I need a Makrura skin for Murky so I can make a “why not both?” meme.
This sounds like an incredibly fun way to take a five stack through qms for a night.
But people love ARAM because it’s a brawl, not just because it’s random. Recall that there’s an (or multiple) ARAM map without camps, just globe gens. People like the kind of game that’s just raw teamfights distilled straight from the source-- that cluster of nuts and fun at the start of every game where people run in circles at each other on mounts in mid lane.
It’s like a pinata that has pinatas inside it. Sure, your arms get tired after a while, and sure, the practicality is gone. But like, every time you hit it, you get more candy and more things to hit that give you candy. That’s ARAM… you’ll never need that much brawling, and sometimes it gets to a point where you can’t really brawl so you just kind of sit there in the enemy’s brawl, like when your arms get tired with the pinatas you just sit there in a pile of candy and pinatas.
Look, this is getting away from me. The point is nobody cares, aren’t queues pretty quick for both? The only queue I’ve spent more than in a minute in is either bugged or ranked, QMs live up to their name by being quick. And ARAMs, because of their quick nature, could have a smaller population but higher player-per-match turnover.
