These stupid snowballs... Ruined ARAM. ARAM was a player made idea for All Random All Mid, nothing more nothing less. now you add some BS snowballs with 20 cooldown? This is the first time i have been upset about an update. ARAM is the mode i play when i want a short fun game.
I hope this gets taken out, it is awful.. I mean scaling true damage too? come on.
Smushey9 votesCompletely ruined aram. Some people like it? Fine, make ARAM CLASSIC and ARAM SNOWBALL available please.
Mikal Pikal7 votesEssentially the only people against this are ARAM-exclusive players because they have ARAM-only accounts with all range poke. You used to be able to roll the unfortunate melee champs without a challenge. Now you have to buy an actual variety of champs.
No doubt the damage and cooldown of snowballs with be decreased/increased. This is obvious.

I have every champion. I find it better to lose with a melee comp without poke, than to lose against assassins flying at your face every 20 seconds.
Mikal Pikal2 votesI agree that the cooldown is way too short as it is...but I guarantee that will be fixed and tuned. I mean, I think the cooldown should be more like 60 seconds than 20 seconds, but at least this gives a chance to non-poke champs.

This. A thousand times this. I can't figure out why some people don't like it, but when you realize they probably have special aram accounts it explains it. The snowball makes ARAM sooo much better.

No, no, NO. Plenty of legitimate players with all (or almost all) the champions unlocked hate this change. It's a big generalization that only the "ARAM only" account players dislike it. It's a freaking stupid change, period.
Mikal Pikal1 votesLike I said, once they tweak to give it a shorter range and longer cooldown it will be more reasonable. If it had a one minute cooldown it would be much better. I agree that it is stupid AS IS but it is easily changed.
Nutorious BIG6 votesSnowballs are the most retarded thing, and pretty much ruined aram.
Anyone who downvotes this is pretty much a bronze (most of the community so whatever).
All I've been seeing is bronzes/silvers spamming snowballs and thinking they're prozors.
Dr Poro2 votesI always wanted to be bronze 
Dr Poro6 votesCry me a river. This is the best thing that happened to aram. As a previous aram player (and will return to be), it got pretty boring to see the same ranged poke champions over and over (because once you get a certain amount of aram games/winrate, you usually see people with only good aram champs and they use rerolls for when they get a free week champ that is bad). They were so superior to melee champs that when people had multiple melee champs (without good gapclosers) in their team they just dodged resulting in even more boring poke champs.
Legends of the poro king was the best funmode IMO because it made ARAM more balanced. I'm happy that we now have a more balanced ARAM permanently. Yes, there are still God tier picks, but not as many and not an as overwhelming difference between the good and the bad champs as before.
9baksQuJhb6 votesOh, I'm sorry, does the precious poke comp you randomly got now have counterplay? How horrible for melee champs to have a chance.
inb4 Saltines, I'm munchin on em right now.
Astrox34 votesI love the addition and think the range is fine too, only thing I'd change is the cooldown. I think it could be a bit longer.
spacesloth4 votesLove it. Great spell, range, CD everything. Great adaption to a game that was otherwise many times frustrating to play as certain characters. Very good update imo.
ManlyTeemo4 votesTriple the CD, leave it in.
GrungyDesires3 votesI think if they kept mark but gave it about 1/5th the range it has now would be solid.
FDru8 votesI think if they kept mark but gave it about 1/5th the range it has now would be solid.
Yeah if they made it useless that would be perfectly fine.
lol gtfo
Nutorious BIG3 votesThey pretty much would be balanced since bruiser teams without snowballs are better late game, you gtfo scrub lmao
Dr Poro2 votesThere was no lategame if you had a bruiser team before. (Unless you play on low ELO)
Franco Sanchez3 votesYeah, because it's unreasonable to give melee champs some kind of an answer to ridiculous amounts of poke damage, in a gamemode that favors heavy siege. Give your head a shake dude.
ZerglingOne3 votesNeeds a 60 second cooldown because currently it's the only viable option and tanky bruisers with PBAoE are currently ruling the game mode.
Otherwise I like it.
Articuz3 votesI am against this change. It made the game a lot more stressful to be dodging everything or even to use it every time it comes up. A lot better than Ignite. It's a fun ability in Poro mode - but it is really bad in ARAM mode.
Naramiel2 votesI like it, but agree that the CD could be a little higher and the range a little lower.
Hirengurth2 votesAs someone that owns all the champs I like the idea of the spell... But, there are some big issues. Range needs reduced on both the projectile and dash 10-15% reduction would likely do the trick. The cd would be reasonable at 80-120 sec. its just too abuseable as is. Mobility is powerful and that much of it makes me question how it was allowed past QA in its current state...
Its fun and offers champs some hope of having an interesting game but... well you get the point. Tuning is required.
As for aram only account, yes they exist they annoy me. I would like to see a aram queue for those who have ~90% of champs unlocked. Though this is unlikely as riot generally takes a stance on keeping mode restrictions to the minimum and the number of accounts that have that many champs unlocked are in the minority i am quite sure.
Nutorious BIG1 votesLiterally got a pentakill 3rd aram game with a melee with these snowballs...
