Man with the Poro King game mode, I really wish Riot would keep a Pick & Ban version of ARAM! ARAM is my favorite game mode, just hate the random aspect with champion select. Pick & Ban like with t his temporary game mode would make me a very happy man!

As per some comments, to clarify, I know what ARAM stands for, I am talking more in line to the Howling Abyss Map. And in regards to pick and Ban Blind Draft.

Thanks for the comments.

idk maybe its just cuz i find ARAM really fun but i feel like that brings in a competitive side to a map that's so far only ever been used for gamemodes that are meant for fun anyways

closest they ever really got with that was the Snowdown Showdown last year but that was still really fun and not all too serious imo

I have trouble with your statement. Help me. You say you love ARAM! But then you say you hate the random aspect of Champ select...

This is confusing to me because ARAM stands for All RANDOM All Mid. It's from the original DOTA game where you would be randomly assigned one of the champions - there was no unlocking of champions back then so this meant it could be any champion in the game - and the top and bottom lanes were disabled.

So it seems to me that ARAM is not your favorite game mode, but rather that Howling Abyss is your favorite map. If you remove the Random Champ roll, it is no longer ARAM. It would just be Howling Abyss (Draft Mode).

It's called blind draft.

I support only keeping the ban, not the pick
