0. INTRODUCTION 0.1 – What is ARAM? ARAM is initially a custom game mode (= created by the players) of LoL, largely inspired by what had already be done on DotA or Starcraft. ARAM means All Random All Mid: two teams of five players compete on a single line of a MOBA map, with death being the only option to reset and buy items. Then, ARAM was adopted by Riot, and now receives updates and some balancing mechanics specific to this mode.
0.2 – Why this guide? ARAM has long been seen (and still is, for the most part) as a "fun" or "casual" game mode used for laughing with friends or strangers, testing champions or builds. AND THIS IS TOTALLY OK, you should never flame someone for not having the competitive mentality (or for anything else, basically). This casual playing of ARAM was especially true in the past, when ARAMs were highly unbalanced based on the luck factor. However, there are several reasons why ARAM now goes a bit further than that, which may explain why some people might want to read a guide to progress in ARAM, win the next Clash or even reach high-MMR ARAM.
- ARAM is still LoL, two teams of players in cognitive-motor competition, with losers and winners and therefore a performance system rewarding the fact of being better than the opponent. - ARAM has its own MMR, its own Elo system following a more or less normal law: the more you progress, the more difficult it is to progress - ARAM has its own mechanisms and its own rhythm of play. While there is strategy, tactical mechanics are much more rewarded than strategic ones and thus these reward systems are more quickly implemented: the reward for a good engage at level 6 is much more immediate in ARAM than the reward for farming in 1v1 toplane during 16 minutes on the rift. The dominance of tactical mechanics makes ARAM more like an action game than a MOBA, which are themselves very competitive games.
If there are some guides on the internet for ARAM, they are often very succinct ("x tips to be better in ARAM"), often quite old, and often quite bad because the level at the top of the MMR of ARAM has largely progressed. Hence the idea of this collaborative guide. The goal here is to describe the main mechanisms of ARAM while trying not to make it too dependent on the patch of the moment to avoid making it obsolete too quickly. Feel free to add your comments and ask your questions, and feel free to adapt the content.
0.3 – Who’s talking? Ideally, I would like this guide to become collaborative, so feel free to use its content and / or contact me. In the meantime, I am the sole author. I started playing video games before I could read on Age of Empires 1 and Starcraft. Then I spent my middle school years playing Warcraft3 & DotA as well as Footmen Frenzy and other custom action cards, where I frequently played with some big names of the e-sport scene. On the Rift I didn't feel like persevering any further than D1 because my mechanics were not enough to win easily anymore. I have about 6000 ARAM games under my belt, half of them at medium elo with my friends (so I know that level well too), and half of them at high-MMR ARAM (when whatismymmr was active I was at 3600mmr, 0.01% best players, top ~150 EUW). I change my nickname very regularly, but high level players could meet me under the following nicknames in the last years: Ouroboros, Poildepubix, ZiggyBlake, LionelJospin. English is not my first language, so please excuse the funny sentences.
0.4 – What is high-MMR ARAM? Since it is a different MMR than Rift, there is a top level of ARAM (when whatismymmr was active, it could be considered above 3500, top 500 server). The queue to find a game can be quite long (even though most players are very active), and most players know each other by nickname. These ARAM games are very serious (even if there is sometimes dancing and flashing at the beginning) but cordial: it is very rare that the global chat is used (except for gg wp at the end), as well as the team chat. In fact, the communication is rather latent (a few pings at the most) because everyone knows the game very well. Beyond the game mechanics, the big difference with the mid-level ARAMs of the curve (silver-gold-platinum) is in the team compositions, but we'll come back to that. A good videoe on the history of high elo ARAM :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4ZSTZ7OxaU CHAPTER 1 – UNDERSTANDING ARAM 1.1 – Is ARAM a matter of luck? It's a common saying (especially when one is losing, especially at medium-elo) that the opposing team has had “better luck” with randomly drawn champions. This may have been true (and sometimes still is) in the past, before Riot's balancing. A champion like Sona, for example, at one time had around an 80% WinRate (WR). Today, and even though it's preseason, the WRs range from 57% to 43%, which is obviously still huge. However: ARAM is still a deterministic game in which player action predominates. Give the 5 worst Wrs champs to a high-MMR team, and the 5 highest Wrs champs to an average-MMR team, you can run thousands of games and the result will always be the same: the average elo players will get blown out. Completely subjectively, I would say that 70% of a game is decided by the individual level of the players, 20% by the cohesion of the composition, and 10% by the characters themselves. Obviously, when the two teams are of equal level, the luck parameter exists, but will not reside in some randomly drawn characters, but rather in the overall composition and the possibility of optimization (rolls). The final chance parameter is individual: that each player will get a champion on which they are particularly good at, which brings us to the "champion pool" and team compositions.
