Could ARAM have champion specific changes like Dominion?

Since nobody plays Dominion at the moment (Riot I hope you work on Crystal Scar after you finish your current work on Twisted Treeline), I'll explain what I'm talking about. On Dominion, there is a list visible on this very section of boards (I think) that tells of a list of champion and item changes just for that mode, probably for balance purposes. I think that something similar should be done with ARAM. It would increase the viability of even more champions after Mark/Dash was introduced as they won't die instantly from poke. Currently, there are a nice chunk of champions that should have something done to them, as currently you win with poke and not with skill or teamwork or anything of the sort. Anyway, it's not as if this would affect competitive play so you wouldn't have to regard solely to that to do these changes as competitive players don't really play ARAM. In my opinion, the strongest champs in ARAM are: Ahri Anivia Azir Blitzcrank Ezreal Jayce Heimerdinger Karma Karthus Lux Morgana Nidalee Sona Soraka Syndra Yorick Ziggs

While obviously that is my opinion and not ALL of them have poke, it would be nice to see some of them nerfed for ARAM, especially Karma,Lux, and Morgana due to how much damage they put out on such a low cooldown at such a high range that makes it so unfair to play against.

ARAM Bronze League™ detected.

ARAM Bronze League™ confirmed.

ARAM-specific changes? Yeah, maybe. But the problem ain't ARAM needing mode-specific balancing -- it's the bottom rung of the MMR insisting that the problem (with their win ratios) is anything/anyone but themselves.

(That'd be you, OP...)

Predictable responses from the ARAM Bronze League™: "OMG JEDDITE SO TROLL WTF WTF WTF"

( ...and you, too. )

It doesn't need champion changes.

It needs itemization changes.

And the removal of that horrible snowball till they fix it.

Yes. Sona. SONA all day long. The reason being the narrow lane of the map means she can basically constantly buff her team and attack without even aiming.
