Aram Balance
Make "random" aram teams always have 50% chance to win; therefore, if you have a top tier aram champion, either your opponents have one or someone else on your team has a bottom tier champion.

Please no. That would no longer be ARAM. If you can't accept that some games are just going to be one-sided, ARAM just isn't for you.
Just grant some value or points to every champ (according to the winrate they have in ARAM) and make each team have a total score point roughly equal. You're still in random, but the "5 pokes versus nunu taric quinn (and 2 merely okay)" can't happen anymore. Not so hard, way funnier and balanced.
there are plenty of aram players that have accounts with only op champions; the top tier of aram has a large number of players with a tiny champion pool because otherwise they can't compete
Lets keep random as random as possible and not turn it into "random."
Think about what you are suggesting. Even if they implemented this the person with the low tier champ rr or trades to someone with a rr. Are you saying that person should only rr to an equally bad champ? And who decides which champs are op? Of course some are but skill and comp are more important and since its as random and balanced as it can be without real effort from riot to balance around aram which prbly isnt gonna happen and I dont even know if it would be a good thing anyway. For example some ppl think kat is op while I suck with her and will trade or rr her. The game cant know ahead of time how good someone will play a champ or if they will rr or trade therefore it cant dictate who gets what champ in any way other than attempting to be random.
The best balance would be afforded by having no rolls, and every team has exactly the same champions. The wait time might go up by a little, but at least the teams would be even all the time. (also, if you have "free to play, unowned champions on one team, the other should as well.)
Then it would at least never be such that you can tell from the start that you cannot win. Riot, make the change. Make random also be balanced. If you need help with the concept, I'm sure there are plenty of programmers who could replace the ones you have and do exactly that.
