Updates to ARAM
Coming in Patch 3.4 we have something for ARAM lovers, likers, and occasional enjoyers everywhere. Part of the fun in ARAM is the randomness but we know it can be frustrating when you end up with an exceptionally bad team composition and you are out of re-rolls. So coming in the next patch you will be able to purchase extra re-rolls in ARAM with Poro Energy.
Our main priority with this change is to give you greater control over your team comp while minimally impacting the fun that comes from the inherent randomness of the mode. Additionally we are considering the initial version of this feature as a trial as we are looking to make changes in the future so please send us your feedback, because we will be listening.
Here's how it works:
What stays the same:
- The existing ARAM game flow is unchanged: you can use rerolls only in champion select.
- The free rerolls still recharge as they always have and you can store up to two ARAM rerolls as always.
What's new:
- After you use up all free rerolls, you will be offered the option to purchase extra rerolls with Poro Energy.
- You cannot use more than 2 rerolls (including free and extra) per game, and you have to use the free ones first.
- That means: If you entered the lobby with 2 free rerolls, you cannot purchase more for that game.
- Extra purchases of rerolls are limited to 3 per day. Resetting each day, the first reroll you purchase will cost 50 Poro Energy, the second 100 Poro Energy, and the third 200 Poro Energy.
- You cannot store-up extra rerolls.
- Extra rerolls are just the same as free rerolls: rerolled champions are still pickable by allies.
We hope that this design gives you an outlet for the absolute worst team comp rolls while at the same time maintaining the core fun of ARAM.
That's it for now, let us know what you think of the new system when you get to try it out in Patch 3.4. Until then, we will see you on the Howling Abyss!
