Dodge penalty on ARAM

The Play·12/3/2016, 8:01:26 AM·1 votes·348 views

I play only ARAM mostly because I like team fighting instead of farming for half of my play time. And mainly rito hasn't developed any real long term fun map to play with.

Dodging ARAM in champion select should be differentiated with dodging it during the game. A lot of player dodge it mostly because a general bad team comp, like all AP, 0 tanks, or no ADC at all. Now with this new dodge penalty, riot is forcing players to play a for sure lose match up.

The direction of this game is very concerning, not to mention this new camilie coming up, mobile, 100% stun, and 4 second ADC isolation. For Aram player base, Im not even sure if the change will reduce the toxicity or just forcing ppl to quit.

The game has already moving from mechanics to strategizing. Player mechanics on champ has less and less impact as the game progresses, which might not be a good direction. Since this is not a grindy game, player mechanics is the only way for player to be distinctive. Really competitive strategies are hard to be replayed by casual players due to how toxic this community has been

you know what aram stands for? all random all mid. you are not supposed to have a great impact on what comp you get, so i would argue to give stricter punishments for leaving in aram cause its mainly for fun

The dodge penalty in ARAM should probably be more severe. It is just supposed to be completely random, and I do think riot should change it so that the champions are completely random for that play list and NOT based on what a person owns.

A couple of my friends that play mostly aram have ONLY ARAM account just so they get the ideal champions for that play list. Which to me sounds ridiculous.

you ever think that riot is just trying to put us on tilt? like i have some sympathy for them, they gotta deal with some real assholes... but they are kinda doing it to themselves lately. maybe riot itself needs to reform, but they wont fucking admit it.
