Anyone else feel like ARAM games were a bit Lopsided? (Pre Bilgewater)

90% of my ARAM games ended up with extremely lopsided teams. One would have while the other had champions such as . It was so ridiculous how they used to be. It's like the game was trying REALLY hard to keep you at a 50% win ratio.

As of the bilgewater update, ive only seen one game where the teams have been somewhat like that out of the good few that I have played. And for that, Id like to say: Thank You Rito for fixing something that most people didnt even see as a problem (even though it clearly was).

Just a guess, more people playing ARAM without ARAM specific accounts means a more diverse pool of champions to be picked upon. I'll say this tho been lovely not having it be 1v2 +bots

You can be also sure to get a lot of AFKers as soon as you step a bit above the 50% win rate ;)

that's the whole point of ARAM...you simply don't know who you'll get, and the larger the champion pool you have the more like you'll get someone who isn't good on howling abyss

You can get champions that you dont own. Ive gotton Karma before and ive never played her. Ive also gotten Rumble and even Bard. Never touched those champions. It's just unfair how one team could have all the best, then the other has ones that are absolute abominations.

then that's simply because they're on rotation that week. The whole point of ARAM is you odn't know what you'll get. I've had games where both teams and very good team combinations, and i've had games where everyone was melee or we had 5 adc's.

Karma wasnt on rotation. Bard wasnt on rotation. Zed wasnt on rotation.

It's impossible to get a champion that's not in you pool of available champions, unless there was a bug

I also have been able to switch with champions i dont have and they werent on rotation as well. You say glitch, i say game mode mechanic.

What's funny is that I had an heavily over 50% win ratio in ARAM before the Bilgewater changes. Despite having gotten Rek'Sai twice.

I'll throw this out there. I saw about 3-4 months ago a lot of lopsided team comps and they would go as expected. However, here lately I've seen comps that should've crushed it get crushed or go toe to toe rather well. I think if you have a certain grasp on mechanics and with the right players on the team even a lopsided comp can be a crushing victory.

What you say is true but most of the good champs on ARAM are extremely easy to play. Heimerdinger : place turrents, get kills. Teemo : place mushrooms on health spawns, shoot everything that moves. Blitzcrank : Pull their carry. Amumu : Q + Ult. Xerath : Long range poke + lots of sustain.

Yorick : Hard to play let alone nerfed to the ground. Taric : sigh Warwick : Best thing in kit is a supression. Still isnt very good of one either. Singed : You cant even be annoying and proxy farm. Rammus : Okay.
