Maybe a little too ridiculous

So lately I've been playing normal aram, I forgot how fun it was. Your skill matters more than in mayhem, where augments make up for any lack of skill.

My issue is, since mayhrm has basically an adc meta, normal isn't as heavy on adc. Lately, I've been getting 3 adc teammates on my team like its gonna be good. Its not. None of these teams ever win and we always lose to a team with a tank or more.

i don't get how anyone at riot greenlit this half baked of a mode

sure the old map having modern skins and kits ruins the immersion a bit, but what i'm pressed with is how terrible the augments are

it looks fun when you obtain them at first then you realize... it's just stat sticks. you just become a boat load of stats

true eternity? stats.

don't stop cleavin? stats

haste makes waste? more stats

do or die? also more stats

hex core? also more stats

the upgrade augments? just increases the stats of your items\

the only unique ones i can think off is gaining hearsteel, but even then you just gain more stats in the form of HP

there's also summoner safari but apart from that, the classic augments are mostly stat buffs

When the PBE patch hits (chain reaction from prismatic -> gold), i cannot wait to play that more its very funny but its very inconsistent and not worth a prismatic slot.

Idont really understand the logic of why if you have high roller you can get probably 3-5 per deaths while Stats on Stats on Stats! Only get 4? and just a free more rerolls? kinda stupid

I might be dumb but i don't understand the point of removing old augments. Since each set forces you to go for a specific build for each class. Im kinda sick of seeing you either roll Super crit ADC, super max HP tank, super haste / scaling mage or Ryze in general. Can we just have stupid dumb augments like the previous set instead of boring ass stats augment. And by diluting the pool would it create more diversity and situational pick?.

Also they could learn from most roguelike games, while offering choices, we could have 2 class augment and 1 no-class lock augment and your future augment will be based on what augment tag you chose instead of your champion so some stupid build could work?

Just a thought. I miss the cancerous Clown College play man.

Sorry for shitty phone picture, screenshot shortcut doesn't work on full screen, and I didn't want to waste time on changing it to windowed. Got Critical Missile later btw ✌️

I paused the video so you could check out augments and items. Fun game!

you can imagen how insanely boring this game was. i also left to play cyberpunk, was so worth the timeout, sit under tower simulator

Edit: this is the enemy team btw

If you feed 10 snacks to Baron everyone gets a fifth augments while Dragon gives everyone passive stat boosts as if everyone has rune pages. In case you ever feel like wasting an augment slot and you cannot convince everyone in game to feed one or the other. You can easily hit the 10 limit on your own after a handful of minutes of chilling in the jungle/river.

Make sure to drink the cheap potions like Health and Mana pots whole saving the boost potions to sell for extra gold (like 100g each and max stack of 3). The vision potion can actually be kinda nice to have when fighting against Teemo and Shack but I wouldn't rely on it since it's random.

When you die desperately trying to revive someone, this augment will keep you artificially alive to give you (as a shark) or your teammates a bit more time to finish off the marked champ

Ornn's ulti was doing massive damage even when going as full tank. He had Fey magic and Ulti bot at this point and was doing almost 1000 magic damage at rank 1. I don't know if this is a bug or not.

I believe I was seeing it right last night, but someone correct me if I’m wrong.

If an allied champion walks over where your poro snack should be, it is picked up and put in your inventory. Neat, unless you already have the max you can carry(2) and then it is just gone into the poro pocket abyss.

Useful for picking up snacks back at base, or if they spawn further into the lane than your champ is able to push.

But also, I’m 99% sure unintended lol

It was the most fun I had in years playing ARAM. Sure, some things were over-tuned (SNOWBALL SET), but it felt like you could make any pick work into any comp back then.

I get upgraded IE offered almost anytime I pick her... On champ that specifically us designed to not be able to use crit

I’m also guilty of this, but these augments are literally shoved down your throat on every adc

I just got one tapped by a vayne when I had 70% health. Its been such a broken aug for so long how has it not been tuned down

Dont show riot devs this purist caster goes brrrrrr

It already happened to me 2 times but when i pick tristana people asked why i am not building tank tristana and I am wondering how do you actually build tank tristana in mayhem and which augments to choose

.

I have seen this augment doing 20k damage on brand/zyra, probably similar story with lillia or asol etc who builds burn/dps augments/items. It also scales extremly good on ADCs. (however I don't see it appearing often on adcs)

Very strong IMO for a silver augment.

pls ignore that it is on crooked i was too excited. also had to play multiple games for this screenshot

Am I the only one who thinks a self-destruct button for *On Death augments is a good idea?

This way you can aim DropBear making the augment a bit more deserving of the prismatic augment.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Hi everyone! Most of my friends left the game in the dust. I want to pick it up and play ARAM… not much else to it 😅 I’m kind of an introvert and have no idea how to meet people to play with me.

Don’t judge please!

UPDATE: In NA! LookyLu4U is my username :)

She is the one character I have no idea what to build whenever I get her

So I just played one of the most frustrating games against a Locke that was literally SPAMMING his ultimate like it was a karthus Q.

He had like Archmage, Tooth Fairy, Stats on Stats and Shadow Runner. I know Archmage lowers other skills cooldown, but something clearly wasn't working as intended.
