As most of you know there is a huge problem with people joining an ARAM custom and quitting when they don't get a champion they want. This defeats the entire purpose of ARAM. The secondary problem is with people who would join an ARAM and then not play. The bottom line is there needs to be a punishment for leaving an aram or going AFK in game. Althought I have went through multiple solutions the best one is to simply put ARAM customs into the scaling leaver wait time. As of right now if you don't get the champion you want then you simply leave and join another ARAM until you are happy with your chapion. If there is a punishment people will not leave, then you simply have to ensure that players will actually play in the ARAM. This can be done simply by posting that feedback on custom games will be taken seriously. Even better would be a post at a later date showing how many players were banned for being morons in ARAM.

I think we can all agree with most of you the points you have raised. We have already offered many solutions/feedback to Riot, but unfortunately, we are at the point where we need to wait for them to actually implement these ideas.

Trouble is, no one really knows when that will be. Riot has not been all that forthcoming about it either.

All our problems would be solved if they made it an actual pvp game type.

I'd watch tournament ARAMs.... come on riot who wouldn't love that ****?

As simple as that. But riot doesnt seem to worry about aram players...

So they implement ARAM pvp and now you get to play as any champion without having to spend the IP or you have limited champions with smurfs made specifically for ARAM.

Sounds more like an issue to resolve then them simply not caring.

Wait... What??? You still can't play with a champion you do not own.

If they added ARAM to pvp right now people would create smurfs specifically for ARAM with only the best ARAM champs. Imagine going against premades like that, it would destroy any competition.

A solution would be to enable all champions in ARAM for everyone, but then people might play ARAM just to use champions they do not own.

While I see your point in this it still wont matter. There is always going to be an eve and udyr free week. All I really want is a completely random queue with the same free 10 champs a week plus whatever you own. The only possible feature I would like different is no trading. Its random, play who you get (not completely opposed to trading either but I mean c'mon its aram for a reason). Once we have queues and elo we can balance/change from there but as it is I just want leaver free games.

riot could simply increase the number of free champions per week or limit the number of champions you need to be able to join ARAM matchmaking...
