When will people realize ARAM is for fun? (Small rant)

Goju··1 votes·2,116 views

I tend to lean toward playing ARAMs, over ranked - (as i have said before in my topics) because I enjoy the fast paced action of teamfights, and the requirement to work as a team rather then one person "lone wolfing" it to victory.

However - Is there a way we can put in the game mode "THIS IS FOR FUN" - too many people think Team Solo Mid is watching them for the upcoming ranked ARAM games. (which do not exist that i know of) and scream and yell even if they are at fault.

I get it - a out of position person can cost you team fight, but saying "EZ" after it, is just being a douche-bag. I often wonder why they allow /all chat in the first place. Rarely if ever do you see it used in game for any constructive talk, normally its the odd joke, or trash-talking. (maybe that is just my solo experience talking)

My question is this - Why are so many league players so toxic? I mean unless you came into the game a Master of it, (which is doubtful) why are you taking ARAM seriously? If you wanna be serious go to ranked, let Tryndamere try his blue build, let Ashe go AP, even though it makes her a one shot wonder - much like the olden days of league itself its a place to try out new ideas, in a fast paced game. Before "meta"builds came along and people started with the if your not building X while playing X champion. You need to go back to bots, or uninstall. That is just harsh. Why not say something like "Hey Tryn, you realize, that item 3025 does not really help you cuz you have no mana" rather then "Stupid Nub, get gud or go bots" -

Let's just try and enjoy the game mode, that is what its for

Nobody likes to lose. But you should never let losing a game spoil your fun. If you must win a game to have fun playing it, the game isn't fun enough on its own and you should move on to another game.

you're using really generic terms when it's not necessary.

this game is designed so that it's not fun when you're losing.

They will figure it out when ARAM is no longer a game mode someone can main, and take too seriously.

You do realize this is a 5v5 game and having a teammate with stupid item build ruins everyones fun. I suggest you go play Habbo hotel or Runescape if you just wanna "have fun". you can play with people in your early age group and your mentality and there is no winning in these games. I don't think you have ANY ranked experience at all to even know how /all chat is used properly. you are what makes aram unbearable. AP Ashe is another example of the mentality of an Iron player, You build something that has absolutely no effect on the champ what so ever just so you can have "fun" and waste the time of the other 4 people on your team because you are dumb, stupid and selfish. Like i said, go try something for age groups of 6-9 y/o where you fit in.

But that ult does like 109 more damage!!! /s

Except, there are multiple, videos of like you said AP ashe - sniping people for full hp from fountain and helping there team hugely. - now granted you might be a little uh, if ashe goes ap when you have a full AP team already, but again ARAM being a fun mode, a place to test ideas, and enjoy team fights galore. Does it really hurt you, they have made games last less and less time so people can spam run games.. i think its what? 20 min now? when it used to be 60, then 45, then 30 .. a GOOD ARAM can take 45 min, ive seen it.. where teams are giving there all.

But - thank you for your comment, and ill let the whole "You are what makes ARAM unbearable" go, rather then start some flame war with a obviously pro player who.

When will people realize video games are for fun? Fuck an aram. Ranked, draft, all of it. Its a leisure activity. No skill gained from league can be translated into anywhere else in life. Its purely for fun. Oh and I think some of that all chat trash talk IS fun for them. Thats how they have fun.
