Yeah. I was thinking you take two of the crystals from Anivias W, recolor them. Place them on the bridge as markers and have a recolored Karma W spirit bond between them. Then just add some ground based aoe particle between the two markers. "Oh hey what happens when I cross this line?" "Oh I get some debuff" "Oh my it reduces healing!"

(Can you tell I'm trying to reuse art assets to make the idea feasible )

Second, how does it hurt Riot to allow all champs to be available in all-random games? You can't play all-random in normal or ranked games. People would still have to buy the champs they want for these modes. You could argue that it could help them, actually. It gets people trying new champs, which could lead to them discovering one they like and end up buying.

Anyhow, the main point of my whole argument before is that you are basically asking for things that go against ARAM itself. If you don't like ARAM, don't play it. There are a lot of people who do like it, even with all the quirks and imbalances inherent to the mode.
No, I like a lot of aspects of ARAM, just not ones that are clearly broken. That's like if someone was getting Disgaea-level damage on a Final Fantasy game.

And do you honestly think it wouldn't get to the point where some people would make an account just for ARAM? More importantly, do you think they should make a game mode solely for level 30's? Sure, that's what you see from custom games nowadays, but how is that a healthy thing to cut out a lot of the community.

The problem is they *wouldn't* have to buy all the champions for *this* mode.

If people were only or mostly only after the ARAM gamestyle from League after a certain point, why would people bother to buy champions? Part of the fun of the game mode is in receiving people at random, but if a slew of champions were at their disposal without having to purchase them. It'd be like the effect of free champions for the week, only amplified immensely.

Got this error when I tried to create a Custom game, after having just played one.

Then, when I logged back in ... "You have disconnected from a game." (And the orange "reconnect" button.)

The idea i had was if this map was aimed to ARAB and ARAM players then the B recall button is not really needed. i was wondering for this game type if it could be disabled.? this also might deter the occasional player who enters the game and cheats by recalling. which normally leads to a report for breaking the games rules. As an active part of the tribunal i am not sure whether to ban these players as it is ARAB and ARAM rules and is not part of the summoners code and it is not an official game rule in league of legends. Lets make ARAM an ARAB a official game of league of legends. That way we can make it clear that this is a new game and we can enforce rule breakers in the tribunal

Upon playing a match against my boyfriend, we found that Lee Sin will freeze anytime he tries to use a move that transports him to an ally/enemy (Resonating Strike and Safeguard.)

Buff tenacity, and increase the healing debuffs % for all sustain and stun teams. If combo stuned and healed only.(go from 35% tencacity, to 40%, 50%, 75%) (50%, heal reduction, 70%, 80%)

Seems like it would make it more balanced for those all combo (stun, heal teams) and hurts them the most in team fights / or hard pushing.

I just wanted to thank you so much for opportunity to try out these custom games, and with that said, i was wondering if there was any known video quality glitch, for last game I was obviously playing on High-set quality, even though it showed very low on all options, which is essential for me to play the best i can.
