Seriously there are broken champs that just require you to point and click for an immediate pentakill (Katarina, Yi, Amumu, Annie, etc.) But all of them at least require you to point your cursor over enemies. Soon in the other hand doesn't require any type of pointing. I would get more into detail about this, but if you ever played ARAM vs a Sona, I'm pretty sure you understand where I'm coming from. A Lich Bane Sona at full build can literally kill an ADC in less than a second. Purpose of the thread is to raise awareness of this so riot could try to fix this issue. Plz Rit0

It's all random all mid. Don't play it if you're going to whine.

Maybe before healing was nerfed again but now there are much stronger ARAM champions than Sona. Alistar Janna Fiddlesticks

My last ARAM match:

Enemy team: Sona, Dr Mundo, Talon, Heimerdinger, Ryze My team: Hecarim, Malzahar, Sion, Gnar, Wukong.

So: They have Sona They have Mundo (best sustain, which owns in ARAM) They had Heimerdinger (constrained space and the whole game is sieging, his specialty) Ryze has point and click CC and built in spell vamp, Talon is one of the best AOE AD damage dealers.

We dominated. Hard.

Why? Because hard engage trashes sustain. Hecarim ult + Sion ult + Gnar ult + Wukong ult... was overkill I guess.

I guess I have 2 points here:

Even the most OP ARAM champs (Sona, Fiddlesticks, Nami, Taric, Katarina, Master yi, Doctor Mundo, etc...) can be beat
ARAM is random and hence has a strong luck element. It's not meant to be entirely balanced. Which I'd argue is a good thing. It keeps people sane, they don't flip out on every mistake. The average attitude in ARAMs is about 100x better than it is on Summoner's rift.

Also, despite the above, being a good player still makes a huge difference in ARAMs. I believe my current ARAM record is around 132-99 (57%) (last time I remember looking I had 13X wins and 99 losses).
