...that every (90+%) featured game for months has been ARAM?

I really like ARAM, but you're right on it being excrutiatingly boring to watch. I think it was mentioned in another thread that they were looking into it. Maybe if they make enough ARAM maps we'll get a rotating ARAM map by patch?

I have my fingers crossed, but I'm not holding my breath.

Only in that, as far as I'm aware, TT games haven't shown up in Featured Spectate in years, if ever. With the current bug, Spectate favors ARAM, and before new champ select, Spectate favored SR. It's kinda nice that high-MMR ARAM's getting some promotion for once, but high-MMR SR really doesn't need more advertising. There's plenty of other places to watch that stuff. It'd be nice if Featured Spectate prioritized at least one slot for each of the alternate maps instead of just having more SR spam.

Its not that I dislike ARAM. What I dont like is that I dont learn anything from it which is why I spectate high level play.... to see what they do in different matchups.

Well, you can check builds from high-level ARAM play. Featured Spectate was actually more useful in that regard before Riot added those absurd limitations to viewing match history. That's part of the reason why it's vital to include TT and ARAM games in Featured Spectate. It's relatively easy to find guides or streams for high-level SR play, but that's not the case for the other modes. That's not to say that SR should be completely excluded, but going back to significantly favoring SR isn't a good idea either.
