A Productive Alternative to ARAM

Lover's Lane (Feel free to come up with something better for a name)

  • I'd like to state that this is an alternative to the current idea of ARAM: which tends to be, "ARAM is only the game mode where we go when norms/ranked is down" and "This isn't a serious game mode anyway." Because there are some that only play ARAM, myself included.

It's my hope that there are ways for us to reconnect with the rest, and even maybe the more competitive side of League of Legends. That being said, here is an idea - rather than continuing the unearned abuse to ARAM.

LOVER'S LANE: Murder Bridge

  • 5 players per team.
  • Remove the level boost on Murder Bridge.
  • Chosen Champions instead of Random.
  • Add alcoves.
  • Add Pick/Ban Phase

Ideology:

  • Creates a standard team-fight experience in a fast-paced environment
  • Helps players learn individual champion specifications within the tight environment.
    • This would help players in normal/ranked games by helping them understand where and what they are doing in team-fights in areas such as the top/bottom lanes, as well as tight areas in the jungle; especially when they aren't ready to join ranked.
  • Teaches players to respect damage output from individual champions.
  • Teaches players to see when and where they can all-in.
  • Could replace ARAM as a game mode that helps better teach the aspects of normal play/ranked play.

Alternative Map: Reverse Alcove. One lane for the game, but add a roundabout in the center.

PLEASE DO NOT ADD ALCOVES TO STANDARD ARAM IF THIS DOESN'T CATCH ON!

this just sounds like Ranked ARAM with extra steps.
