ARAM(ish) for Summoners Rift-- No More Meta!

zach22221··1 votes·374 views

I feel like a big problem with LoL is that there are over 100 champions in league, so some will naturally be stronger and feel like must plays to be competitive making a large portion of the champions rarely see any serious play (tell me the last time Lucian or Ezreal weren't in your game). This kills the variety that Riot tried so hard to create in the first place.

Additionally, the system is currently set up so maining 3 or 4 champions and 1 or 2 roles gives players a huge advantage over players who try to play every champion and role equally which, again, kills variety. "Jack of all trades, master of none."

My solution:

ARAM for Summoner's Rift (no-rerolls) except each team has the same champions randomly assigned. If the enemy gets an op, you get an op, and its fair.

I'm tired of all these similar games with the same champions and want to see some fun, quirky but competitive matches like Mord, WW, Cassiopeia, Riven, Heimerdinger vs. Mord, WW, Cassiopeia, Riven, Heimerdinger.

I feel like it would just be the people who got the OP picks styling on the people who got Galio. All the bad parts of both SR (long game times, laning phase) and ARAM (lack of viable comp-building, no control over champion pick) and not much of the good.

First off, Galio is sitting at a 54.27% win rate and is a really good counterpick to a lot of the ap assassins.

Regardless, the weaker champions wouldn't get beat up too bad by the enemy op's as long as they play and position around their carries (ie support). Heck, if you end up with someone really up like Tahm Kench or Taliyah just try to use your cc and make a bigger impact than your enemy mirror.

Also, I like not being able to control my champion pick because I can play the entire champion pool with a lot less of having to get beasted on by 1-tricks or OP's that show up every single game. (You could still have bans)

Most importantly, this game mode would encourage people to explore a lot more of Riot's content instead of playing 1 champion for 500 games and would force people to be more creative with their comps like "Oh snap, we have 5 ADC's" someone build a little tanky, someone go AP, etc.

I can't imagine liking it, though. Mirror matches are my least favorite part of LoL (since once you get behind there's very little you can do). Even though I play almost exclusively ARAM, I don't think that a mirror-match system would be good for the format. The fun of ARAM is adapting your comp to deal with their comp, for me.

A completely serious, totally legit question for Riot.
