ARAM needs remake

Void2258·1/10/2020, 1:33:57 AM·14 votes·8,624 views

I have had 8 straight aram matches where my team has been 4v5 the whole game (or until just before the end). I have not been in ANY reasonable aram game for 2 days. That is two days straight of nothing 4v5 ARAMS. Not one even decent game in over 48 hours through no fault of my own or any of my teammates who are playing.

And yes, also in every single one of these games, once one person is clearly afk, other people also afk. The game is 100% pointless if there is an AFK from start, and people know this, so now people refuse to waste half an hour on a game they weren't going to win anyway move the character around for 8 min losing slowly in spawn just so they don't trip leave buster. And then there are the trolls TAUNTING people in chat about how we can't end the game without their surrender vote and how they are just waiting to report for leaving the game if anyone gets fed up with them running at the enemy turret.

The entire thing is a waste of time and a huge toxicity pit in one way or another. I do not care how "short" the game mode is. ANY TIME SPENT WITH AN AFKER IS WASTED TIME. All modes MUST have a remake option. Any time someone isn't playing from the start, the game should cancel. There is no point ever in playing these games out. ALL MODES MUST REMAKE 4V5s. No game is short enough to be worth playing when it is a priori unfair due to no fault of anyone IN THE GAME, but only the one not playing. You are punishing everyone who didn't do something wrong on the effected team.

If your problem is with random people afking....I would suggest making a full premade and going that way...so you can make sure and do a ready check before each match.

I love 4v5 matches. simply for the fact I have to try harder to win. Its a challenge that i must overcome...and for me that is what EVERY game of league is about....finding the equation and solotion to it...if i get it wrong i lose, if i get it right we win.

I hate that people are allowed to afk at the start of ARAMs, why is that considered acceptable? Because it's casual? There's 9 other players in the game, people have ZERO consideration for them and Riot doesn't care. That's why I barely touch ARAM anymore.

The guy crying here about 4v5 in ARAM while me remembering how I used to win soloQ 4v5 in season 4.

Part of the remake rule though is what, no deaths for the first 3-5 minutes (not sure what it is)? NORMALLY aram won't go for 1 minute w/o a death/first blood which would negate the ability to remake even if it were an option. Unless people just sit in base w/ the afker which is highly unlikely in aram.

You're currently at the MMR where bot accounts are. They have a much higher rate of going AFK, as they're run on overworked machines on saturated connections.

You can take solace in the fact that the bots are randomly assigned to teams (within the same MMR range) so, if there are bots (or others who randomly don't connect) they will be placed on the opposing team 55.556% of the time. They will be on your team only 44.444% of the time. This is because there are 5 opponents and only 4 other players on your team.

https://na.whatismymmr.com/Silent%20Gravity I'm an ARAM account. I dislike playing in 4v5s because the team with only 4 gets access to their ults so much sooner, and are likely to be able to gain a large enough lead from that to dominate the game.

This advantage has grown slimmer since the leveling changes (whenever that happened), but it still feels like an advantage for the team with 4.

If you've got a Udyr, Nidalee, Jayce, Bard as the 4, then they'll be unable to get a lead because of the meaningless ults, but that set would generally lose no matter what the fifth brought to the table.

If you can push off defeat for a whole half-hour, then victory is easily within reach.

Actually I'm gonna side with the majority here (I think) and say fuck it I welcome the challenge. Sure, it sucks but sometimes you get situations where your 4 STOMPS enemy 5 or even better back-and-forth battles for FOURTY-FIVE MINUTES before win. So fun, even losers were having a great time and chatting. Both of these games happened to me last night after a lackluster few days.

Also, do what other have suggested - play with premades... I have an ARAM folder in my thing. I welcome anyone to add me, can do voice chat if wanted, down to play whenever! Peace yo we audi
