What do you do when...

Your ARAM team has a first time Gragas, an AP Ashe, Fidds, Hecarim and a first time Trundle. The enemy ARAM team has an experienced Nami, a Morgana, a Trisana, an experienced Akali and Gangplank.

I'm not a very negative player, by any means, but I just about wanted to cry when I saw their team. They essentially got 4/5 ARAM Allstars.

What do you do? I wept and fell to my knees, screaming "Why me?!"

P.s. the arguments over whether AP Ashe was viable was hilarious enough to make up for it.

when that happens, you just do your best and try to lose with grace.

ARAM is, by definition, Random. Sometimes you get in a game that is completely stacked against you and you have no shot at winning. It happens. Other times, you can't lose. Rarely, it's extremely balanced and you have a good game.

I played and ARAM yesterday. We got destroyed, absolutely demolished. But I'm not upset about it. There was almost no possible way for us to win. Our team was ALL MELEE. Their team was ALL RANGED with varying hardness of CC, but they ALL had cc. OK, they had a Tryndamere. But that just meant that the only champion that ha to enter our attack range was also invincible... We had a Kayle, but she wasn't using Intervention in a way that could have helped us win.

I mean, you can see for yourself:

Sometimes you just can't win, no matter how much you want to. ARAM is fun, but by no means is it fair.
