That's meant a game state where marksmen have been effectively a required pick as a result. A lot of players have called us on that, in particular that we've talked of wanting to support more diversity, but haven't opened up the most consistent part of team comps.

Our biggest goal with mid-season is to change that, make it so it's a really effective choice to sometimes run a comp that doesn't have a marksmen in bot lane, or potentially doesn't have a marksmen at all. It's kind of workable at present, but we agree should be a lot more so. That's likely to involve work on items for non marksmen bot lanes, adjusting some supports so that they've got stronger synergies with non marksmen, maybe changes to things like how towers take damage even. We generally want to stay away changing individual champs so that they go bot though, this is about opening up the position to other classes, not putting mechanics on champs that are bot lane specific.

This has been planned for a while. They just need to find the balance where both types are viable.

Pretty sure both are viable, pro ADC players are just overstating the situation to try to get adc buffs. Sure you have to play a subset of the ADCs right now, but that is ALWAYS true at a competitive level.

But that approach directly contradicts thier desire to flatten power curves.

Uhm, are we not supposed to get mastery tokens on ARAM anymore?

They reworked what it takes to get grades on that map this patch not sure if that caused a bug maybe.

Looked it up, apparently Riot decided that ARAM sullied the mastery system because it wasn't true competition or some bullshit.

They recently adjusted the metrics on ARAM to account for its playstyle.

They just made aram compare to aram stats, like how summoners rift compares to summoners rift stats.

You now have to actually play "well", as in the top % of aram games on the champ, same as summoners rift, compared to before where they were basically free if you just kda whored in a winning game.

KDA whoring actually didn't work in ARAM, since doing so tended to leave you low in other metrics. It was harder to get an S in ARAM than it was on SR.

I vaguely remember everyone getting S's every time there was a stomp where one teamcomp just sucked. People just farmed kills for 20 minutes then had insane kda's and all get at least s-/s.

Was a while ago though, and stomps don't seem as common anymore. Guess reroll's help too.

So true. It’s amazing. Not having to ask everyone in champ select if they want before you reroll is super nice

The larger champ pool is nice. There's less perfect team comps every game in aram.

Also true. I've managed to scrap up to the level where the only ARAM accounts are a few times and... ugh. It's definitely noticeable.
