Tanks in ARAM / Suicidal maniacs

Yung Boozie··3 votes·2,760 views

25% of my games are pretty much an auto-lose because of the overpoweredness of tanks in ARAM. And even though I understand that ARAM is for fun, and that you can play a bit more reckless. Why the fuck are players not punished for dying once every minute? These two factors really shit on the 'fun' aspect of this game-mode.

You mad about tanks?

How about mages who are resourcless nowadays and just spamm everything off cooldown without ever running oomr cause they bitched that Riven and Zed have no resources

Mages do run into OOM problems early in levels when their base early scaling and CC makes them strong before items start stacking. Later in games they tend to not run into mana problems but will have to do multiple spell rotations to get tanks even below half HP.

mages cant do sht against a nautilus or mundo in aram. they dont do damage because tanks are too strong.

He is saying that tanks are too strong and because its random......it pretty much comes down to whichever team gets the most tanks on their team will win. The tanks can just play reckless and do what they are supposed to....tank, by diving over and over....while their team does the damage. There is no drawback to them dying in ARAM.

Its not like Summoners Rift where there are 3 lanes...so dying a lot there has a bigger impact.

I would like to add that Maokai is pure cancer in ARAM. Strong sustain, good CC to initiate or disengage, massive AOE Ult, and just enough brush that his saplings are a nightmare almost anywhere on the map besides bases.

Totally agree with that last little blurb about items and Large AOE. Comps with lane consuming AOE are the worst cancer to deal with in ARAM. Zilean by him self is not a big deal, but with 1 tank and plus any combination of these AOE Champions: Brand Veigar Velkoz Anivia Ziggs Zyra Orianna Lux MissFortune makes me want to die.

OH GOD, don't get me started on how warping but amazing presence of mind is. Karthus with Archangels and ultimate hat with presence of mind IN ARAM, destroying your damage graphs, ignoring your zhonyas CD. Not to say Karthus isn't a fair or broken champion, it's just disgusting playing against something like this. It's even more incredible on some tanks too.
