ARAM Ban Suggestions

Suggestion 1: Remove it. Reason: It's supposed to be All Random. Philosophy: Potential bans of 10 champs is counter-intuitive to its core element.

Suggestion 2: Make bans cost a reroll. Reason: When you reroll a champion, that champion is technically banned from the other team. Philosophy: Best of both worlds; opting for a no-ban to save rerolls.

Hi, Bans are making this mode a lot less fun overall. It's still playable, but I feel like it's bringing me down to a lower level of game play that I don't enjoy as much. In my opinion, it's fun trying to best against S-Tier aram champs with unlikely champions who would normally be countered. Or, how a team could have an unspoken communication that works together to overcome bad odds.

Now, it just feels like people are just playing whatever is out on the field without trying different builds to overcome such adversities. It's more of a milder battle field without any effort for solid team play.

It's more of a, "oh well, i'll ban that champion next game" type of feel, rather than a "yo, f*** dat champ, let's shut him down" type of feel.

Hi, totally agree with removing bans, it's totally stupid concept imo, when it's supposed to be random... and with bans several champs won't be playable in ARAM. (Played 5 games with the bans... Brand, Veigar, Lux were banned in like 4 of them...)

Anyway... where do you get the stats of how many arams you played? :D Would like to know mine.

Got the stats only by looking at wins/loses at the end of a game... that's the only place I know where to find it.

Riot should just open a new game mode, called NOTARAM, where you can even choose your champion!

i just choose not to ban anything when i do ARAM. normal ARAM does not have bans so why should i have to ban anything?

The ban screen is impossible to use for me due to lag (just this one screen). It lags so much any champion I try to ban (if I can even scroll down without it freezing) has those clicks delayed and then applied to the champ re-roll screen... how convenient that the ban and re-roll buttons are in the same place. Sigh. So yeah, get rid of this.
