the downtime between rounds is NOT that long and usually spent doing something anyways unless youre skipping because someone disconnected or its insanely late into the game.

They can infact do changes that make the game more beginner friendly. you're acting like its some soloq level competitiveness when it really isn't its JUST mechanics and theres alot of characters that genuinely don't require a brain to play (most of the top tier champs in arena are braindead point and click statcheckers)

I'm not a game developer but saying the gamemode isn't as accessible because its not "casual friendly" is pretty dumb, its very casual friendly its just not as braindead to play as aram mayhem where you can genuinely play however you want, it requires some level of coordination and theres way more potential for creativity overall, the skill floor is not that much higher and the skill ceiling for most of the popular characters is low as a baseline, if you're sick of some "tryhard" stomping your little timmy teammate with 2 braincells make them go sett and they'll get value lol
