lets say

xerath, lux, vel koz, jayce, master yi

vs

lee sin, garen, gangplank, rammus , irelia

and the ranged team wins the game in 10 minutes 40 kills to 5 kills. you dont have to report ur melee teammates.

tl:dr i was with a ranged team vs melee team and we won super hard and post chat salty enemy members were asking for reports.

relax its just an aram and we had better champs.

I can't tell you the number of games I've won where we had 5 melees against 5 ranged. Or where it might have been something like 4 ranged and one melee against 4 melee and one ranged. People need to quit whining, learn how ARAM works and devise a counter strategy as opposed to just following the same build that they looked up on MobaFire back in season 2.

Master Yi is ranged.

OOOOOOOH

Funny thing is most melee comps win pretty hard at level 6 and onwards, because most ranged champions are squishy AD carries and mages and most melees are assassins, bruisers or tanks

Where's my report Riot function? Everyone knows ARAM isn't really random, so everytime somehting like this happens it isn't actually chance's fault. It's Riot's.

5 ranged is bad.

When you get high enough ARAM elo you start playing against smart people who just give up the first turret and hit level 6 and destroy your entire team.

The best team comp is 2 bruisers (or 1 bruiser and a really good tank like maokai/alistar) + ADC and a ranged AP. 5th champ doesn't matter.

When there's ranged vs. melee, the melees needs to go super agressive. Xerath and Vel'Koz? None of them got any mobility to speak of. And Lux is squishy as can be, as well as Xerath and Vel'Koz. And in your example, the ranged team got 2 gapclosers. And Rammus vs Yi (or even against Irelia's stun)? I won't even comment on that.

I'd put my money on the tanky melee's, if there was any skill to speak of on that team.

I've heard the expression "ELO doesn't matter in ARAM"...but it bloody well does. I've had Xerath's for breakfast playing a melee champion, and I've known I'd be dead within 5 seconds if I saw him (he was Diamond 1, so I had to grant him a huge skill advantage). But as in every other mode, teamwork™ is also essential in ARAM to win, as well as the random luck factor in the champion picks.

I play alot of ARAM (2100 wins or thereabout), and while I try my best in every match, I play not really caring whether we win or lose. It's playing with a detached care modul that makes ARAM...fun, regardless of matchups.

However, there is one thing about ARAM that makes me edgy: the leavers! And I'll have to make a rant of it, but how hard is it really to just suck it up and play, regardless of which champion one gets? If someone can't handle a random champion, which they know full well when selecting the mode, why queing up for ARAM at all? I once got Shen there - he was F2P, I've never played him before, I could not trade and I had no rolls..so what did I do? I said in the main chat "first time Shen", and tried to make the most of it. I asked for advice regarding build, which abilitiy to max first, what to do and how to play him when I needed some tips. We lost, obviously - and while the "worst shen ever"-comment was wounding, I just reported the douche - but just appreciated the experience with Shen (and the knowledge that Shen was not a champion for me - which saved me some IP), and not really caring that we lost an ARAM game.

this is why I dont play aram and will never respect the game mode. You have a better chance of winning a las vegas slot machine than winning an aram.

if you have a Tryndamere who builds right and is very aggressive you can win vs all ranged, i know because I've done it before, of course the other team could have just been really bad but still.

Did you just really put Yi on the ranged team?

Aram can be so one-sided, it's the whole point of 'random'. Many aram games you can tell who is going to win @champ select; or within the first 5 minutes...

I'm not saying this is 100%, but in my experience there are few 'good games' in aram - especially since so many people now make aram accounts and only buy champs good at it.

to be fair I've won a hilarious amount of those 5 melee vs 5 ranged matchups in arams just by abusing our level 6 and defensive item powerspikes. its actually insane how hard it is to kill melees as ranged in that period where they have 2 defensive items and you have IE/shiv but no last whisper

so maybe they were upset because people weren't bothering to work together to take advantage of that window or something. or maybe they were just salty. doesn't really matter either way, report the people asking you to report their teammates and move on imo :)

ARAM needs to have like a set quota for melee vs ranged champs per team to keep that kinda stuff from happening, like minimum 2 ranged champions per team

This whole problem could've been avoided if they didn't play that shitty mode.
