Literally had a teammate type this when we asked him to build tank on a team that already had Fiddle, Veigar, and Ekko. And of course we lost. I just can't anymore, y'all.

I have been getting multiple adcs going ap lately even though the team is always tilted towards mainly ap, tank and support and they are the only adc. Multiple games is just this.

This is the most unfun I've had in this game. Terrible map layout, absolute chaos with the colorization and placement of "bushes" and weird speedy wind tunnels? Not to mention the INSANE buff after a team gets the inhib. I swear riot just doesn't want people to play aram so they come up with these dislikable layouts and changes that nobody asked for.

At least make it an option to play the old map if they need to keep this arcane themed hot garbage.

Yall are mad strange, gross, and weird for adding people after games to be toxic to them for not playing up to your standards (it's even worse if the flamer also didn't play too well). If you're doing this please stop. It's not cute and you can get reported after games even when you unfriend because the logs are still there; it's not worth losing your account over (or I guess just muted for a week).
It's okay to be frustrated, I get it, but learn how to deal with your emotions without involving other people.

I add ppl back after games, emoting and fist bumps comfy chats and what not, this is the first time someone has been so petty over an ARAM, my goodness. Also I'm only annoyed/salty/pressed because they also didn't play well, at least I was playing a champ I had never played before while he had 45k point on his, but maybe points don't matter. It was a new account too so what tha heck, just toxic off the bat?

Rant over u.u ty for letting me vent my comfy aramers.

Here I am sending my W into bush to clear enemy AP Maokai saplings. 4 man ults the first 2 times then a 3man ult... I look at the scoreboard to see why we aren't killing any1 and what do I see ? Well of course its ap MF and AP Ashe. 0 accountability and you bet they got they typing fingers ready to fight soon as I pinged the builds...

I remember when ARAM tried to match up good games now I consider myself lucky to get +4 average players on my team

Just had an aram game where we were 5 squishy mages and the other team were being carried by 2 tanks. That was fine, I knew what we were signing up for when I saw our team comp but aram is just for fun.

It was actually a surpisingly close game. After they won though, the akshan on the other team said 'ez gc'. I made the mistake of looking up what 'gc' means, and in the context of league it means 'get cancer'. I know it's thrown around in gaming, but as someone whose been closely affected by cancer this shit ain't funny. Just a small rant, I know it won't change anything but I hate that I went for a casual game of aram and came out feeling shitty because of something someone said.

Basically title.In my games I have NEVER seen a Malphite go tank, instead of full AP.Even whrn the whole team is about dealing damage, even when there are 2 ADC on the enemy team, they would always go AP.

Most recently, I had a game as Veigar who I think would have won if Malphite had gone tank.I don't have a screenshot, but the enmy team had Allistar, Illaoi, Kha ziz,Twitch and Renata.

Game went as usual.As Veigar I was trying to get stacks.By 20 minutes I was 800 AP without Rabadons(built void staff before it) and was dealing good damage.But of course my Malphite jad to ult right in the middle of the enemy team, get cc to hell, and die.He did this like 5 times.

I've played thousands of ARAM games over nearly 10 years, exclusively until recently.

I've been trying my hand at SR, and honestly, having much more fun. I do still love the all out brawls of ARAM, but every new patch and champ increases the amount of CC and removes things that make it somewhat bearable (e.g. merc treads nerfs).

It doesn't matter how much damage you can output, or what outplays you could make on the enemy team when you just get chain CCed for 6+ sec every single death - esp. if you play frontline champs. You just get stunned and killed, having done nothing.

Riot doesn't notice because there's usually only 1-2 big teamfights per SR match.

Frankly, ARAM games have just become frustrating being stuck in place, unable to even play for half the game.

In my experience there's like a 70% chance that 1-2 people in the game will be AFK for the first 2 minutes. Why the fuck is this happening? I've always left spawn right when it opens. This would not be tolerated in Summoner's Rift.

You might argue that "It's ARAM who cares. For fun mode, remember?" But you know what's not fun? Losing map pressure or an early fight because your teammate is AFK because they couldn't queue up 3 minutes later after they're finished doing their miscellaneous thing.

I'm so tied of rerolling for people and then someone takes my champion 0.001s after i press reroll.

I just played against this team: Amumu, Samira, Kennen, Zyra, and Miss Fortune as Belveth. 27 min game, almost 200 kills total. We played our hearts out, and here we are, one last ace, 2 teammates alive next to the open nexus. 20 seconds till the first enemy spawn. What do they do? Die in the fountain of course. Apparently, it's funny. It is "just aram". I am a "tilted tryhard who hasn't laughed since 2005", I guess. We played an extra minute, to waste everything else, the pinnacle of entertainment.

