@Riot: Can you fix how champions are randomly picked in ARAM?

I can't be the only one who sees these people who ONLY buy champions that are god mode in ARAM (Nid, Blitz, Thresh, etc). It kinda sucks to be consistently matched up against these champs when I get stuck with champs that aren't nearly as good in ARAM. Can you guys FINALLY just make it so picks are made from the ENTIRE champ pool, not just from the champs you own/that are on free week? I really don't feel like it's needed for me to create a whole new account just so I can play ARAM comfortably.

Edit: I know I've seen this post on here before, several times. It seriously can't be a small number of people that want this.

That is a genius idea. Best one I've ever heard cause someone like me who plays a very small portion of his champs but owns all but 6, has a hard time competing because 9/10 games I am on a champ I have little to no experience on.

Should be how it is for everyone. Honestly, I'm pretty sure the downvoters are probably the people who are the ones who do just what I said.

Riot doesn't care about non-SR maps/game modes. This would literally fix almost all of ARAM's problems, as well as giving players a chance to play new champs without IP, but that is precisely why Riot will never, ever do it.

I'm really curious about how the selection actually works as it is though. Even though I see a ton of S-tier champs, I also see a weirdly high percentage of champs that are just absolutely mediocre (or just aren't fun) in ARAM. I guess because everyone has them? I don't know. I've played more Ryze/Kayle/Nunu than any ten other champs combined.

A lot of people only buy good ARAM champs on a smurf account, just so they can play ONLY ARAM on it. But a lot of people also just play on their normal accounts (Like me, and I don't own about 10 champs) so we get fucked really badly.

It may also be your ARAM "MMR". If you play a lot (I do -- I have probably 1200 games of ARAM), you don't really see as many of those dedicated S-tier only accounts.
