So why do we tolerate similar ARAM winrates every day? Everyone knows this mode isn't random, but honestly. A group of like ~15 champs just completely annihilate this mode to the point where you might as well AFK if the enemy team gets two or more of those champs on a team. Map specific nerfs have been used in the past. Why not tone down Janna's stupid tornadoes? Or Sona's heals? Or Ziggs bombs?

If you continue to refuse to make the mode random, at least remove the illusion completely by not allowing more than one of these S-tier cancers on the same team.

Janna is bad in ARAM.

Outside of copying SMITE in making sure both teams have the same number of healers, no. What it needs is counters to smurfs and dodgers. WIth them out of the way, the randomness would be balanced by scale. Sure a single match may be a stomp one way or the other, but it's likely to happen equal times both ways over your career. It balances out to where your ability to overcome a champion advantage for the enemy team (and how big of one you can) is the most important factor in your winrate.

Things are evening out a bit now. Yes, there are still trash champs (aka ADCs that can only autoattack and not poke), but with all the new bruiser items (ESPECIALLY new warmogs), a lot more champs can at least have a chance. If you're an AP champ, you can go AP bruiser (RoA -> warmogs), if you're a melee, you can go aegis->warmogs, and if you're one of the previously god tier champs, just do as you did before.

Agreed. ARAM is supposed to be fun, but there is literally nothing more anti-fun than seeing these shits Lux Ziggs Nidalee Velkoz Veigar Xerath nonstop nuking you from the safety of their team's backline.

And make it 10x worse if you ended up rolling a jungler like Udyr LeeSin XinZhao Skarner

You realize the heal is far from Sona's biggest problem, and that it's already toned down due to map-wide heal debuff aura, right?

Also, team with tanks generally beats team without past about 17-18 minutes now, especially with new Mog's in the game.
