The updates in ARAM made ADC too strong

Patch 9.7 ARAM change:

  1. reduce damage from further than 900 units = nerf poke mages = ADCs are less likely to be poked to death and are more likely to have high health when the fight begins On the other hand, front lane champions actually do not benefit from this change too much because: 1. they have MR increase by levels plus they usually build MR items. 2. item 3083 is common for mid-late game front lane, and poke does nothing to them.

  2. Backtrack = if you cannot kill ADC within 3 second then they live and kill you = low brust tank and fighter can rarely kill ADCs

  3. You can ban champions = people usually ban disgusting champions like Ziggs Velkoz Fiddlesticks , and ADCs actually hate those champions the most = in most games ADCs do not need to face the champions that they are afraid of the most.

You cannot feel how strong ADCs are in ARAM after the update by only looking at the win rate of ADCs, because it is very common that both team have at least one ADC. However, if: 1. your enemy team have ADC, but your team do not, or 2. you get chance to play ADCs a lot both before and after the update and you know how to play ADCs, or 3. you play tanks, you will feel how strong ADCs are in the curret ARAM games.

Who cares about balance in aram dude?

This is why riot shouldnt have done this in the first place, its just a shitty, non competitive mode, leave it alone.

Sona is still the best champ on ARAM by far, if you are gonna complain about ARAM balance do it with the most broken champ dont you.

I feel like teamfighting champions are more frequent despite me banning whichever one I don't feel like playing against, and this is causing ADCs to run amok when one team has at least one good teamfighting champion and yours doesn't.

This is just my experience from having to play the stupid mode for the stupid rewards.

and when more people see that adcs are busted and unfun, they'll start banning them

The only champion right now with all the changes floating around that seems gigabusted to me is Maokai. That guy unlike Sona managed to avoid all manner of relevant nerfs and is a menace and actually gets picked very often on ARAM(presumably by ARAM-only accounts). Some nerfs and buffs may have been too hrsh, but it's the irrelevant or non-existent buffs that are annoying me. I'd be fine with Sona not getting nerfed at all if it meant more champions like Caitlyn and Draven got nerfed.

Had a Kai'Sa on my last ARAM game, when i was checking the changes, bans, and had my hopes up. I know what this thread's OP means. ADC's damage seems to be still alive and kickin'. Mages certainly felt less aggravating.
