Getting Tired of Onesided ARAM and "Randomness"

The "randomness" in ARAM is so completely bs, if it's random then why do I keep seeing the same kinds of comps over and over again? Almost every game, the enemy team gets 2 strong tanks to front line, 2 strong carries, and 1 support to just sit next to the carries all game long. This last game was pretty much no different except that they had 3 strong carries and 2 dumb tanks.

Galio Nautilus Ezreal KogMaw Ashe Nautilus to pull in on people and root them, Galio to just pull in taunts every time, all the while Kogmaw gets to sit in the back with extra range and just melt down everyone without any contesting. Ezreal going ap just chunked through everyone's health even though our tanks had plenty of mr but it doesn't matter at all. And then Ashe was basically just a distraction from the other 2 carries that did most of the work (even though the real work was their tanks).

Sion Braum Ekko Pyke Garen Meanwhile our time was filled with a bunch of melee's that didn't have too much engage to break the attack range dilemma. Sure Sion could charge in but the tanks would just walk in the way or Ezreal would blink away, so pretty much useless. Pyke could pull people in, but the same problem would occur with tanks in the way. Only reason the game went on for so long was because it basically felt like they slipped up on purpose to drag it on more. We almost had their first tower while they were already practically knocking on our core.

So how is this random? It sure is a random match make that our comp has next to no synergy and their's has a lot. Their kind of comp is so commonly seen whenever I play ARAM, but my team seems to be the only one to actually get a randomly put together comp. Something that happens consistently isn't random. The fact that their kind of comp is consistently seen in ARAM means that something is causing the "randomizer" to give the team champs that work well together; all the while I'm over here getting weird mixed matched comps that hardly work.

I hope I'm not the only one experiencing or noticing this "anomaly" cause it sure feels like it's only happening to me and no one ever brings it up or anything. Either everything is peachy keen for everyone else in ARAM or people just don't feel it's worth to talk about what's wrong with ARAM.

The human mind is so bad at detecting true randomness that the "shuffle" setting on apple products had to be made LESS RANDOM for people to actually believe its random.

People were complaining that it wasnt random because they were getting the same song twice or three times in a row. Or hearing it every other song. So they added a feature that purposely picked songs that havent played yet. And better gave you a false sense of randomness.

Its not just you, anyone who rolls any champion twice in a row comes in here talking about how aram isnt random, and somehow the enemy team is picking their champs, blah blah blah.
