Ranked ARAM
Differs from normal aram by having:
Bans: Similar to how they did it before and removed it, one ban per player. Unlocked champions: All champions are able to be rolled. Rerolls: Everyone goes into the ranked lobby with two rerolls.

Even at the risk of increased dodges and whatnot, I feel like being able to see and react to the enemy team's composition is an important feature. To that end, I don't think rerolls are productive. Either the Bench exists and both teams just keep swapping around until the timer runs out, or the Bench doesn't exist and rerolls go back to being frustrating gambles.
A better alternative would be to use the standard Draft format (i.e. sequential picks, visible teamcomps). However, rather than the full champion roster, each player is only offered a choice of three random champs of similar power to choose from. No Bench, no rerolls. Picking from three champs is effectively the same as having two rerolls, without enabling Musical Chairs. Furthermore, the sequential picks add another skilltest via drafting while simultaneously providing players an earlier opportunity to respond/adapt to ARAM's randomness.
i would actually play that wow
