Ever since Proving Grounds came out, it seems ARAB games became nearly impossible to find. Why?

Proving Grounds is incredibly slow. Namely, the respawn timers suck. Games can drag on for as long as a game of SR.

It makes me sad

Because it's fun?

Mostly because Proving Grounds removes cheating.

I wish it were dead and only people who were good played. I would wait in que 20 minutes everytime to not get a team full of *******

Alrighty then... didn't create the thread to start a Dominion flame war.

Orphane has a good point, there's no way to cheat... though in my experience, those failed matches of ARAB were few and far between.

I suppose I'm just spoiled with the pace of Dominion. I hate how much slower Proving Grounds is, while still having the same snowball effects of SR. The 30s+ spawn timer at the end is so depressing!

I preferred ARAM in the first place. ARAB does not allow attrition games, which is a balancing issue; meanwhile, the Proving Grounds' large pushing area doesn't encourage attrition games the way Summoner's Rift's mid lane does. The Proving Grounds has the best of both worlds. Also, the 30+ second spawn timer actually shortens games.

Proving Grounds is pretty much tailor made for this sort of thing. I don't really care for it, since you can easily tell which team comp will win due to balance issues (ie team with the most long-range harass and sustain wins nearly every time); but if you want to play that game mode Proving Grounds is set up perfectly for it.

Also, Janna is Elder-God Tier broken on that map.
