"It's Aram" Is not an excuse

It's a different game mode to have "fun" but just because it's aram doesn't mean you should:

  • not communicate
  • not build according to the enemy (some special cases such as if you tell your team what you're doing)
  • flash in as a squishy expecting to do damage
  • steal health pods on "accident"
  • not heal when you're a healer (unless you tell your team otherwise)
  • kill steal

Or any other type of Griefing/not playing as a team.

End Rant.

It really is though. I see ARAM as the deathmatch mode of this game. Go in and try to get as many kills as possible. Stealing health pods or not communicating are the only bad things you listed.

But going in as a squishy against 5 tanks isn't a good idea.

Going in like that is just a bad idea in general. Kills or no kills, you can't shop once you leave the starting platform meaning you have to die to shop. You only get to shop a limited number of times a game. If you die when you go in, you increase that number while getting less powerful items but the enemy stays alive and when they shop, they get more powerful items.

It's just not worth it. And is still feeding when you die..

The situation's more complicated than that though. ARAM's the only permanent game mode without an explicit competitive/casual split (i.e. ranked and normal queues), so both serious (like OP) and not-so-serious players (like you) get forced together. Neither playing style is wrong, yet the two styles don't mesh well.

Imagine playing ranked, and half the players are going full tryhard while the other half are drunk and want to screw around. You can sorta cobble together a game, but no one's really that happy about it.

I get more annoyed when in champ select we have only 1 tank that gets either RR'd or doesn't build tank, or 1 other damage source type (say 4 ADs and 1 AP) then they RR the champion. I don't care if you didn't want to play that champion, don't screw us over because you can't handle RNG worse than Auto-Fill. It's what you signed up for when you picked ARAM kids.

It's just a problem in general when people don't know how to make a successful team comp. Team full of ADC? Dead. Team full of tanks? Dead. Team with a tank, AP carry, healer, pusher, and AD? Win.

it's that simple.

Trade with him then? you signed up for a game where RR exists

I would if people would say they were going to do it before hand. Nobody can predict when the idiots that don't say anything are going to do it or if they even want to. I'm not a mind-reader and I'm not going to trade a champion I enjoy playing with a mute just to stop them from possibly doing it.
