Dear Rioters, ARAM players need your help!

I know ARAM is fun mode, made by fans/players. I've participated in custom SR ARAM when rules were yet to crystalize. Back then we had problems with dodgers, but also means to minimalize pool of dodging players.

Once ARAM finally made it into HA, we have been stripped from any tools reducing number of "unneded" beings called by mistake "players" (trolls, dodgers, toxic players, flamers and such). You have even disabled function to inform us the name of player who dodged the game...

We can report players, but that doesn't change the fact that we still had to cope with troll/afker xth time in a row. Also report system feels bad, as we don't know if player who has ruined our game will ever get punished. I won't even mention how inbalanced ARAM is with tens of thousands of smurfs, or lack of proper balancing gamemode mechanics. That's not the point of this topic.

Every society needs a set of strict rules. If so happens rules are soft or nonextistent, then society crumbles. Currently ARAM dedicated players have extremly hard time cause soft, almost nonexistent rules had lured wave of trolls into ARAM world.

That is why, I beg of you, don't cast us into oblivion! Help us! We know, we are minority in LOL society, but changes i'm asking for won't affect playing experience for other maps. Please, increase punishment for abusing soft game rules (like dodging/afking/trolling). Add system preventing smurfs abusing ARAM. That's all i am asking.

If you, Rioters, somehow don't know how to implement those changes, then ask us, players.

Sincerely, tired and frustraded ARAM player.

Riot doesn't give a tiny speck of a shit about ARAM and here's proof if you need it.

pulls up top win rates over the last month Sona Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke Poke

HA got Winter's Orb to supposedly help with this while totally ignoring the absolutely ridiculous AD champions that dominate the map like Ashe, Varus, Sivir, Jayce and now Jinx.

If Riot ever cared about ARAM they certainly didn't care enough to even figure out what the actual problems with it were.

Disable Sona for ARAMs. It is now balanced

If Riot actually cared about ARAM surrendering wouldn't still be at the 15 minutes mark.

If the game is completely imbalanced or you have 2 afks, there is no reason to try and wait for 15 min to be able to surrender.
