ARURF (and ARAM) ARE random

So I played 180 games of ARURF between the two weeks it was available. I own 73 champions currently, and had access to 85 over the 2 weeks with free champions.

Of the champions I could play, these are the number of games I played with each: *this doesn't account for rerolls (which I rarely used), trades, or when other people dodged

Ahri - 4 Anivia - 4 Annie - 4 Ashe - 1 AurelionSol - 5 Bard - 3 Blitzcrank - 1 Brand - 1 Braum - 4 Cassiopeia - 1 Chogath - 2 Corki - 2 DrMundo - 1 Draven - 2 Ekko - 1 Elise - 4 Fiddlesticks - 2 Fiora - 2 Gangplank - 3 Garen - 2 Hecarim - 3 Heimerdinger - 1 Ivern - 3 Janna - 3 JarvanIV - 2 Jax - 1 Jinx - 2 Kalista - 4 Karma - 3 Karthus - 1 Kassadin - 1 Katarina - 4 Kayle - 1 Kindred - 5 Leona - 1 Malphite - 4 MasterYi - 4 MissFortune - 1 Mordekaiser - 4 Morgana - 3 Nidalee - 2 Nunu - 1 Poppy - 4 Rammus - 2 RekSai - 2 Renekton - 3 Riven - 6 Ryze - 1 Shaco - 3 Shyvana - 3 Singed - 5 Sivir - 1 Sona - 2 Soraka - 2 Swain - 1 TahmKench - 4 Taliyah - 1 Talon - 3 Taric - 3 Teemo - 1 Tristana - 3 Trundle - 2 Tryndamere - 3 TwistedFate - 1 Twitch - 2 Varus - 1 Veigar - 3 Vi - 2 Viktor - 1 Warwick - 6 XinZhao - 1 Yorick - 1 Zilean - 2 Zyra - 1

The champions I own but never played are: Alistar - got 3 or 4 times but traded Amumu - never got Graves - traded once, someone dodged once Lucian - never got Nasus - got once but someone dodged Sion - rerolled once Syndra - got her on sunday Udyr - traded once, rerolled once Irelia - never got

This should show you that

  1. You're no more likely to get free champions than ones you own.
  2. The champion you get is random (or atleast as close to random as a program can get). Out of 180 games played, riven and warwick had the most games played, both of which I traded for a few times. I played 2-3 games on average with every champion.

Just because you didn't get one specific champion, or saw the same champion a few times, doesn't mean the game modes aren't random.

I think that one of the reasons people complain about "randomness" is due to the champs that people buy. Lets be honest here. Who wouldn't rather buy Xerath than Aatrox or Mordekaiser
