Non random version of Howling Abyss

Could we have this game mode with the choice of non random?

Some times im trying a new champ, and the teams are rather unbalanced given the selected champions and so I don't get a fair game to try the new champion out.

Thats even if i get the champ i want to try out in the first place. Summoner Rift is good an all but some times I don't have a full hour to spare all the time so ARAM is the next best option.

I guess you mean a queue for it, but in case you didn't know you can set ABAM (all blind all mid) up as a custom on HA

Do you get IP on custom games? Because I don't think you do, although I've never played custom games. Also isn't there a queue for all game modes? Unless you refer to something else besides the match making queue.

Well in custom games, there is no queue, you just make a room and people can come in or you can make it private and once you have enough people you start it up. There is no matchmaking.

I think you still receive IP as long as you meet certain conditions: minimum number of human players (how many idk), equal number of human players on each team. It might have changed though i'm not sure.

Meh it doesn't sound like it would get many peeps compared it being an official game like ARAM and Summoner. The issue with ARAM is because you don't get to pick the teams are some times unbalanced, and i see no purpose to that. If people pick - its more balanced and we get to try new champs in a less serious competitive way compared to SR.

It wouldn't. People don't join custom games ever since ARAM went live (even though there were a lot of ABAM games running before that).

Proving Grounds were the glory days of Blind Pick. It's just not worth dealing with custom game nonsense (lopsided teams, leavers, huge wait time to start games) when you can use the matchmade queue... even if it is ALLSONAJANNAJAYCEALLMID-oh sorry, I meant ARAM.

Just use customs. And yes it does give IP although not as much as a normal game. Still, it does let you try out the champion you want and you don't have to be that serious about who wins or anything like that.

I would absolutely love a non-random HA queue! Seems like a no-brainer right?
