Riot please, do not remove DFG from the Howling Abyss

Title says it all, but here's my reasoning.

First of all (and this is probably the most important), ARAM is a mode where alternate builds thrive, oftentimes out of necessity, and the nature of DFG makes it almost core to certain alternate builds. Its removal will only hurt champions who are already barely viable and rely on DFG active to supplement their damage (like Shaco ).

Second, it's no secret that ARAM is absolutely dominated by champions with strong disengage and powerful defensive abilities. DFG is one of the only even remotely viable ways to punch through the nearly omnipresent Janna/Karma/Lulu/Orianna/Soraka heals/shields, and its removal will just make these types of champions even more overbearing and dominant.

Third, almost none of the top tier mages really like to build DFG, as they are primarily poke champions. Removing DFG won't hurt them much, if at all, but it will most certainly hurt the champions who already have problems dealing with them.

In short, while DFG may be an issue in Summoner's Rift, in ARAM it's one of the best options for dealing with oppressive poke/disengage champions, and its removal will only widen the gap between 'god-tier' champions and the rest of them.

P.S. Please add Sword of the Divine back to ARAM, I want to have fun with Twitch and Malphite again.
