combinations and each match is so fresh because of it. Depending on what you have and on what they have you change the playstyle and wombocombos etc.

I cannot believe that you actually went with this r%%%%%ed idea... Haven't you already learned that those who complain most about ARAM are those that don't play it at all, or from time to time and they get triggered because they cannot understand with their little brains that sometimes you get the advantage and sometimes enemy gets the comp advantage, BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING RANDOM.

You seriously have some mental problems if losing an ARAM where you had 5 melee and they had 5 ranged makes you triggered. I don't give a shit about you lads, but don't destroy the game mode because you are mentally weak.

Here is my message to Rioters: Making changes to core ARAM mode concept will entirely destroy the game mode as it will no longer be ARAM. ARAM MUST:

  • Have rooster of ALL champions available in the game.
  • Be random.
  • Be mid.

Anything else will result with this mode being not ARAM, because the core concept of the mode will change. Here is my advice: If you have any doubts on ARAM changes, always refer to the original ARAM concept(the source), back then when people were making a custom SR and picking random champs.

Guys I mean it, there is so many features in the game that REQUIRE a necessary change, and you jump out with this.... Remove it asap pls.

Unpopular opinion: you're doing the right thing to complain about it. These aren't permanent changes, so Riot is still looking for feedback. They would roll it back if people don't like it, though I suspect most people will.

As for the twisted treeline reference, a lot more people play ARAM than TT. It's an unfortunate reality for TT enthusiasts, but it doesn't make sense to spend dev resources on a mode people don't play much.

So basically you just really like having the team comp advantage, and are probably yourself one of those people you claim don't play it but complain about it.

Mentally weak? Yeah, you’re definitely one of those ARAM-only account players, you’re just posting on your main account more than likely.

ARAM-only accounts are made to cheese through the randomized aspect of the game, something you seem keen on reminding us of. There is nothing random about playing against accounts that have half of their roster (or more) with champions that make ARAM an easy win. That is not random, that is manipulating numbers to work on your favor, which is negating the whole point of the mode being, as you put it, “ALL RANDOM, ALL MID”

Except in practice prior to these bans it wasn't random. There are people with accounts set up specifically for ARAM, where they only unlock the OP champions. Add in rerolls and you see these oppressive champions like Lux or Sona a disproportionate amount of the time.

I would prefer they simply unlocked all champions in ARAM for all players rather than bans, but this is the next best thing.

Because games are decided mostly on champ select https://lolalytics.com/aram/worldwide/platinum/plus/champions/

Bans were needed for a long time.

It is their fix for the number of aram only accounts in the game. Aram was never truly all random, the champion pool for an account was always the champs owned plus the rotation. Aram only accounts abused this behavior by only having top tier characters in the mode unlocked giving them more favorable matchups much more often than with normal accounts. I absolutely love that I won't have to face constant Ziggs Lux Varus Sona spam anymore. Everything else about the mode will pretty much be the same. There are 143 champions in the game and with how long the game has been out I'm sure a majority of players have a decent sized champion pool available to roll from. That is unless they have an aram only account. Time to start buying new champs!
