I don't know man everytime I go to the gym here there are like two huge dudes with raging high and tights snorting Nitro-tech off of each other's rock hard abs.
They should do the math behind the curtain and make your odds of getting a high win rate champion less likely, and getting multiple per team is even less likely

No bans necessary

Roll a completely random champ for player 1, on blue team. Roll a random champ with a similar-ish winrate for player 1 on the red team. Repeat 5 times.

I've won and lost a lot of games on these so called OP ARAM champs, as many times as I've stomped games against the OP champs with no ADCs and medicore champions. It's ARAM, it's a fun mode. If you're getting mad about Lux and Veigar being in your games then why are you playing ARAM who cares

This is even sillier. This topic of conversation started because removing bans was a stupid revert to a good QOL improvement they put in.

Getting weirdly indignant about the purity of game modes is par for the course for this thread though.

because ARAM is about fun, and playing against people with enough CC and Poke that they never have to engage/get engaged upon isn't fun. Their stated reason for doing so also validates ARAM only accounts, which is against the "fun" of the mode because those people aren't truly playing random champs.

As for blah blah I've won/lost against/with op champs x amount of blah blah blah is bullshit.

Ziggs and Sona have over 70% win rates according to to RIOT. Lux is over 66%. If you aren't going to remove them from the game, then they need ARAM specific nerfs - the "poke" nerf is fine for most poke champs, but barely touches them. We will likely see bans back, I think that Ziggs, Sona, Lux, maybe Veigar were banned close to 100% of the time so they may be wanting to see how out of whack they still are post nerfs (I don't think Sona is going to get hurt at all TBH) so they can adjust accordingly before eventually giving up and just bringing back bans and accepting that 3 of those 4 will be banned in every game.

if roughly 20% of those bad decisions are yours you probably deserve to be losing a lot of those games. sorry

Oh, I definitely am not making the best of calls all the time. But, I try to focus objectives when I can, so that my team doesn't come to a standstill of just constant fighting/losing said fights. One thing I struggle with decision making wise is about mid game when each side has a few turrets down, and trying to keep up on the farm. Should I just take the jungle farm when I can in soloq and not worry about what the jungler needs? That, and just waiting for the lanes to push if you're too worried about going into an unwarded jungle?

In short, I struggle with pulling a victory when I fall behind.

let me propose something to the people who think aram should be purely random - imagine if they made an aram exclusive champion called "lockwarden" whos passive prevents the enemy team from leaving the fountain, and everyone who played aram got "lockwarden" added to their pool of champions. do you think this is fair? after all, it is totally random. better luck next time? or perhaps there may be balance concerns even in a purely random mode that should be addressed to make a better game for everyone.

yea, this would be a good addition to every single map type on league of legends actually

you should make sure your team gets as much safe farm as possible. if nobody is around to get jungle farm and you dont have any vision on jungle entrances take it before you lose it. also you should never go into an unwarded anywhere

There's probably less than 10 champions on ARAM I would hate to play. Nocturne, Elise, Evenlynn, Renekton, Kindred, and Riven spring to mind because they're all champions reliant on the meta, a jungle, or a 1v1. Anyone else I can make work somehow, even if I lose at least I'm learning a champion I don't normally play. But I'm still sure I've won and carried games on all those champions because I don't just give up as soon as the loading screen starts. I think it's kinda fun trying to outplay broken champions on ARAM with middle road champions, it's a for-fun mode

Renekton and Riven actually don't feel too bad in ARAM if you don't run into some Teemo/Veigar hell comp because with snowball allowing you to get it in on people it turns out that Conqueror's healing is kind of busted on the bunch up and teamfight map for champs that can proc it instantly and then poo poo out AOE damage.

The highest win rate champion after the nerfs is Sona at 58%.Teemo and Ziggs at 57%, Lux at 56%. It isn't that bad any more. And since they have the nerf lever now, likely they'll nerf them a bit more at some point.

Yeah, I can think of relatively few champions that are totally useless in ARAM. For me the bigger issue is rolling a champion that I despise playing. There are champions that I don't care how good they are I just don't ever want to play them.

The rule of thumb that I go by is once lane phase ends all camps are fair game but the jungler has the right of way if we're both right by it. Of course however when they spam-ping me off chickens 33 minutes into the game as they're respawning all bets immediately become off

Vi is pretty good and everyone underestimates her mid game burst which is hilarious. Camille still works but is harder since she can't stun camps any more.

The only tweak ARAM needs in the champion select phase is giant fuckoff queue cooldowns after dodging.

Everyone disagrees on what’s fun and what’s not during the game but I’ll bet no one would say “my favorite part of ARAM is waiting for the queue to pop and sitting through champ select”

I liked ARAM exactly as it was before this latest rework and would prefer it rolled back and then not changed in any way. Giving champions different damage modifiers (and at different ranges) just means that people's feel for damage vs defenses will be all messed up.

Are you too depressed to finish biting through that piece of toast?
Bring champ bans back to an aram gimmick, and if both teams ban someone then that champ (lux or whoever) gets randomly assigned to someone on both sides, no rerolls. Daily assessment of lowest winrate champs and create a pool of the worst 10-15 to randomly pick from and that's who the rest of the team gets to be. Just make a whole gimmick mode of aram hell if they're gonna keep doing gimmick games. I really liked arurf.

Idk I only started playing recently with a few tilt proof stoners who mainline aram and it has been pretty fun. Not a representation of, you know, actual league play I guess but it's entertaining.

playing with tilt free guys is the best, and why i strive to be positive in every single game. aram is fine, but i do not understand how people play it day in day out... moreover i believe aram only accounts should be permabanned or aram expanded to all champions to delete the aram only accounts implicitly. manipulating rng in a fun casual game mode to win as many games as possible is reprehensible

Idk if I would play this daily either.

Is this a thing people do? Intentionally buying/avoiding certain champs for rng manipulations? The people I play with literally have all the mans and despite their aram mainlining they definitely played regular league in the past. Dunno why they switched over.