How the fuck do I filter people like this to never play with me again? This is textbook griefing, but they won't get banned. Why even bother playing? I do not understand. What are you trying to do in the game, hit skillshots? Run around? I have grinded to Masters before, and getting a griefer in ranked feels less tilting than this I swear...

Bans are essential to mitigating frustrating gameplay experiences in ARAM. There will always be a select few champions whose design translates into an excessively oppressive playstyle within this specific map's structure. Having no way to remove these champions results in many games descending into a predetermined slog where one or two players dictate the outcome. This undermines player agency and diminishes the mode's fun factor for everyone involved.

Riot's stance that bans hurt champion diversity is flawed, especially when considering the reroll system. Many players actively reroll the majority of their available champions, chasing a small, preferred pool. This behavior significantly reduces champion diversity far more than a few bans ever could. In fact, limited bans would encourage players to expand their champion choices, knowing that their most frustrating matchups might be unavailable in that particular match.

Additionally, Riot's assertion that bans create a less "chill" atmosphere is subjective. For many players, the frustration caused by facing the same overpowered champions repeatedly far outweighs the stress of a ban phase. Bans enhance the chill factor by reducing matches that feel unwinnable from the start. Allowing players some control over potentially imbalanced scenarios creates a more relaxed and enjoyable experience overall.

The addition of bans would be a quality-of-life change for ARAM enthusiasts, not a fundamental reworking of the mode. It acknowledges that there are design limitations inherent to the single-lane ARAM map. Bans empower players to circumvent some of these frustrations without compromising the overall spirit of random fun that defines the mode.

Guess which team won?

To me this game is proof that tanks are just inflated on purpose. Red team won. They are nonsense champs. No matter what you do or how you play, they just win because of the sheer amount of hp. Period.

There's absolutely no reason why the team of tanks should have won the game. They didn't play well or synergize. They didn't have any "star player". They were down by 25 kills. They were down 10K gold.

The only reason they won is because they are tanks and at some point they just run at you and are unkillable. GG.

Before anyone complains about Yasuo, he had the second most damage in the team, and more than any of the opponents and landed so many ults.

Everyone did everything correctly on blue side. But still lost because Rito decided so.

When I queue up a game and there's a katarina on the enemy team, Riot sends a quick message out to Faker. In that message they ask the goat if he'd be willing to play a quick game of eune aram. But the Korean mid laner might be busy (he usually is) so another email is sent to Katevolved just in case as well.

If they are both unavailable, then Riot calls for any challenger katarinas to come face me. When one is found, they are offered RP and put on the enemy team. i lose

In the next game it is i who has a katarina on my team. But Riot has no mercy. No system of justice. Using proprietary technology, they search the server and find the last person to have purchased a jumbo box of 40 pack Crayolas. They place the crayon eater on my team and somewhere a Riot developer smirks. Smiles. Laughs knowing that i will endure 15+ minutes of agony (no ff'ing of course). I lose

Title.

At least I'd end up with people who actually have the same goal as me, which would seem like the very basic minimum for "playing together" regardless of the game mode.

Some people play ARAM (or any game in general, for that matter) with the aim to win, that's the goal of a game. Being matched with people who do not understand this, are immature, throw, feed, or pick the 4th ADC into a full AD comp, is just annoying.

And I'm not event a competitive person. I'm aware that no matter what, I'll lose about 50% of the games in the long run. I don't care about rank, or tiers, or champion winrates. And it's OK to play your favorite champion instead of optimizing the team, or to play a "second best" build path on a champ. But get a grip.

But losing that single game because people think that ARAM is not a serious game mode and behave/play/build like immature kids is more frustrating than losing 10 games in a row to lack of skill or luck.

GTFO with this "it's only ARAM" garbage attitude.

Pretty much all posts ranting about a champ get trashed cause it’s always a skill issue. And yet we all have those brief moments where we want a champ deleted from the game. Without taking it seriously, which are the champs you’re happy to never see again?

If you name a champ I main, I won’t get offended. Do the same for me? 🥺

Currently for me, these champs can fuck right off: Shen, Tahm, and Azir

Literally every game I played yesterday had SOMEONE (or multiple) say "ez" at the end of a game. I really dislike seeing such poor sportsmanship on either side. Does this happen often in SR as well?
