It sucks ALL the fun out of what makes aram good: A variety of different interactions and abilities in a small arena with a simple goal in mind. Instead it becomes drudgery after just a few minutes ESPECIALLY if there is a hard disable or “CC” in the kit.
Thank you.
Hard agree on all fronts. MM (mirror match) is just a game of tic-tac-toe and who can get their ability off first, whereas ARAM is more of a chess game where you can employ strategy and counters.
It hurts my brain to sit through a MM with how basic it is.
Please don’t remove it! I still haven’t gotten to play one mirror match yet!
Also deal with it nerds. It’s a 2% chance and ARAM is a joke mode.
It was brought back due to player demand. They are not removing this.

One of the reasons i Stopped playing ARAM, is because i NEVER got same-hero matches anymore. I thought they stopped doing it actually.
This just Proves it: The matching system can READ the minds of it’s players. How else can identical-hero matches happen non-stop for those who hate them, and yet, never happen for those that enjoy them?
At this point, I’d like MM removed, so I no longer have to read these exaggerated and constant complaints.
I don’t really like most mirror games, but they are very infrequent and as much as I don’t care for them, many players do enjoy them.
When all you play is quick match, you won’t get any MM ARAMs. Quit trolling.
But yet those that complain about this somehow think 3v3 or 4v4 mirrors are still ok. How come that is more fine then 5v5 ?
I would be happy if they added an option to see if players wanted mirror matches.
As described already by Bliz they can’t split matching queues (the same reason we can’t have a solo only check box).
So instead I’d like there to be an drop down option, but it only engages after you get matched to not effect the queue;
Now every option adds, subtracts or does nothing to the chances of getting a mirror.
Obviously nothing will change because development has stopped but this would be on my hypothetical wish list to stop whingers 
From my understanding ARAM has no MM
MM in that post likely means “‘mirror matches”.
However, aram does have mmr, but it broadens the rules faster than qm does, so it may make “rainbow” matches so the evident mmr is to wide to seem like it doesn’t have any, which also means mmr change will be almost nonexistent in those cases.
But for regions with enough players and games, the mmr can function as “normal” and players can get into the usual low/hi ruts of mmr spread in other modes (eg leavers and trolls at lower ends)
Silly me
You got any links to Bliz posts about it by any chance?
Brawl has its own MMR that is tracked separately from the other modes. It is seeded from Quick Match. Even though there is an MMR for Brawl, we favor faster matches for Brawl because it is not a competitive mode.
There’s a similar post from spazzo, but in terms of aram (aram has mmr, but effectively ignores it for fast matching)
Because you get the choice of playing same hero or picking something different. MM forces you to play 1 hero, no alternate pick options.
I have no issues in those 3x same hero games because the player had the choice to pick something different.
Thanks for that
It was a Reddit thread IIRC. I checked out the original thread and a lot of people saying they wanted this feature were also posting how they don’t like HOTS as a game. Why let disgruntled players who say they don’t like HOTS community or say they don’t enjoy ARAM change ARAM for the rest of us? Especially people on another platform voting.
Yep, all the real players (not the ones on Reddit) seem to actually hate this mode when I encounter it in-game. We all want it to end so we can get an actual ARAM. People alt+F4, we give up/sit in base or we try to stomp the enemy team if they show signs of weakness. It’s definitely not popular or wanted by the actual ARAM players in-game.
The logical thing to do would be designing a box we check to opt out of 10 of the same when we queue for ARAM. Defenders of this mode cite that it would kill this mode (basically admitting it isn’t actually popular). I personally think people defending this just like seeing us suffer/get trolled with 10 of the same.
Also, people defending it say we are just afraid to lose on the same hero? If it was popular, why would I MVP with a hero I barely play? Most of the enemy team just kept running out with Q and dying the whole match. Yea…scary stuff.

I personally wouldn’t be ashamed if I was 0-10 in this game as long as we get it over with asap. I’ll alt+F4 these in general. Rather have a leaver queue ARAM but the issue is when it rolls 10 of the same in leaver queue like above.
Make no sense. Just because 1-2 others was allowed to play something diffently then you ok about playing a mirror but when its pure mirror you rage about it. If you are playing ARAM to win with meta comps then why not just play ranked instead ?
Those players will be back complaining about Zuljin/Liming and Mephisto in thier next game anyway so it would not matter if it were removed or not. People are quick to find something els to complain about. You can easy browse the forums and see how many remove/ban X hero there are.
If mirrors are gone people will go back asking for all broken range heroes to get removed. ARAM complainers never learn lol.
As a nice change of pace, on Reddit, someone was complaining about Zagara in ARAM. I find it odd how rare it is for anyone to complain about how beastly she can be in that mode.
People won’t be happy until ARAM, stands for “All Raynor, all Mid.”
But they were complaining Nydus was terrible in ARAM. It was a fail complaint
