Well the solution to ARM only accounts has been known for a very long time but don't think Riot will ever do it. Unlocking all champs for ARAM is just too logical.

is there any reason why riot removed champs from urf for being bullshit op but won't remove janna from aram?


IF they do anything, they will probably start with sona.

Whats so bad about janna? big slow tornado every once in a while, i rather have varus.


in a game type where poke comps are already overpowered, her disengage just makes you want to shoot yourself. add on her ult healing her team to full every time it's up and T_T

The thing about Janna is that most people don't realize that the optimal aram build is deathcap, zhonya, and 4 DFGs. You don't need boots there is nowhere to move too and you're fast enough with your w passive. You don't need pen you just need massive shields and ult heals. You don't need mana the game gives it to you for free. Just get 1100 AP and 40% CDR and go to town, clear all the waves with a single tornado then win the game.

Before her nerfs she was hands down the strongest aram champ in the game.



goodluck getting to that fullbuild with any reasonable early/midgame items at all. having 40% CDR early in aram is crucial.


Its really not that hard. What are they going to do, push your tower down without creeps and into a massive shield? You really don't need 40% CDR early in ARAM, you need the immediate effect on your spells much more than you need CDR. You get 2-3 Q's per wave (depending on your level)with 0% CDR. You don't really need more


Exactly. It's impossible to lose aram with Janna. They can't take towers without creeps, and chances are your team is hard pushing.


the hyperbole and janna-from-2-years-ago memories are ridiculous. janna is not the solocarry she used to be in aram. its absolutely possible to roll a slightly inferior team comp and simply lack the waveclear to keep them off your tower if you lose a skirmish. janna is not a 1v5 freewin the way ziggs or sona are atm. she used to be. used to be. used to. used. #youhaventplayedaramin6months.

You're not listening. I never said she solo carried...


Try and take a janna's tower without killing her first. Now try to kill a Janna hiding behind four teammates and a tower.

She might not carry, but if but played like an idiot she doesn't lose.

lolking says Janna is in the top 10, though what it really says is "fuck your shit I'm Sona".

I'm more interested in optimal ARAM builds. I've had a ton of success with Frostfang, though it's sad on certain champs that you can't start Frostfang + Tear. Chalice is also a fine start on a lot of champs, but against a team with low AP damage I've often wondered if it just makes more sense to itemize some early damage instead. And I think your itemization is particularly important for low-death ARAM champs; someone like Morgana or Lux is rarely going to die early, so you should buy something that synergizes with the fact that you'll probably be out there for 10+ minutes before shopping.

That's pretty easy to figure out. For some people, how big your dick is only matters if you can compare it to other people's.

Janna has to actually aim her tornado down the middle of the lane to win. sona just has to smash buttons for 20 minutes.

It's not hard for Janna, but people don't understand that every 30s they have to kill the wave before going back to fishing. That's why even when she had her AP ratio on Q she wouldn't win nearly as much as she should, because most people at too terrible even for that basic concept.
Then again we should already know that we're all shitters in the end.

Do people really think ARAM only accounts are an actual problem? I have like almost all the champs unlocked (minus maybe like 3 or 4), and I never go into an ARAM game going "DAMN ALL THOSE FUCKING ARAM SMURFS WITH ONLY POKE CHAMPIONS BOUGHT"...
like wot, it's not even a big deal.

Chalice is almost always a bad buy on aram. You get more AP from morello and all the MP 5 you need for 97% of the cast for less gold. Get the cdr/mp5 item that builds into morello instead.

I much prefer the tear + morello combo, most of the time, tear early on is so good for near unlimited spam all while stacking quite easily, and scales insanely hard lategame. Unless you're going for full burst, and need a much more offensive build (like lich or DFG early on), I think tear is always a solid buy.

Tear and RoA are both great but only if you can afford not having any power the first part of the game.

Going both is too much of an investment imo, especially without any early CDR to do it, but consider the comparison to Chalice build path, Morello + Tear is much nicer .

pretty sure waveclear is more important than absolute poke, or mixed damage types in aram.


It's really not, because as long as your team combined has enough waveclear your own individual wave clear doesn't mean much unless you are by yourself/one teammate, and even then they're probably just going to kill the tower after a point. And shiv exists.

If Janna gets the wave down to 70% your team probably has one more person with an AoE ability to clear them.

You don't get chalice for the AP, you get it for the early mana regen/magic resist. Every point of mana regen early matters for AP casters, and its passive applies to your base mana regen (plus anything from masteries/runes). Get chalice, then if you want 40% CDR finish Morello's first.

Tower aggro is 100% fucked in this patch. I wish I had the replay (rito pls) where Ezreal and Annie tower dive me and in the space of 4 seconds the tower changes aggro 3 times, once to Tibbers, once to Ezreal and right before the last shot goes off (to get me the kill) switches back to Tibbers. Like really?

its pretty annoying. You wont notice one or two aram accounts in the enemy team, you will just think you had bad luck this time, but it adds up.
Its really annoying when there is a whole tryhard 5 premade doing that shit.



I dont know why Riot would not enable all champs in aram, its not like anyone will go "well, i never have to buy champions anymore, i can play them all in aram, just have to play 100 games and i probably have 1 game with the one champion i want to play right now!"

its even in the name ALL RANDOM. its not named "some random", the fun for me is making the random team work somehow, it was funnier when it was the old SR aram that didnt have ambient gold so much, but i take what i can get.

I mean, Galt gave me shit for not playing ranked, but I most definitely played a fuck ton of ARAM. Even when I'm stuck with whatever shit-tier ARAM champion, I don't even notice, I just attribute it to RNG, and that some teams are just going to be stronger, that's sort of the whole point of ARAM. :/

When ARAM first came out I played the shit out of it and had a really high winrate, and trust me even back then there were "smurf" accounts. Every game would be 8/10 top tier champs. That's not RNG or good reroll luck when it happens every single game. I'm sure it's only gotten worse at the high end. I have no idea about the middle though.

IDK about NA server, but over here, once you get in hightish aram mmr (is that even a thing?) you start running into the same people over and over and every game is 8-10 super good aram champion, mixed with the odd bad rng guy and the free week champion.
My account have lots of bad champions for aram, but i have to admit that these days when I'm choosing what champion to buy I ask myself "would i hate life if i draw this champion in aram?" (main reason of why i dont own shyvana still)

I often build morello and Grail on casters like Janna, Ziggs etc. After these two items I go for deathcap, lichbane and Void Staff and whatever I need for the last item depends on the Situation. That is my go-to Janna Build on ARAM

Played over 1700 games on ARAM :<
