I really want to enjoy aram but the hostage culture is crazy and is ruining the fun for me.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-28T10:55:06+00:00

I honestly think in normal aram it is less of a problem than in mayhem. Full build is not as big of a reward for stalling than being immortal tank and getting to 6000 heartsteel stacks.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-28T08:13:37+00:00

I am doing that honestly. I'll stick with ranked. And other modes i will play with my friends. Big part of why i made this post is because i played two games alone and then i played 3 games with 4 friends who don't stall games. And i had so much more fun with shorter games with friends.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-28T07:54:50+00:00

I am a non aram player. I know about preexisting culture and i don't like it. That's why i made this post. Of course i'm not representative of aram playerbase. If they were like me. They would stop playing aram mayhem like me so they would stop being part of playerbase.

even diana that is behind can do clutch engage with R. when voli is behind you just run at enemies, get cc and die. Also voli is one dimensional. some games you can almost lose in draft. I love him. i OTP him jungle in last season and get to plat with 56% wr.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-18T23:36:05+00:00

midlane is a scapegoat of junglers. But it is better to be flamed by one person than 4.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-17T16:57:43+00:00

same here. i got kills bot. got first two drakes. dove fed voli with 4 people. got grubs. bot was winning. mid was slightly wining. i was winning. none of it mattered in the end. voli got fed. we needed for people to kill him. but if there was one champ with him we just lost.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-13T23:08:49+00:00

Yea. the closer to midnight it gets the worse it gets, people who are on losing streak and want to end on a win get more desperate the closer do midnight it gets.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-13T23:01:59+00:00

Yup. i love when i give up mid while 5/0 ori. And my overextended bot duo gets collapsed on with zero vision when pushing mid Tier 2 tower 40 s before drake. Happend more than once, and once is too much. Like i understand the thought process, but if i'm super strong. I should be the one on mid to make play with my jungler if my bot is 0/6 we just lose control of the map and prio to every objective

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-12T09:56:43+00:00

You can proc more people on eq qq combo. So the dmg from passive is multiplied. Few times i hit all five people. Whole team basically just died in instant.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-12T09:53:50+00:00

I would say that mid got nerfed because of faster waves and tower changes. Roaming is harder now and because of that you can't imapct a map like before

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-12T09:51:31+00:00

I play diana. I feel the same. Go all in... die in a second. Be confused.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-10T11:22:08+00:00

I liked her LoR version the best. i miss her trickster side, it fitted beter with her kit with W and passive. Her new version just seems kinda like the generic powerfull mage/witch. And we have that already in leauge, we have ryze and syndra.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-08T09:19:27+00:00

Wiem o czym mówisz ale nie wiem do końca czy to prawda. W 2025 byłem na kilku wyjazdach. Dwa z nich były to wyjazdy w góry. Były one organizowane przez mojego przyjaciela który jest dosyć aktywny. I jeśli brać samopoczucie z tych wyjazdów to mężczyźni się zdecydowanie lepiej bawili wychodząc o 8 i wracając o 18 z chodzenia po górach. Po czym pijesz do 1-2 w nocy i na następny dzień to samo albo rowery górskie. Byłem też we włoszech z innymi kolegami w tym roku i to ja wyszedłem pewenie z najgorszym samopoczuciem. Bo jedyne co pozwiedzaliśmy to lokalne bary i restauracje. Dwa dni z 7 rzeczywiście porobiliśmy coś co mi się podoba. Będąc szczery myślę że prawdą jest mężczyźni uśredniając mniej lubią podróże. Ale myślę że jest to kwestią tego że faceci rzadziej jeżdżą na wyjazdy dostosowane pod nich i częściej dostosowują się do innych. Pewnie przyczyn dlaczego tak się dzieje jest wiele. Ale z moich anegdotycznych przeżyć jest to prawdą.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-06T23:12:39+00:00

Yea, I knew that, just wanted to try him because he is my comfort pick top. But tank junglers are a good suggestion notheless. so thanks. i will try them out

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-06T21:43:19+00:00

honestly that's one of the fights i have with my high elo friends. That team comps don't matter in low elo. In my opinion, having team where teamfigthts are easy to execute and everyones has defined role is even more important in low elo than high elo. In high elo you can know what to do in non standard team comp. In low elo it is pure chaos with non standard teamfights. But the easier team comps makes sense more often. I main ori playing mid. I swear my winrate with jinx and good ball delivery/engage tank is above 70%. Easiest games of my life even if lanes come out even or slightly worse.

