Not in the spirit of ARAM

All Mid All Random. But how random is it, really? All I'm saying is, the ability to:

-Reroll twice -Trade -Choose from limited champ pool

Is entirely not in the spirit of ARAM, and obviously breeds balance issues where as a truly statistical breakdown from a random open champ pool game mode wouldn't. Free ARAM.

Trading seems completely fine with the spirit of ARAM, as it has no effect on teamcomps and therefore no effect on balance. Rerolls are theoretically fine, as they help mitigate bad luck with initial teamcomp rolls.

I agree that limited champ pools are not fine though, as some players (i.e. ARAM-optimized accounts) take advantage of the limitations to unfairly bias their chances of a strong pick. On the other hand, I'd argue that it's more of a game health issue than a game balance issue. ARAM is lacking in Riot support, so champion power disparity is natural consequence. Running into a strong champ or two is fairly expected. Running into the same strong champs for multiple matches in a row makes that power gap much more evident and frustrating.

I wish it'd get more love from Riot
