Ranked ARAMs

I would like to propose an idea that's probably going to get shot down lol, but I think it's a great idea. There's a ranked for 3v3s, so why not ARAMs? ARAMs overall would show the player's skill over a large base of champs and gameplay in general, showing the individual is a rounded player with a broader base of skills instead of just 1 champion/role. Also it makes up for afks or disconnects a bit by keeping the afk/disconnected person slightly leveled up with gold, even if a bit behind, and the exp is split among the 4 fully-participating members instead of a full team to give them a chance. Obviously players would need to have the certain amount of champions they would need for a regular ranked game, as well as be level 30.

The problem is the random portion of it. It's hard to show skill on a certain champion when it's so easy to pull a completely crappy team comp in general.

Not to mention the need to balance champs with healing skills that basically make or break an ARAM team.

RNG is highly frowned upon in the world of competitive gaming, wouldn't fly. ARAM is too heavily reliant on team comps, which leads us back to where RNG screws you.

RNG?

Random Number Generator.

Point being, the randomness of comp selection would lead to a ranked system where luck plays as much a factor in your final rank as skill does, and - potentially - more.

I'm not sure it's impossible, but I honestly don't think there would be nearly enough player-support to make it worth-while. And then, of course, they'd have to do something about that ARAM smurfs that pick up the top-10 ARAM champs and never roll anything else.

I hate to say this, and am probably going to get reported for doing so, but............................................................................................................................................... ............. this is possibly the WORST idea I have ever heard.
