Unlink ARAM mmr to Summoners Rift mmr

If you happen to be a ARAM player you have probably noticed after a while many teammates who do not care if they win or lose. This is NOT because they actually played 100s of games to get to their position and all of a sudden don't care how the game goes. These are Summoners Rift players who have played close to no games (not enough to even rank in ARAM) and are auto ranked into a higher tier of players because of their Summoners Rift score.

Ask yourself, how is it ok that some people play literally 100s to 1000s of games and another player has played 0 ARAMs and gets on their team? Do you really believe this person who has 0 invested cares about their team or winning? Do you think this helps the overall health of a game when MANY players simply start the game with "i don't care at all"?

I am not saying those types of people shouldn't play, I am simply saying they need to earn their spot like everyone else. Also please don't say this never happens, I see it happen all the time with whatsmymmr.

Riot could you care about ARAM as much as Summoners Rift for just this once instead of tilting the board completely to one players side so I don't feel like I need to find a different game because you will never care about me to begin with?

i find the opposite... mind you i have played 1-2k games on aram and countless more in SR

in 5v5 draft most of my teammates hover in the iron-gold range (my mmr changes a lot from bronze-gold) in aram its silver-diamond. I get the odd case of plat+ or so in SR but ARAM is consistently just mid/high-mid ranked players. (usually im the one running it down because aram is just the "lets go int" gamemode)

Just get good.

If you get to a good enough aram MMR you will only play arams with high aram elo players instead of just high elo players. Or realize that aram is a for fun gamemode, so it doesn't really matter.

Nooooo...I like playing against the people who only play SR and main 2 or 3 champs. They don't know how to play any other champs and I know more or less how to play all of them (jack of all trades, master of none) so they are easy to beat.
