Would anybody else be interested in a Draft queue for Howling Abyss? (With Poll)

Hey everyone

I really like the Howling Abyss Map. It makes for a nice, straightforward, non-serious match with little strategy involved. The thing that gets to me though is that the only queue for it is ARAM.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy ARAM as much as the next person. However, there are times where teams are heavily imbalanced (one team easily overpowers another), or where I get a champion that I despise (rerolls only do so much).

I used to be able to find lots of Draft mode Howling Abyss custom games, but that was before the ARAM queue was introduced. Unfortunately, now there are very few draft mode Howling Abyss games in the custom games tab. It makes me sad because I really enjoy the Howling Abyss Map, as well as being able to pick a champion that I enjoy and having generally evenly matched teams.

I was just wondering if anybody else shares the same interest in maybe one day there being a draft mode (or some other type of modified non-random pick mode) queue for Howling Abyss.

If I could ban champs I don't want to random, that would be great. As it is, the thought of getting a random free to play champion that I'm terrible with does not appeal to me.

Only if they open the champion pool up and gave a better deterrent for dodging

People will still dodge because they don't like the matchup. This happened in Dominion all the time, and sitting through 5 minute drafts and having someone dodge at the last second over and over gets old fast.

HA needs Blind Draft.
