    Being at player in and out of the top 10% aram mmr, I'm surprised they didn't focus on the importance of dying/suiciding. It's part of the game mode and best way to win the next team fight. I can't tell you how many times I watch teammates at 5% hp play so far back they don't help with anything cuz they are afraid to die. After a team fight just finishes, push lane/objectives and find a way to suicide. Your team needs you at 100% hp, not at 25% sitting on 2k gold having to play safe which actually hurts your team. Last point, try not to have your entire team be AD or AP. Going AP Kog'ma or AD Bard are still great options.
    I'm glad aram is getting more recognition. It helps with understanding comps, being flexible with items and roles, how to engage and navigate a chaotic team fight, and how to dodge skill shots as well.

    • @WanderTheNomad

      The most satisfying way is to get executed under enemy turret at low health WHILE THEY'RE UNDERNEATH IT. Though the most smart way is probably to either get executed by minions or die to turret after winning a teamfight.

      @shaso3664 3 роки тому +5

      There is actually more to that. Usually in 5 Stacks it highly depends on the teamcomp and the situation whether one player just sui's in and who stays back to clear waves. Sometimes it is even better to stay alive with low hp (e.g. when you have long range wave clear and you lost a fight in the middle of the map) and sometimes you can probably just full hp tactical int for tower hp when you pushed tier 2 or even nexus turrets. I think that would just be too much for the video or they simply forgot to mention it

      "Ranked" aram would literally defeat the purpose of ARAM and anyone who wishes for it obviously doesn't get the spirit of the game mode. And if you think for a second that no one will be toxic in this ranked mode, you're sorely mistaken.

      It's the same ish with people going "OMG THERE NEEDS TO BE RANKED URF"

Never added plates when SR did. Of course, they didn't start doing champ specific changes when they did for ARAM. They never gave a shit about the mode, they didn't give a shit when it was dying, they didn't want it to stay alive or give it a chance. There are no draft alternatives to SR.

You made high elo aram sound a lot more tryhard and serious than it really is. I think you were talking more about 5 man competitive aram than solo queue which could've been more clear. I only play solo and half of the stuff that you talk about, rarely anyone does. I have never seen a freeze ever. People don't build lee sin as support.

    I wish they did ranked ARAM, it would reward players for learning as much champs as possible

      But would make the game mode a toxic piece of shit like Summoners Rift. Me and my friends queue up in Aram because there are no strings attached

      It wouldn't really work because despite all the champion specific balance changes, some champions are flat out better than others. Sona and Seraphine both have severe champion specific nerfs and they still are highest winrate champions here.

    Ive got thousands of aram matches, normally either solo or duo with a friend, and it is an incredible confidence booster to know that i didnt learn anything by watching this video

    Seeing the old summoners rift and remembering how ARAM was played back then made me super nostalgic for it. I miss the old league :'(
