ARAM victories are decided at champion select. We should fix that.

Evil Jester··4 votes·2,180 views

As much as I love this gamemode, I fully believe that most of the time the game is already decided at champion select. Its seems to be that that team with the most Ranged Pokes, rather they are grabs, CC or burst, ultimately win the match.

The Solution: What if we changed the way the champs are chosen just enough to deter this. For example, limit the amount of ranged pokers per team. In other words make it so only each team is allowed maybe 2 champions only with a ranged ability above 500 range (just an example). That way for the most part the champion you can get is still completely random, but it's controlled just enough to where you can't tell who will win once the loading screen comes up.

I know its not perfect, but I just find it irritating that once you see the loading screen and the other team has xerath, varus, karthus, nidalee, blitzcrank you know automaticly where the game is going to lead. if not this, maybe something else could be implemented to make this less of an issue.

The issue is with ARAM accounts, they need to make it so that only in ARAM all champions can be selected. That way it's truely all random instead of all random from the pool of champions I own. It's really sad trying to play ARAM and seeing people have a match history of just 2-3 champions.

I totally agree here, and I think rerolling should really be limited aswell - as it adds just another factor why you see sooo many pokecomps instead of truly random-comps with strenghts and weaknesses.

I dont think your aram elo is very high. At high elo poke comps only work if you can close the game in the first 15 mins, after that its much better to have hard engage.

I will take a team of garen, vi, alistar, viegar and yi over nid, lux, xerath, varus and karthus 100% of the time. You just have to hold out for 15 mins and buy the proper items.

Aram is fun :)

lol unless that nid lux xerath varus and karthus are mentally handicapped, they will finish before 15mins and if not have a major lead....your either giving your turret up for free or dying, either way you lose

This comment is a good example of why Riot should make all of our ARAM elo public.

and lol @ you taking exhaust into aram on every champ regardless of team comps. (speaking of mentally handicapped lol)

but please, tell me more about aram.

since when was 40% damage dealt reduction bad? or 50% atk speed? or movement speed reduction?

id rather block 40% of ur dmg, keep u from moving as quick, and slow down your attacks rather than heal 300dmg =)

call me crazy

honestly, soraka sona janna nidalee ziggs and fiddle should just be removed from it

honestly with any of these champions as long as your team does anything useful you win

as well as getting 2+ melee champs you pretty much lose

btw, they should use their roles, every team should have a tank/adc/mage/assassin/support and should randomize those

They should either implement the blind draft mode from Ascention or make it so that you and your allies share one champion pool. This would finally destroy ARAM-only accounts.

The simple solution to this IMO is to add a queue for ADAM (all draft all mid) which I think is highly superior to ARAM for many reasons. -Completely eliminates the possibility of one team getting amazing synergy and the other not. -Allows for strategy in selecting bans which may hinder a specific team composition -Generally the games you play will be much more practical relative to teamfights in summoners rift, which is good practice for teamfights there. -creates a more evenly matched game every game, which I think makes the game more exciting.

These are just my opinions of course, but if you want to try it there are usually people playing it in the custom games lobby.
