Would honestly be more fun if it selected from the FULL champ base, instead of having ARAM smurfs with only poke champs.

RNG bye.

There's no RNG in aram. It always tries to force you into playing certain champions periodically.

InternetTABJan 9, 20151 votes

not sure why you have been downvoted, I'm am fairly certain someone proved this a long time ago. Between that and smurfs with only specific champs it's really annoying.

7ha7guy777Jan 9, 20153 votes

yep. there are 4 or 5 champions that are much more "random" than others for me.

Tryndamere (bought when i was a newb never play him) Zilean (same) Sion (don't mind this one, bought when i was a newb, played the crap out of him in poro king) Nasus (beginning to see a theme here. bought as a newb, never play outside of ARAM)

I love getting Olaf in aram....I always get a triple-penta

Magma Lux MidJan 9, 20151 votes

Wait, does that mean you get at least a triple, quadra, or penta in the match, or that you get three pentas in one game?

HeadCrusherJan 10, 20152 votes

both

ChimeiTekinaNasuJan 10, 20151 votes

I think he means 3 Pentakills in a row.

INTER5TELLARJan 14, 20151 votes

When I owned 65ish champs (I used to keep track) I got Taric 3 ARAMs in a row. Another instance, playing ARAMs with friends, out of 10 matches when I owned 55ish champs, I ended up with Alistar 4 times. I understand (for the most part) how randomness works and RNG too, for that matter, but both of those instances don't feel all that random.

I wrote a detailed explanation of how ARAM's champ RNG works last year on the old boards. Here's a link and I'll repaste the main section below. But yeah, sometimes true RNG feels like it has a mind of its own. o.O

ARAM's RNG is truly random from within the champions you have available at champ select.

I'll elaborate a little here. ARAM's RNG is truly random from the champions you own + the free weekly rotation champs. There is no weighting on any groups or champs whatsoever. When using a reroll, you obviously can't reroll a champ that someone on your team already has, so the system randoms again from your remaining pool (you are also guaranteed to not reroll the exact same champion again, so your pool is technically n-1). Rerolled champs go back into the available pool for everyone else to random if they use any subsequent rerolls.

Yep. Like one person must always have a team of Melees vs Ranged, or short ranged vs longest range ever. lol

KalarepaJan 9, 20154 votes

Yeah, if only ARAM was truly random....

Just check the stats of champion popularity. Or simply ask yourself, do you really see Shyvanna, Yorick or Udyr as often as Ziggs, Sona or Lux?

"Just hard engage on them"

as if there's some ARAM law that guarantees that if one team has a poke comp then the other team will have a hard engage comp

InphernalJan 9, 20158 votes

laughing at all the poke comps in Poro King.

Klatn YeloxJan 9, 20154 votes

In Poro King, there is one champ that all poke teams can have to win the game. Orianna. One orianna ult, and the hard team engage is over before it begins. or if you soft engage, a quick shield and a QW and you lost the trade. Nothing to do. Nothing to say.

KalarepaJan 9, 20151 votes

Well I still was using 2 of my bans on Ziggs and Ezreal in Poro King.

TheI3igDaddyJan 9, 20157 votes

You go into an ARAM match expecting it to be peaceful?

ARAM is like taking an uppercut to the face before you get into the actual boxing ring.

recently played a game where my team had MasterYi Soraka Sona Taric Annie ... we healed 76.8k damage lol

stealthfox94Jan 9, 20155 votes

I remember one Aram game this was literally the matchup Darius Shyvana Warwick Tryndamere Mordekaiser vs Ziggs Sona Xerath Lux Jayce . GG from the start

Magma Lux MidJan 9, 20152 votes

I had a similar match-up (I played Shyvana that match). Oddly enough, we actually won.

RottedApplesJan 9, 20151 votes

i love arams that devolve into mass chaos and brawling. It is far more interesting that way

Space BumJan 14, 20152 votes

That match up is a time game. If the poke comp tryhards they will win every time but if the tank comp makes it to the 30 minute mark they are probably going to win due to being unkillabley tanky.

Bluebaby1399Jan 9, 20153 votes

As much as I love ARAM, it really sucks when you get the short end of the straw. Having a melee team against a ranged one, or just one with a lot of poke ends up boiling down to a lost game. Wouldn't it be a bit more progressive for the randomness in ARAM to be a little bit calculated? So that one team has a high champ favour than the other? It sounds like it would fix some issues, while not taking anything away from the gameplay. I don't know. What do you guys think?

NoRAd AlphaJan 9, 20151 votes

I dunno, I've won several aram games with melee teams against all ranged teams. It's really all about figuring out when to fight and when not to fight, but poke comps are a lot easier to play correctly. (Dodging helps too)

Bluebaby1399Jan 26, 20151 votes

You can't always lose. To me and I'm certain other people believe it too, there shouldn't be a problem with evening out a playing field. Having games go 70/30 because of random comps just makes it a waste of 20 minutes.

Jayce not found on list how could u forget prenerf male nidalee?

TexicantJan 9, 20152 votes

yep hate when that happens. especially when the poke team also ends up with much cc (think lux, morgana, xerath)

lDontLiftIcarryJan 9, 20152 votes

i just afk behind turret until six against those. I don't even bother walking past turret.

I don't care what anyone says, Varus is a 100% guaranteed win in ARAM. I remember how the enemy team would have a Janna and Varus EVERY SINGLE GAME the last time he was on sale.

Aquaman711Jan 10, 20152 votes

The best ARAM match ever: Lux , Ezreal , Ashe , Draven , Ziggs , Xerath , Jinx , Velkoz , Caitlyn , Varus It doesn't matter who's on what team. You're computer will have a seizure. I Garen -tee it.

And funny how I barely ever notice this. Must be a coincidence, right? I prefer it the way it is now because there is so many champs I hate to death like Riven, Morgana or any primary support for example. I have issues. I get super excited when I roll Diana in ARAM.
