Suggestion to make ARAM More Random

I love playing ARAM games, I get to try out new champions, it's less time consuming and fast-paced. However, one annoying thing about ARAM is getting the same champion over and over. There has been times that I have gotten the same champion two or even three times in a row.

I'm proposing that the last-played champion be taken out of the pool of champions that are randomly selected. For example, if I get Alistar (who I happen to have gotten a lot recently), the next ARAM game will not give me Alistar again. This will increase the randomness of the champions and reduce the consistency of ARAM accounts in a way.

Technically that just reduces the randomness of ARAM...

Just make it so that everyone has access to all champions in ARAM. The chances of getting the same champ twice gets reduced by a lot and it prevents people from gaming the system to only get champs like nid and lux.

This would just strain matchmaking. Unlock more champs, problem solved.

I posted a few suggestions, awhile ago, that would eliminate the perceived problems listed in this thread: ie; Getting the same undesireable champ over and over and over again.

Natually, my suggestions were met with the usual resident repsonses: "Oh, that'll never work! Let's just keep the system we have!"

While the OP's suggestion (Remove the Last played champ from the random selection pool) is a good one. I believe that RIOT has said that its impossible to re-roll the same champ, which means that even if we actually see it happen, that RIOT must have implemented some system (which is not foolproof) to eliminate immediate re-roll. Thus, It is Player discontent with the ARAM system that needs to be addressed.

My ideas were:

Eliminate the Time Penalty for Dodging
Implement an IP fine for Dodging 2a) Implement purchasing Re-Rolls for IP
Make ARAM an Unlockable mode: You must own at least 10 champs to unlock ARAM.
Implement a Personal Champ Ban List. For every 10 champs you own you gain 1 Ban.

I keep a Database of my ARAM games. Currently Evelynn Evelynn has a 10% chance of being rolled. She appears once every 10 rolls. Which translates to: I abandon 1 out of every 10 ARAM games. Not a happy situation. My ideas would eliminate this problem.

I have 26 (estimated) champs and I got Twitch 3 times. Random? Maybe.

ITT Smurfs with 20 champions complain about getting the same ones few times in a row.

Random champions with random runes/masteries and summoners, how's that for Random?
