When did ARM become ranked? (Small Rant about Game-play)

I remember when ARAM was simply a custom thing, people would join and do outrageous builds, such as everyone built the exact same items, to AD Zilean , and AP Graves , so , exactly when did ARAM become the unofficial ranked game?

No longer do you see people having fun, its turned into "win win win win win" a chant that more annoys then anything else, I steer away from ranked games, because to be honest, finding decent people to play with that aren't "pro" is a pain, if someone makes a mistake, they make a mistake, in a ranked game, i can almost see the blood pressure rising , cuz there is something to gain from it, if you get put with a "bad player" your rank suffers as well.

But ARAMs, do not have a rank, they do not require one, they are meant for people to have a blast and goof around and enjoy playing.. but now its everyone has to hide in the bush , you must RR till you haveMasterYi Sona or some other OP champion of the day, and if you don't get one , dodge! When did the game become life or death and not a game?

I enjoy PLAYING league, i enjoy testing out odd things, I don't play ranked, so i could avoid that for lack of a better word, the bull***t , that comes with not being a platinum player. But more and more i see people screaming, and hollering in ARAMs about people who didn't build Bork on there tank so they could deal dmg, or a AD who decided eh, i feel like attempting something off the books. There should be some kinda of disclaimer posted when you click on ARAM that reminds people ARAM is meant for enjoyment.. you are not getting paid by Riot or anyone else to play ARAM, Team Solo Mid, or Fanatic will not recruit you for your Urber ARAM skillz, relax.. have a coke and a smile,and enjoy the game.

(( As a side note : they should remove the re-rolls and give each team 1 or 2 bans instead, this would keep the spirit of all random, as well as allow the teams to get rid of characters that make the teams heavily one sided, Such as Sona or Teemo can, this is in no way saying that they are OP, there are a HOST of champions that in the ARAM scene are a pain to come against, but this is a way to allow each team to remove 2 of them from the running, just a thought. I mean, if people are gonna play ARAM and scream like its ranked.. we should have bans! LAWL ))

This item ruined the fun of ARAM.

Different people enjoy different things. There are some unfortunate people who legitimately enjoy winning more than the game itself. If you play a bunch of games you will run into them, but unless you're really unlucky they won't be in every match.

Just keep at it and remember they are not the entire player base, only a small, sad part of it.

Don't forget when you get a tank champ and you build ad or ap and people yell at you for not tanking. Then you have people that sit and hug the turret all game and when you die they tell you to stop feeding. I try to remind them that it's ARAM but they really don't care. lol

Well i will admit, its nice to see at least a few people see the same times i see, and I am not saying that i have NEVER found a group in ARAM that realizes its for fun, but more and more, people are either dodging to avoid champs, or whining that the other team got this or that.. its fun .. enjoy the game ya know?

So since you all were so helpful , figured i would ask another question ..

Maybe I am not a great player, maybe I am missing some key that everyone else seems to know... but this item, this item 3153 , what drug induced coma did this item come out of .. Age of Bend your tank over?

I mean , wow.. 8% "current" hp, + Atk Damage + Atk speed + life steal , + activate ability with slow, lift steal and damage..

Where is my tank item with +8% hp, Armor, Magic resist and active ability to make you immune to life steal for X seconds? oh and a speed boost. no? why not, cuz that would be rather over powered .. wouldn't it ...

Now i am not saying that this item didnt fix a few champs that were lagging behind, (I.e Irelia ) however, it has made some champions neigh unstoppable. (i.e Jinx ) I have seen Jinx rip open and just simple gut people like fish..

So, barring that I am missing this key item that stops bork in its tracks, or something else , someone wanna give t the noob a hand?
