Bots Is Everyones Problem

I play ARAM (want to reach 1000 ARAM wins and 1000 Summoner Rift regular wins before playing ranked) and lately there have been in about 50% of my matches bots. This affects not only the players that want to have a fair 5v5 pvp match but Riot as well. When bot accounts are allowed to play players can reach "S" rating easier which means they unlock loot boxes more often which means they potentially get a skin they would have paid money for otherwise. Please Riot have more consequences for bot accounts.

Keep up the good work -G2GAnshin

I'd like to ask a off topic question.

"I play ARAM (want to reach 1000 ARAM wins and 1000 Summoner Rift regular wins before playing ranked) "

Would you be willing to explain why? I ask because I am a low elo player, so I don't understand the benefit of ARAm (outside number of games played at a faster pace) will provide.

Should I consider playing more Aram?

I mean, you're getting better familiarity with other champs as well as understanding team fights better, imo.

Thank you for the follow up. Maybe I will play more Aram!

If you want to play ARAM for fun please do so but it is actually a terrible way to get better at team fights. It is missing the positioning and tactical decision making that is so vital to SR team fights. If anything it will teach you bad habits that get you and your team killed if you go in thinking that it is applicable to regular matches.

I was considering this at well. Thanks for posting here. My apologies to G2GAnshin for changing the direction of this post.

Because it's a video game.. and the whole point is to have fun?

True, I was not clear. I meant what benefits does ARAM have that translates into a better solo/duo ranked game player. As you see it's up for debate.

Fun you say? I agree, ARAM is fun.

Well in that respect it lets you both learn the basics of champions you never/rarely play, as well and gives you a chance to play against a lot of non-SR meta champs that you would otherwise really see. It also does help with practicing to dodge skillshots as you'll spend a LOT more time dodging in ARAM than you do in a typical SR game.

ARAM makes you respect the power of strong siege comps as well. :)

ARAM, to me, helps me learn the different champions in League, their abilities, their cooldowns, their power spikes, and their roles in a teamfight. It forces me to play different champions, some I do not necessarily like (For example Yasuo, I got him because I like Japanese Samurai culture but I would just go in and die so I started to hate him but as I kept getting him in ARAM I started to understand his flow. Im nowhere near a god but I am improving and getting kills without giving them up as often and it makes me enjoy playing him). As a support main I would not get the opportunity to play these champions on the Rift. (Support Yasuo coming soon WOOT! ;} )

ARAM allows for more games, as you stated, and it is all teamfights so I believe I get more experience say learning how to hook an enemy through minions with Thresh and learning how to hook past tanks to get the delicious squishy adc.

ARAM also shows me my role, depending on the champion, in a teamfight. Instead of going all in against tanks with Katarina at the start I am learning that assassins have their time and window to go in and until then to stay back. Another example is instead of 1 v 5ing as a Tank I have to have my team regardless if its a good initiation or not. Without follow up its useless. So I believe it improves my teamwork.

In short: I main support but I want to be a diverse player and ARAM is perfect for it. I am still learning but I believe ARAM offers many things such as lessons in knowing your enemy (forcing you to play different champs), knowing your role in teamfights, knowing your champion pool and diversifying that pool.

Hey thanks, that's a good breakdown of the potential benefit of ARAM. Thank you for the detailed response!
