What oddballs do surprisingly well in ARAM?

Beerstein·Mar 25, 2015·1 votes·1,164 views

So far I've run into a few oddballs that did WAY better than I expected in ARAM.

These are ones that don't just do well but do exceptional.

One is Jax, he can so easily get in and out, hit hard while doing it, and focus out squishy poke type champions. I didn't expect someone like him to be so powerful in ARAM.

The other I recently took a liking to is HP regen Braum. I run heavy defensive masteries and rush out orb of winter (I buy the 4 parts out the gate) then buy merc treads+banshees+spirit visage (haven't had to build armor yet, no crazy ad teams). With the regen and shields he's able to constantly get in the enemies faces, when his HP gets down super low it doesn't even take him more than a minion wave to recover his ability to get in the enemy faces. His stun passive is also absolutely ace with a good team.

I've played almost 2000 arams and I love getting cho'gath, shaco, and shen as far as it goes with oddball champs in aram.

Clearly a virgin

I tried to like shaco in arams but just don't. Cho is pretty amazing though.

a lot of people make the mistake of playing him ap which takes a lot of fun out of it.

or maybe it's just 'cause I like to play shaco in general.

Taric is one of my favorite aram champions. I'm not even sure why. I just seem to always win with him. I suppose his ult is pretty powerful, and available often.

Galio is amazing in aram.

Velkoz is ridiculously strong. I miss the old heim rockets in ARAM.

Heimerdinger Everyone else good I would have figured would be good. For some reason it's just him that was really unintuitive to me that he'd be good.

I always seem to do well with Wukong. As long as you kill at least one person when you go in, it doesn't matter if you die because you'll eventually just start blowing people up.

This. The fact that people actually reroll this guy just boggles my mind! He's insane! You don't even have to have a huge understanding of the Champ, he's got it all!

E + Q harass, W out if needed. Ult that shreds their entire team, if your team needs a tank, snag a brutalizer and that's all you need to shred their entire team with your ult. First time I ever played Wukong in aram (2nd time ever I think?) I went some ridiculous score of like 19-low death- high assist.

This isn't me boasting, I promise, I'm just trying to get the word out how good he is in ARAM, because the less wukong rerolls I see on my team, the better xD

Some more popular than others but I like these (and the typical meta poke-adc-ap/mid champs) or maybe I'm just picking top lanes because they're who I have the most fun with?

I kinda just play ARAM + Dominion now, I love them both.

My dominion MMR is getting too high though so my queues are around 5-10mins :/
