Anyone else not like the ARAM gold changes?

They said they implemented the changes because of matches that would go back and forth endlessly, but from my experience now the better early game team just snowballs without the other team having a chance to reach their better late game before the inhibitor is gone and the other team is fed. Anyone else having this experience, or am I just getting bad matchups?

Yup. They basically changed it so that early game champs and poke comps automatically win more.

Before you could turtle, get some tank items and teamfight properly. Thats gone now.

FFS, I actually played ARAM to get away from stuff like that. I liked actually being full build. I liked games lasting long enough that you can actually show some skill and it mattering. Even if you got a bad champ because you are not a mid main.

Agreed, I loved the constant team fight aspect (especially in late game), and it's great practice for real team fights. Aaaaand it's gone

I don't know the changes, but I miss my support items. Like seriously I liked the income, it isn't my fault other people don't use them.

Basically, everyone gets income from minions now, and there's a longer window for assists. This means more gold for the team with a better early game, and they just snowball. Then super minions are also buffed, which is another kick in the nuts.

Ouch. I liked being the guy with a support item trying to make my own gold.

This also. I built frostqueen on any champ that can remotely use it.

Yea, it was nice to use the alternative support items. Like Frostqueen, Face Mountain, Gold Ball have fallen off in ranked but ARAM they still had value.
