Some champs are clearly favored over others in ARAM (and not like the old ARAM)

Lux is kinda meh in the new ARAM. I don't know how much damage % reduction she got but she's not that great a pick anymore.

Akali On the other hand, who couldn't thrive in old ARAM, now does a billion damage. I don't know why, I play all of these champions very often and I can clearly feel the power difference. My last Akali game on ARAM ended in 28-10 kda.

Kaisa gets a 12% damage buff? So dark harvest Kaisa can chunk half a squishy health with only W.

Nothing makes sense anymore. And I understand why they need to do these damage reduction changes. League is now a hyper-paced game where everyone has 1-shotting assassin level damage. But, guess what, the new ARAM feels a lot worse than the old one. I want to play ARAM to relieve the stress of SR but the new ARAM is more stress-inducing than ever.

Lux is still S tier in ARAM. She still has a 55% win rate there.

On the other hand, Akali is still statistically trash with the buffs. She is within the top 20 worst performing champs there.

Now Kai'Sa is something else entirely. AP poke Kai'Sa is lowkey cancerous in ARAM.

I don't think any ap poke builds are low-key. I see more ap Kai'sa than I do ad or even hybrid. I only see ap Shyv anymore.... Non-ap Nasus is a god-damned unicorn.....

Feels amazing when you have an ap assassin, two poke mages and two "bruisers" building full ap so that Galio, Kassadin and Mundo walk over your team post 10 minutes