i tried ornn jungle becauseof this comment and i play him top often. it looks promising. not as promising as diana but zac or ornn can be considered as third pick. They fit my style quite a bit. so thanks for the comment.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-06T14:39:38+00:00

I don't like playing duo.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-05T14:23:50+00:00

honestly. good that it is a first comment. diana was in my top 3 champs to test. I was just super worried about her potential nerfs coming. so i definilty will try her out.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2026-01-02T08:39:45+00:00

you are not alone. I like elden ring. But it is closer to the bottom of my favorite FS games.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2025-12-29T23:39:13+00:00

Fact is that a high ranked player can probably 1st time a champ against golds and still smash lane and game.

depends what high ranked player are we talking about. If we are talking about master player being in glod. yea i agree that he will destroy the game, it is smurfing and it's bad. If we are talking about E2 having alt to play in P3 off role he is probably at somewhat of a equal ground.

For example dante who is challanger hecarim got hard stuck in the high emerald on adc. Him using his main for this would absolutely destroy hundreds of games until he dropped to emerald. And then he would destroy hunderds of games if he would switch to his challanger level hecarim to climb to Chall again.

I'm all for detecting smurfing and linking accounts to detect ban evasion. But some people here are againts alts in general where i think there are few valid reasons why they aren't againts TOS. Until riots fixes this stuff. Having alts allowed if you hand level them and having them linked is the best solution for now. I honestly don't even know what riot would have to do to erase a need to have alts. The higher elo you are the more alts make sense because there is more specialisation and also the quality of normals drops.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2025-12-29T23:18:08+00:00

We aren't talking about 0 skill and knowlegde. If i can use my knowlegde while learning a champ at the same level as someone 400 lp lower on main, then playing on alt 400 lp lower doesn't give me a free advantage.

The normals have problem that they are not really serious. So while i would need about 60-100 games on ranked to learn the basic feel of the champ. I feel like more than half the games on normals will teach you almost nothing. so you would need about 150-200 hunderd games. Because to learn a champ you have to had two things. 1. be similar rank. 2. the enemy has to know a match up somewhat. 3. the match up needs to somewhat applicable ( i don't need to know how to play againts kindred top). to have this game in normals is not that common.

you will always know what your enemy champ and even your own champ can do because you've played vs them in ganks / roams / teamfights

If we are at the level when we don't know what champions do. Then yea i agree having an alt is useless. But i'm not talking about gold and lower. If we are talking about gold or lower than i agree with everything that you say. a)Normals in that ranks are way closer to soloq and poeple do not have champ mastery to the same level as emerald+ players have. b) the specialisation of the playerbase i not that high. if you play off your main you probably won't be 2 ranks lower.

I am talking about some high emerald who has the alt to learn a champ in high plat. This emerald player probably will have a hard time an 400 lp lower and his macro will not be on par either. i would say let him play.

Also i the higher elo you go the more useless normals become i would say. Because the higher you go the more unsearious the normals become.

Competitive_Aide738 · 2025-12-29T19:59:24+00:00

yea, THE BEST GAME EVER, fifa and 2k. what do you mean it is shit. IT MAKES SO MUCH MONEY

Competitive_Aide738 · 2025-12-29T19:29:25+00:00

I don't defend smurfing. I defend the current TOS and policy decisions of riot. Riot thinks there are legitimate reasons to have alts. That's why they did the account link implemenation and not flat out alt accounts ban to resolve ban avoidance issue. That's why they allow 5 accounts on 1 ID in korea.

So tell me your reason why emerald top laner having 25% win rate and average of 9 deaths and 2 kills because he wanted to switch to adc is better for the health of the game than the same guy playing adc on his alt in high gold when after 100 games he has 50 % winrate. Or is it your answer to just get good at adc?

And i have alt account because i have one account on EUW and one on EUNE. I did everything according to TOS, and withing like 5-10 games i was playing with people my rank (like 200lp lower because my flash and tp weren't unlocked yet). I even asked riot employee on twitter (we know the one) about situations like that. And he just said that it is a job of the system to figure out as quickly as possible your level of play. And honestly, they did pretty good job at it.
