Chromie and KT are completely toxic in ARAM.
Chromie can stand a mile away and even if you have no clue how to play, you will hit the enemy all the time because no AOE indicators. Chromies most of the time will have low deaths, high damage and end up as MVP. Chromie needs zero brain in ARAM. In one lane maps heroes are clumped up all the time. Just fire and forget. You can do this while watching TV or drinking coffee. On top of that her slowing sands are way too big for a one lane map. She can completely control the gates and you have basically nothing to deal with that because unless she moves away, she can just keep it on.
Kael’thas is as toxic. Just throw out living bombs constantly and weaken the enemy. Again, people are clumped up in ARAM - that’s the nature of one lane maps. On top he just throws in some flamestrikes. Top damage garanteed and unlike a Jaina for example, he has higher range as well. Much safer to play. KT is basically a win if your team doesn’t AFK or troll. Later in game your living bombs will just deal tons of damage and the enemy has to basically split constantly which makes it easier to pick off single targets. Last time I killed the whole enemy team with living bombs that spread constantly between them. Skill? Nope. Just rely on bad players on the enemy team. KT needs no skill to play. You just stay behind your team mates and throw out living bombs and flamestrikes.
And although those heroes completely ruin the fun in ARAM, Blizz instead bans Leoric, because of “false positive” feeding reports. Some heroes are strong with their ults in ARAM, like Junkrat, but Chromie and KT are good all the time. They don’t have to rely on that one big ult that has tons of value in a one lane map.
I know that there will be replies like “It is ARAM, that’s how it should be”. I don’t think so. If one hero dominates a game mode so much that it is basically GG only because he is on the enemy team, then this is just dumb and a waste of time. In one of my last matches the enemy had 2 KTs. Toxic to the max. You basically had no chance to even stand somewhere. All the time living bombs everywhere and flamestrikes on the ground. That was really “fun”.

I do agree with you Kael is an almost guaranteed free win in Aram, but only and precisely because the mode has no matchmaking at all.
He excels against people who keep spreading LB and don’t know how to take one and walk away from their team (it is possible even on a 1 lane map). Which is almost all the players in Aram, as many of them don’t even have human experience (AI players).
I don’t think Kael should be removed. Kael teaches positioning to players. After losing to him 10 times, maybe a few people will start thinking how to not die to constant LB spreads and explosions.

TLV 5v5 would be more interesting.

There was one with only hammers. Good times.
Thrusters were also active all game.

There was a good halloween and christmas brawl as well.
Read patch notes and you will know why he is banned in aram.

Hard to take you seriously when you make hyperbolic statements that Chromie always hits her spells in ARAM (no, she doesn’t) and that she takes no brain.
Like said above its all about which side pays more attention to macro moves and adapts (i.e. stop spreading bomb. Chill a few seconds instead of constantly fighting).
I played as Chromie recently in ARAM against a 5 stack with my team all being solo queues. We were all squishies against Alarak, ETC, Valla, Rexxar, and Stukov. It was a difficult fight and as Chromie I had to be very mindful of my macro moves. My team actually won that match, probably because we changed how we played to fit the situation, not beat our heads against their comp and hoping for the best.
Point is the devs banning certain heroes is not for the reasons you think or could even understand in your current mindset. And playing and winning ARAM against tough mages comes down to how well you will/can adapt your gameplay.

Chromie? Maybe…but Kael? Are you sure? He is not toxic, you just need brains to play against him.
Leoric isn’t banned, he’s just temporarily disabled because a bug had him appearing more often than normal.
Source on that? Because the patch notes say it’s because he’s giving false positives on feed detector. (Which makes sense given how often Leoric dies there.)

There’s no bug, the developer comment was pretty clear that he is disabled until they can remove false positives for Intentional Feeding reports triggering on Leoric and Viking players (even when they aren’t feeding or accumulating excessive deaths on purpose).
Sounds like an L2p issue to me, just learn to position yourself and don’t stand in the fire and you will have less problems.
And yes every ap hero with aoe has easier chances in aram than single target dps heroes. Hanzo, Jaina or Ming are also favoured in this mode, because it is just a brawl map on one lane.
I still think it is because of the fact that many Leo players in ARAM are just afk-killing the fort, keep and core.
I was thinking the same thing, must be all those fort/keep campers triggering the flood of reports.
Vikings is a bit easier to understand as they can die a lot by the nature of their low health. (But I don’t understand who reports them for that in Aram…)

Well, since it was relabelled to brawl, some people take it too seriously…
But yeah, TLV can die so easy there
lol, i once forced the players to ALSO pick up klthuzad while i solo q in aram, 3 of us had ktz to pick, i convinced thm to go in with 3 ktz instead of a tank n bruiser, w did hav a healer.
we lost the game though, bcoz they had intense push power with azmo n zagara and an etc that kept disrupting us.
but that before our core exploded, that 1.5 min that we got as a 20lvl 3 ktz with fissure upgrade., fissures popping up like popcorns 
, was worth it
its aram, should b crazy
