Who asked for this game type? Who asked for the garbage heroes too? First Genji? Those games took about 1.5 hours to finish and no one had fun. Whiteman? 3 hours for an ARAM? Get real. This is obnoxious. You can’t even FF. Absolute cancer. Even when 3 players AFK it takes forever to push towers.

I’m not a huge fan of ASAM either, but we don’t need another post about it. If you really have a sincere wish to have your feedback heard, you should post in this (recent) thread regarding this subject.
Atleast they made it possible to b-step in ASAM now we can trash on it even harder
Its just comedy at this point, and no the OP is not my burner account.
Well, considering the Dev or he Blizz robot posted PTR patch notes where significant changes are proposed for ASAM, are you happy?
Personally, as I don’t think any changes can please those who dislike mirror games, I’d be fine with ASAM being removed if only to end this topic of “discussion.”
The vast majority of ARAM players agree with you. There are about 3 or 4 regulars here on the forums that get mad because there is a new post weekly about the topic.
I don’t think any of us were asking for the changes that are being implemented in the recent patch notes for ARAM . Just another case of community feedback being ignored.
We agree that there are many ways they could “fix” this. Nothing being done is probably the biggest mistake imho.
Mom told me it was my turn to spam the forums with topic nr 78 about how bad mirrors are.
People gets bored when every topic is the same casue everyone wants to be heard.

You’re wrong. In an actually constructive thread, a couple of posters mentioned lowering the CD of healing fountains.
The one Dev in charge can’t cater to all tastes and from what I can judge, they are just trying to please those who like ASAM, and make it less painful for those of us who don’t.

Lots of HotS players.
You’ll have to say that a few hundred more times I’m afraid.

just because you ignore posts that don’t agree with you doesn’t mean the feedback doesn’t exist.
If you convince yourself that a minority is, somehow, the ‘majority’ then it indicate you aren’t actually interested in divergent opinion, and must declare it doesn’t exist.

So, do I say this into a mirror, and if I do, will this also summon a demon?

Not being a WoW player, I had to look that one up Froggy. It was worth it to read that “Wilfred Fizzlebang” was the person responsible for summoning Jaraxxus. I so now want my last name to be Fizzlebang!
He was a demon that a gnome warlock summoned out in Crusade raid. He was then later killed by the demon casue he could not control it and then people had to kill the demon too.

Thank you for pointing that out.
That post is from 6 days ago (odd considering timing of the PTR notes, but i’ll just go with it) and seemed like it was more posed as a question, rather than “this change would make ASAM better”, to which a couple people didn’t like the idea and I believe there was one positive response. Not exactly an overwhelming response of people in support of the change.
IMO: It’s a weird change, as someone points out, how does this help an “all healer” game? I don’t think it helps towers get pushed any sooner either, because defenders also have access to the same CD reduce fountain.
And just the pink elephant in the room is that there have been hundreds of people ask to get rid of it, to make ARAM better as a whole (I personally like the “opt out” suggestion).
Ultimately people turn on a game for enjoyment and people who value their time shouldn’t be forced to play something that is not enjoyable by sheer 2% chance. I completely understand why people drop out regularly.

I agree with you on that point, I don’t think lowering the CD of fountains will make playing an all Ming or Genji game anymore balanced or fun. That’s a good point about all healer games, being able to regen in base and lowering the CD on healing fountains will just make all healer matches even longer.
While I don’t hate mirror matches, if only because they rarely happen, but I’m not confident that any amount of tinkering will make ASAM more palatable to those players who simply don’t enjoy all 5 hero matches.
Just an observation, but there is a pattern of people who have never posted on the forums before, who come here to post about getting rid of: MM/Same Hero/ASAM/whatever they want to call it.
Something compels them to go on blizz webiste, log-in and write a post. This isn’t just a forum regular that routinely comes here. I think that means something, and just underlying the issue, because how many more people will come here to do the same?
We cannot expect those people to sit here for hours an go through each thread where it is referred to as “MM”, or "ASAM, or “All Same Hero”, etc…
We should all be pushing Blizz to “fix it” rather than the “deal with it”, if we want to stop the posts from the Anti-ASAM Brigade, that will just keep coming.
