Im loving aram. The match ups are always fair and balanced now.
I don't know what Riot did but every aram game isn't a stomp from one team to another. Its awesome!! The fights are insaneeereerr

Umm... this is far from accurate.
If there is a Morg or Fidd and they hit a snowball, click-in, and ULT+Zhonyas - it's an ACE.
As someone with 1k games in aram, I hate the snowball. Here are my reasons:
Aram was perfect for practicing positioning and honing your reaction speed, reacting to 5 people is good practice no matter who tells you otherwise.
Tanks were viable before the mark/dash was implemented. Part of aram is the ability to assess the enemy team and counter build accordingly. Tanks needed to be opportunistic but were very rewarding, now they are just plain broken.
You punish good players by giving others snowball. The snowballs are hard to see for one. It takes one snowball to hit 1 team mate to lose a fight and cause the other team to 'snowball' out of control.
Mark/dash ruined the meta beyond champ screen, do you ever see anyone running anything but mark/dash anymore?
The fact that the spell makes you invulnerable makes it largely uncounterable.
These are just my thoughts on the new changes, I have always managed to do well regardless of my champion on aram and for that reason I will advocate that Mark/dash was an unnecessary change and ended up damaging the mode more than it helped.

Snowball didn't balance anything, it just shifted the power away from Ziggs/Xerath/Sona and made Fiddle/Alistar/Galio/Amumu/Morgana overpowered as hell.
Adam is some where around balanced, but the snowball is broken and they sometime place me against diamonds... that fight was horrible.
