ARAM

I wish so bad you guy would put just a little time into making ARAM a viable game mode. I say this because I hear at least once every game from someone either on my team or on the opposing team I hear," It is just ARAM it doesn't count". Now from someone who considers themselves an ARAM player(100,000td,1500tw,1800w) This comment drives me nuts I mean if it doesn't count to you don't make me suffer a loss go back to Summoner's and.... well I will refrain from using that kind of language ,but I think you get my drift. I mean how hard would it be to allow the player to choose what stats he or she displays, because as of now all anyone sees unless they go to my profile is normal stats. I would like people to see my ARAM stats and I'd be willing to bet there are a few Dominion players that would agree as well. I Know SR is your bread and butter but not all of us play league for a ranked game on Summoners Rift. How about creating a solo rank in ARAM that takes in to account your K/D/A and average game win loss to add or subtract said number of points thus creating a ranking system. Who knows maybe with a prize for the top 10 to say 100? Just a last thought there. Anyway please consider this I would greatly appreciate it.

I totally agree and am amazed at how many people forget aram has its own tactics separate from sr. Like aram gives you the option to hug turret and not fall behind at start if your comp is weaker at the start. People seem to think thats not a strat and the comp thats strongest to start is just the strongest period.

I too am an aram player who would love a system which matched me against a player like you instead of a random assortment of all skill levels.

ARAM for life. They could delete SR and it wouldn't really bother me.

I love ARAM, I play it more than the normal game mode. Its more adrenaline filled, yet somehow more laid back (I find myself joking with my team and opponents more so than in Summoner's Rift).

i agree with you totaly some champ are just ridiculous to play.. and Side note : lux beam on aram is the worst i dont know why her range indicator is way to large for the beam wide ... and i very very hate the camera position on purple side ( top side ) when you go down my perception of the map is soo wierd.. and the hole close the health pack close to out tower is juste useless ( right side close tower , there having like a hole and you get the space for like 2 champ.. ) ( the map is a bite too long but not enough wide..

the main reason i started playing more aram ( im now at 630+ win ) it because player sometime in some game dont try to rush in the ennemy and feed after 2-3 attempt .. BUT from now last 3-4-5 month .. many player just seen the aram like a place to feed ... Riot need to add something in aram ( like and objective or a power potion give your ally X stats or Buff for like 45 sec ( in exemple it could be 30-25-20..) to maintain the game and not only run forward , spell , run die...

how much time i have started vs poke team comp we got rek after 4-5 min... ( yes some champ need OBV a nerf on aram cause they go in one way all game advantage and that suck ( yes that suck being over power at start ) but sometime we come back because we did the good focus and the good ingage in the good moment...

i wish and pray riot could see it by the themselv but... wish you good luck :)

There's a few things they could do to help bring ARAM closer to balanced.

  1. Everyone has all the champions unlocked. No more ARAM-only accounts that have just the stronger ARAM champions unlocked.

  2. HP itemization needs to be fixed. Right now, the item that grants the most raw HP by far is a item 3022. Chances are, if you're playing as a champion that scales off of HP, you don't want to rush one of those. I don't see why item 3083 couldn't be modified for the game mode instead of just being banned from it.

  3. item 2051 isn't a bad item, but since it doesn't build into anything and is pretty expensive, you might as well grab item 1054 item 1001 item 1033 instead and have most of those build into something (as well as not having to manage an active). Maybe have it build into a item 3800?

  4. summoner 31 made a great many lower tier ARAM champs a lot more fun to play as. Slightly modified, it could be a permanent ARAM-only summoner spell.

The only strategy that seems to work for ARAM is to log into it with an account that only has Lux, Ziggs, Teemo, Vel'koz and Nidalee unlocked.

It doesn't count because certain champs are insanely overpowered in ARAM, so it was never a fair fight to begin with.

Not diss'n ARAM, I do like playing it a few times before I play any other gamemode, but to be literal, ARAM doesn't matter. It's more practice with champs you may have not played or to try new builds, or for some, just to troll and not play seriously. I posted a while ago about my wins being about 200 off, since I have about 200 wins in aram, and my total was like 970. When I counted all my wins together, SR, DOM, and ARAM it was about 1100 or something like that. ARAM doesn't count towards your actual total wins, so that maybe the reason why people don't take it as serious.

Just my two cents.

One, here's a trampoline, for jumping to conclusions. Two, I was talking about people who don't care for it, and it seems you just picked things out and replied to it, instead of the comment as a whole. Like I said, since it doesn't count towards your "actual total wins" , That is probably why people don't take it seriously, or just troll the game. So yea, it has and ELO and ARAM builds. So does every other mode. But it isn't taken as seriously as the big SR stuff. Your example cannot be used in this situation because, you are forced to pay taxes, if not, then actions are taken against you. Since ARAM doesn't have repercussions as serious, then people don't care, or just don't see the game mode as serious. I'm sure if there wasn't super bad repercussions for not paying your taxes, people wouldn't take as serious either. Don't tell me no, that does nothing, what are you even No-ing me for. I gave you my opinion on why people might not take this seriously, or troll.
