It's a ultimate then, legendaries don't have that kind of thing
A pity, I like Sona but support isn't my thing
Well, you can probably make an argument that anything that isn't SR Is unpopular. For instance, if 95% of all games played are on SR, then fighting over which mode has 1.2% compared to the other have .8% seems immaterial to the larger observation that none of them are remotely popular compared to SR.
Obviously, I'm not sure where the breaking point is. If 20% of games are ARAM, then that is meaningfully popular with such a large player pool. 5%? I'm not sure.

So ADCs around the world have to suffer through a week of shit Sona players getting caught by aggressive supports and feeding the fuck out of their lanes?
Oh, I know. I was being facetious. She has a lot of skins and she has one great skin, so why the hell would she get an ultimate?
Of course, assuming she does. If she does, wtf Riot.

He wasn't talking about popularity, he was talking about competitiveness. Whether it's popular or fun or whatever, ARAM is like a casual, informal game.

On the bright side, at least it's not for Xerath if true
Indeed. I don't know whether Riot has released fractions of time each game mode is played, but if it is say 0-3% of games that are ARAM I can see that they see little value in improving it. Any larger changes that require more resources for any of the smaller game modes might cannibalize users of the other game modes rather than tapping people from a new market.
Ya it'll happen during preseason 5 so youll have nothing to worry about.

then they should make it casual and fight people who game the system.

I hope it's not Sona. I already have arcade which I love. Don't want people to whine about her super pokes either. 
My last match taught me the importance of always carrying 1-2 pinks as support. I usually just plop it in my favorite spots and only buy a new one if it gets destroyed. Now I fully appreciate its importance while dancing at dragon/baron/inhib turrets. Pretty much ensures blind spots against enemies trying to ward over walls. Also, I appreciate the importance of moving pinks now. That was such a great match. I learned a lot.

Oh god, please don't be true.
According to some files found in PBE, that is likely to be true.
Prepare for wubwubwub

Probably would get old as fast as blind pick Howling Abyss. Same 15 champs over and over.

The amount of people playing ARAM at any given time is more than 99% of other multi-player games' total online players.
Can't carry these people. Ignore the Kat's score, she got a triple at the end when it was over, but she and kha fed the Aatrox like 10-12 kills early in top lane. What am I supposed to do? If they were just half-way decent we would have won late game because I was getting fed.

By the way, a fed Aatrox is ridiculous.

Wrong thread dooood
Really? Why? The LoL thread has always put lcs info besides matches in here.
Unless there was some discussion about it recently?

Hopes for a Xerath ultimate skin, shattered.
Thank god for that. Least interactive champion in the game. I think I prefer Ziggs.
All lcs stuff generally gets posted in the lcs thread. Some things trickle into here. I guess it really doesn't matter, but I figure its easier to just have lcs stuff in there and actual game stuff in here.

Because you have to post in his thread!
ultimate skin being for sona is such a bad idea. she's got so many good skins already
also i'm gonna be poor as fuck :/
xerath is awful, awful
also i'm gonna be poor as fuck :/
yup
xerath is awful, awful
Damnit schmatt
True, I guess. Thing is, don't think many people check it out. It's really slow thread compared to this one.
He's trying to keep his thread on the front page!

I feel like we always put roster stuff in here and the LCS thread is for match days to discuss what's going on.
especially if it's big news like QTpie leaving Dig or Curse picking up Piglet.

Old Xerath is best Xerath. Can't stand anything about the rework.
shushei has a badass dog
the old one was warwick levels of bad. if he had his ult up you were dead, if he didn't he was useless
problem is new xerath is boring as fuck for the one playing as xerath and the one playing against him, pew pew is boring cos it's uninteractive, i'm really confused rito made him a pew pew champion in his rework
no, new xerath is much better than the old one

Uh, Xerath has multiple spells that can be interrupted, lacks an escape, has cast timers, and requires three skill shots for his ultimate. How is that less interactive than Ziggs? At his worst, Ziggs would just spam spells non-stop from safe zones that had extremely forgiving hitboxes, and his zoning tools were excessively forgiving.
I'm talking about current Ziggs.
There was a Riot post about this pretty recently. Basically, they don't like ARAM-only accounts either but they are trying to figure out how to address the issue in the "right" way, and they aren't sure unlocking everything in ARAM is the right way.
the problem is as anything with a huge playerbase such as league's
you make a tiny change, you gotta playtest the shit out of it and they probably just thought of arams as a done project and have no one working on it
it's a change that should happen, i remember arams being so much fun in those few weeks they allowed all the champions for everyone in my server
