At the moment, something slightly similar to something I once posted has been implemented. (the change has been way, way better than my idea) https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/AEegYHAX-idea-for-random-modes-reroll-change

I now had another idea that i want to throw out here.

Instead of everyone having 2 rerolls, how about each player gets 2 champions to choose upon starting ARAM (and other random modes) but reducing the max number of rerolls each one can have to 1. The champ selects starts and you can pick 1 of 2 champions shown to you, the other goes in the already existing pool.

This would start champ selects with 5 already pooled champs in addition to the 5 champions that are already picked, allowing for a better teambuilding experience because you already have more champions to choose from. If the need would be there, players could reroll one additional time to add another champion to the pool. During rerolls, players should also be able to choose if they want to play the rerolled champion or stay on the already picked one to prevent the rare but occasionally happening champion steal after a reroll.

I believe this would greatly reduce the number of times when you are facing pretty unlucky matchups and improve the teambuilding experience. In addition to this, due to having more champions to pick from start there would be a greater diversity of champions available most of the time because not everyone is using rerolls all the time.

Wouldnt this be a win-win for everyone? what do you think about this?

edit: Cant edit title, could some mod pls change "ides" to "idea"

It is ARAM. If you want something more consistent play SR. The point of ARAM is to get variety and learn new things. If every person had that opened pool, then we would only ever see the same champs more than it already is.

I rarely see a completely one sided situation anymore ever since they have the ready pool for rerolled champs. I more often see rounds where one team just is better skilled. I have seen crappy comps beat good ones far more times. I would rather see better matchmaking then have rerolls changed again.

I still think they should just open all champs for ARAM and have it really be random. It is literally the name of the game.

I have had all champions for a long time now, so I don't remember if this is true, .. doesn't ARAM only draft from your owned champion pool and the free rotation pool?

So wouldn't this increase the minimum champion owned requirement?

Also, you have to keep in mind that the same champion can't be drafted on both teams. So if they are presenting a total of 10 champions for each team to chose from, there is already 20 champions eliminated from reroll, and potentially another 9 if you are the last player on both teams to use your reroll.

I don't have an issue with reroll quantity. I have an issue because every time I roll a champion I get their alter ego from the reroll. Something like Shyvana->Mundo->volibear Trynda->Yi->Xin Seriously idk if it is in my head but I have played many many arams and I have started to roll 2 times every time just for the giggles. If your team has no adc it's like impossible to roll an adc afterward. And if there are 3 adc already guess what you are rolling.. NOT a tank but another adc. :/ feels terrible. It's like they are forcing the match to go one way or another with most of the times unbalanced teamcomps.
