ARAM Banned Heroes

Hey. So I was wonderig whos idea was it to ban Hammer/Leoric and Abathur but keep for example Azmodan, Tassadar, Li Ming, Valla? I would understand Vikings and to some degree even Abathur but Leoric??? You wanna tell me he is more out of balance than Azmodan?

Allow Leoric back in the ARAM. He DEFINITELY is not most broken thing there. Or maybe explain? Is there some exploit I dont know about?

Leoric the Janitor. If he cant play it noone can.

same as tyrande hits 5 heroes with 1 owl,
chromie q pierce before lvl 18

If the Janitor cant, noone can.

He was banned because people only use him to afk feed on buildings. And players who did this had alot of feed reports thrown on them.

Probably people using ghost form to go through gate and rush tower/ minions. Having no minions probably sucks if you don’t have nazeebo, azmodan or zagara. Minions spawn every 30 seconds; leoric’s aram death timer is probably much lower than that for 5 minute+, so he can stop enemies from pushing for quite a while.

The good people at the company are long gone, so the good ideas are as well. Rather than just having ARAM, they bowed to I-trust-the-science-Reddit kids and constantly try to modify it to be “fun”. It’s like a wife leading a husband, just funny in a sad way.

Given that men are genetically incapable of asking for directions… :slight_smile:

Especially boomers, cant teach an old dog new tricks sometimes.

Yes

With the respawn timers as low as they are, the meta way to play Leoric in ARAM is to literally park yourself first at the enemy fort, basic attacking it until you die, then move onto the keep, then the core. You literally put the game on a timer, its toxic and horrible, and preventing it from occuring required either a ban of Leoric or a complete redesign of his trait.

Hammer post rework can easily be pocketed to win the game since she outranges towers at level 1. Hammer’s vulnerabilities are to people jumping her when isolated/outnumbered… which never happens in ARAM.

  • I’ve gone into great length as to why I think Azmodan is vastly overrated, but it mostly comes down to the lack of impact outside of stat-padding Globes. Azmodan only feels problematic when you have a team with no healer and low mobility, but you’d have problems with basically any other ranged artillery mage with that type of comp.

  • Tassadar and Li-Ming are completely unproblematic in ARAM and entirely a skill issue, whether that’s yours or your teammates.

  • Valla has some of the highest scaling, yes, but is also the second most frail character other than Murky.

Abathur is a special case, not only is he basically useless since there’s no extra lanes to soak, but also the game bugs out immensely when there’s multiple Abathurs on a single team.

The issue with Azmodan is he permanently disables the other team’s minion waves, and sometimes he accidentally does 6000 damage to your team in the process.

oh hey, played with you recently, muted at a level 18 account in ARAM while afk feeding to towers.

don’t really think you have much to speak about regarding balance considering your current account has a 20% WR

Me? I think you’re confused. I’m currently the top ranked player in the game, my main account is at a 73.8% win rate.

If I fed in your ARAM, it’s likely because you were afk for 5 minutes. Maybe get good enough at the game that you can leave the spawn before you criticize far superior players.

kinda hard for you to be the ‘top ranked player’ when:

a) the available metrics don’t list [you] as such
b) There are ‘top ranked’ players that have a higher winrate than your claimed 73.8%
c) you’ve posted replays of you being toxic, effectively useless in games, and then flaming other players for things that baffle them on why you’d be upset over it.
d) a 73.8% winrate would be 500 games without getting banned…

Given you have over 20 alts – many of which are sub 200 – are frequently silenced, have been shown to deliberately throw games, and have fixations on complaining about game balance that suggests less skill than you claim to have demonstrated to possess (correlations between ‘skill’ and complaints,) any claim about your “main” could be an account with AI games, at which point anything less than 100% is pretty silly as AI game can be left without consequence to maintain a ‘perfect’ record, especially for someone with no qualms with rolling an nigh-infinite replacement account to repeat more of the same flame & blame conduct.

But since you have no qualms with posted videos of your own replays for other people see the disconnect between your claims and your conduct, congrats on showing some of the depths of Dunning-Kruger :+1:

Yea the list can go on but 75% top ranked player you are not.

Have you ever thought about people also have a life outside of Hots ? Like stuff that suddenly comes up that need his attention. If you suddenly hear the fire alarm goes off do you just keep playing or you do actually react to it ?

Big words coming from someone who has zero ranked games in the last 2 years, and who always loses in aram and gets extremely low scores for afking every match.

Yes, I have thought about that. But when I get an average of 2 afkers or feeders in every game it seems unlikely that there are that many fire alarms going off in the world.

Isn’t this the site that causes point penalties for playing “low skill” characters like Probius? :skull:

It is the site that somehow has me in the top ranks. Which I can assure you isn’t even close to accurate.

None of your links are valid sources casuse anyone could make that kind of stuff in Windows Excel or some random online formula and claim its proof.

And for me losing in ARAM goes for. I dont really take this game seriously anymore. So me losing a few games here and there dont really matter. Also i dont afk in games. If you had checked any of them. But i have several proof you feed into the double number. Does not sound like you are some rank 1 player if you do that. Maybe your link shows you are rank 1 best feeder on your server. Which would be more accurate.

Oh, how could you Froggy! Losing a match in ARAM is such a rare crime, according to some on the forums, you need to play ARAM like you’re in some professional league.

Remember, you should always play ARAM as if your life depends on winning, no fun allowed, remove Azmodan from ARAM!
