Other game modes do matter

Summoner's Rift is not the end all be all. 5's is fine, every now and then sure, but having one favored game mode to the exclusion of all others GREATLY hinders replayability-- especially six years in like I am. You already let Dominion and the Crystal Scar die a horrible death. Don't let 3's/TT and ARAM/HA fall to the same fate.

-Address the bot problem in both -Open up the champ pool in ARAM so ARAM account fucks can play bad champs like the rest of us -Do mode-specific rebalances to keep URF Sona level winrates from popping up, which they do, every fucking day

Fuck SR. Fuck 5's. That's all.

I think it's okay to have one favored mode. For instance, it's much simpler for pro circuits to focus on a particular map.

The problem is that Riot favors one game mode to the detriment of all others. It took years before map-specific champ outliers received balance changes (and Riot's officially stopped doing map-specific balancing now). Additionally Champion Mastery wasn't enabled for TT and ARAM until months after launch, and, even now, Mastery tokens are SR-exclusive for whatever absurd, illogical reasoning. Moreover, the most recent Arcade event had SR-exclusive missions right after Riot used ARAM-specific missions as an example of bad missions.

Riot caring more about SR is fine. Riot only caring about SR isn't.

Opening up all champs in ARAM won't happen there is no way they can let people play all the champs for free. It also is not realistic to expect people to learn all the champs, the roster is too big. I don't only have ARAM champs unlocked, but that doesn't mean I want all champs unlocked, I have less then half the roster unlocked because I haven't even learned all of what I have already, why should I unlock more even though I have 100k+ excess IP sitting around most of the time.
