ARAM Que Times

Cyclosorus··2 votes·2,036 views

Why are ARAM ques so long? I have pretty much exclusively played ARAM for 5 years and I have never before seen the "We are experiencing long que times" for ARAM. Is this RIOT slowly working to remove ARAM like Twisted Treeline? Who would wait 30 minutes to play a game mode that barely last 20 minutes? This is ridiculous.

They have never done that before in the past. That just shows how low of value ARAM is now. I guess if ARAM gets unplayable, then it is just time to uninstall.

EDIT ARURF also has long que times

They have ... when TFT was more popular than ranked itself, man ... the server crashed 3 times on NA and EU because of the game mod that was full of people that tried to play, same is with ARURF when time goes by and people will be fed up with ARURF they they will play less and the server stability will normal again, they had to compensate from the mode that is less played from other.

i have played aram almost daily for years now and never once has the que showed up yellow with the long que time error. I don't play SR or care about it, but ARAM has never had issues before. Anything over a ten second wait time to que was unusually long

I think they got rid of some servers for ARAM to make room for ARURF. I just dropped ARAM after a 20 minute queue.

ARURF is eating up alot of servers so they lowered the servers for aram if im correct, wait a bit of time and they will quicken up

I just thought of something, I lived in EST closer to their main servers until two weeks ago. So, maybe I am in a different shard or server than previously that has a different amount of cocurrent players. Maybe this is just normal for the region I am in. No idea

Dude, It has nothing to do with server distance at all or your location or your account this is on all servers to maintain the stability of the servers ... every server has limit how many people can be logged on and how many games can be played at the same time if that reaches the limit the server can crash.

ARAM and every other game mod on league of legends are on the same server. They probably extended the Q to aram because it the less played game mode so the server stays stable. They have active players more right now because ARAURF and Ranked are up = more games = server has more to operate games and lobbies at the same time = server stability is lower --> what can lead to a crash = No game mode even aram if a crash happens ... That is the reason why they lowered it to EVERYONE not only you

If you read on RIOTs help they say that they have servers and shards..... That would imply multiple separate groups within each server. Honestly, I am not even sure what is rustling your jimmies since my original post stated that this has never occurred before in the 8 years that I have played this game. Unless you work for RIOT, I'm gonna go ahead and assume that everything you are saying is 1000% assumptions. I have played ARAM through every single URF/ARURF and never had to wait 18 minutes for an ARAM que.
