"Mark" in Aram?

droolcup··14 votes·901 views

Why was mark added to Aram? I saw it was out in the Poro King, but why bring it to Aram? What's the point in throwing a snowball senselessly down mid lane? To speed the game up? And if so wasn't aram quick enough already..? Why not just completely bring back the Poro King? I used to come on to play Aram because it was all my (sad to say it) shit computer could handle but now it's just.. not fun.

Not sure why you think range poked dominated, maybe early game but all you had to do is be patient and farm up enough to tank up a bit. The game was fine the way it was, now it's total crap. The snow balls and made the game very 1 dimensional and by far the most boring type of game that Riot has introduced in about 3 years.

It's definitely less fun imo. The reason is that games are far more 1-sided now. The losing team can't try and farm until the opportunity for a comeback happens because Mark helps the winning team win more. Kill 2 enemies? Now you can easily tower dive the surviving ones. The cooldown on mark is shorter than some champions' non-ultimate abilities. With Mark in the game, there are even more "lost at champion select" or "afk till surrender" type matches.

Snow balls ruined this mode. The devs are incompetent.

Who approved a true damage Lee Q on a 20 second cooldown that every champion can get?

Incompetence.

I think the nerfs coming in this patch will help. There was nothing worse than a Diana or Sejuani that could snowball past your tanks from offscreen hit a squishy and kill the whole backline. Diana was even worse, she didn't even need to hit a q.

Some aspects of the snowball are fun, but it also makes it so there is no respect for champs and their general roles at all, meaning that your tanks can't protect you, and you can't really get away if you go in for a fight.

I'm torn, personally... I see what they're trying to do, but I agree that it doesn't really help balance, at least not the way it works now. Maybe they'll revoke it...? I dunno.
