Goodbye Aram.

I was really hoping Riot would listen to its community on this mark spell being added to aram. Every poll i have seen people want it removed, every thread that is started on the spell ends up getting upvoted more than downvoted. Here is the issue. Aram is full of people who use the spell badly. It creates engage which wasnt needed "guardians horn, righteous glory, talisman of ascension" It ruins any actual practice you could have sieging towers with different team comps. It literally turns ARAM into a gimmick game mode.

I have played almost solely aram for about a year or so now since the level of toxic players on SR is much much higher. But since aram is now a gimmick mode offering no valuable experience for players wanting to increase their team fight abilities. I just have to wave goodbye to it. You killed Aram riot. It might still get played now and then by people looking for a spam your skill mode, but it will never be the same again with that mark spell in it. Its fine for people who dont take Aram as a serious game mode where skills can be learned and transfered to SR. But as a gimmick game mode I will not waste time playing it anymore. Even dominion now is better.

"Waves goodbye" goodbye aram, you were taken from us too soon.

Do you know why there are far more mark-dash haters than those who like this spell?

Cause if you like it, why would you come to forum and comment/create topics about it.

I've stopped playing LoL week before this update (due to toxic players) so i can't really comment if it's better/worse. But come on. One "new" spell and you are already whining on you knees?

Btw you throw gimmick word like machine gun. That's gimmick move.

honestly, the only problem i have with the snowball is the damage, i don't think it should really do damage at all and just the mark/dash effect. I dont know about everyone else here, but the snowball has made aram so much more fun for me and i honestly have no idea why people want to to be REMOVED from the game

Yeah, the reason I wasn't really hyped for Mark/Dash and why I think it wasn't necessarily a good addition to ARAM was that it makes it too much of a featured game mode (which are silly and break the game away from any of the established game modes). The fact that they took the spell from a featured game mode should've been strong enough reason to step back and look twice at the idea.

I like legend of the poro king, because it was fun and kind of goofy, and created gameplay different from any of the permanent gamemodes, with the throwing and dodging snowballs all day, and the powerful sieging force suddenly there.

But I never really wanted that kind of gameplay in my regular ARAM.

Buff ghost if you want more initiation in the mode, or create a new summoner spell which gives you the empowerment you need to dive into the enemy team.

But I never really got any of their reasoning for taking a featured game mode and making half of it permanent.
