Why ARAM is a Vital Gamemode.

Bear Volibear with me here. I think that the direction the game is going (Fast Paced, split second decision making, rotation Heavy) the more you know about your enemy and their champions the easier it is to win games. For this reason, I think playing ARAM is the Best solution for players wanting to get to the next level. It's one thing to read the ability descriptions and watch the Champion spotlight (Keep em up Phreak). It is an entirely different matter when an ADC Main has to go and play Yorick . ARAM will introduce you to champions you might never pick up otherwise and its a nice place to go and play league without the more serious "Your sidestep and missed aa lost the game" attitude that comes with SR. I personally learned more about mages and tops and odd picks through ARAM than playing a Ton of games against them. It also lets you get a feel for the actual channeling times, range limitations, move speed etc that you might not think about reading the ability summary in client.

Now, Riot, we recently got a beautiful new update to Summoners rift (very pretty) that has made some of us (friends and I) very excited about what season 6 will look like. However, The Abyss and our two ghostly buddies look very sad to be left out. Might we expect to see a VU coming for the Frozen Bridge?

Your point is spot on. I learnt A LOT of champs while playing ARAM and found my love for many champions includingIrelia Diana Zyra, and many more. I love ARAM, and always will. AND it's so much more laid back, you could probably get away with doing something like ADC Nami .

That being said, some champs you probably wont learn much about since their play style changes drastically due to the environment difference (Nasus for instance)

I recently started playing ARAM because I wanted to try out some other champs on a less competitive basis, but without the crutch of bots (because bots suck). I find it entertaining and enjoyable while expanding my experience base using other champions.

i kind of figured out how to use Cass thanks to ARAM. i probably would have left her as one of the 5 champions i've never played if she wasn't free last week. still need to play Yorick Poppy RekSai Shaco . certain champions definitely play differently in ARAM

No. It's the 2nd newest map, and still the best looking of the 4.

We're getting a Crystal Scar VU and that's final.