1.2 – Does picks matter in ARAM? Yes, yes, yes and yes again. This is a very strong difference that I see when playing at 2000 or 3500 elo. At 3500, players take from the available champions things that "go together", and very often, when a player changes champions, another player will change to fit this new pick. At 2000 elo, everyone takes "individually strong" characters. In ARAM, as in LoL or in real life, a whole is never equal to the simple addition of its components. Ezreal, Tristana and Jinx are very powerful champions in ARAM. But having all 3 in a team will make your teamcomp very bad. There is no such thing as a typical, well-thought-out lineup, since ARAM is all about adaptation: you don't know what you're going to get, and more importantly, you don't know what you're going to face. However, there are compositional patterns that you must, if you wish to progress, learn to recognize in order to optimize them during the champion select. An attempt to describe these patterns is made in Chapter 4. Obviously, in order to optimize your team (and allow your teamates to do the same) you must be generous with your rolls. The more you roll, the more you increase your chances to win the game: not only do you increase the chances to get a character from your pool, but also from the pool of your teammates, but you also allow team adaptation. If you have 2 rolls, you NEED TO REROLLl!
1.3 – Does ARAM require a specific pool of champions? Some ARAM tutorials will tell you to create a special ARAM account where you only unlock champions that are 1) strong in ARAM, and 2) that you are very good at. While this strategy is understandable, I don't think it's the right one because you reduce the ratio of rolls you have. When you have all the champions, you have approximately one roll per game. Also, if you only have your own pool and you play ADC, you are very likely to run into free champions that you don't own (while having few rolls). Similarly, you don't allow your teammates to run into their own comfort picks, or to balance the team composition. It is often better to play a strong character for the team moderately well than to play an unnecessary character for the team very well. Also, I recommend that you play all champions in ARAM at least once or twice, so that you can see their strengths and weaknesses. Lastly, if you stay on confort picks you will not be expanding your pool, and as I just said, it is better to play all champions at the right level (to adapt), rather than a few very good ones. For the same reasons, I don't recommend dodging if you don't have one of your champions. In general and since there is no laning phase, your level on a specific champion has less impact than your overall level and your team synergy: dodging a skillshot works the same way on all champions. What is important is to understand each champion, and therefore you need have all of them in your hands at least once.
1.4 - Does ARAM have a tier list of champions? Sort of. Some champions are generally "good" at ARAM. However, most of them depend on their composition and current patches. An unprotected Kogmaw against a LeBlanc and a Zed will be completely useless, but combined with a tank and a support it will become unstoppable. Some champions will be considered rather bad, but in the right hands and with the right team they will become excellent. A list of ARAM champions is proposed Chapter 5, but this list can change very quickly and require particular builds. A fundamental point to understand in order to progress in ARAM is indeed the adaptation of builds, see (3.4) and (3.10).
1.5 – Does ARAM have technical specificities? Yes, several mechanics of ARAM differ from those of Rift. They can be found on the wiki
https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/ARAM. The main ones to be aware of are 1) 15% damage reduction at 1000+ units of distance, 2) heals on teammates are reduced by 50% (not self heals), 3) some characters are buffed or nerfed on their damages dealt, damages received, healings and shieldings. It was this tricky game of balancing that broke the absolute supremacy of poke +1 healer teams (e.g. ziggs, varus, jayce, xerath, sona), and introduced diversity in the meta. For example, tryndamere was considered a trash tier champ for a very long time. Today, I classify him an A+ tier. All of these differences are indicated by hovering over a character's "Howling abyss" buff, which I encourage you to check regularly. Finally, ARAM has two unique summoner spells: [Clarity] & [Mark], and a few items.
1.6 – Does ARAM have a summoner spell specificity? Yes. First, their cooldown is reduced. As in the Rift, and with rare exceptions, [Flash] is dominant, though its use changes a bit from the Rift as we'll see later (3.2). As for the other summoner spells, they are contextual. [Ghost] is very strong in ARAM as the reset during a long teamfight is delicious. [Heal] (or even [Exhaust] but I don't like it) can be used for ADC, mages and enchanters. On some ADC, I play [Cleanse]. [Ignite] is useless in my opinion. For all other cases, I recommend [Mark]. Personally, I use [Flash] + [Mark] in 90% of my games, and I will explain the strength of [Mark] in section (3.3).
1.7 – Does ARAM have runes specificities? Yes, some runes are way better in ARAM than others, but also way better than they are on the Rift. Because of continuous and long fighting, you want runes with low or no cooldown. Even if this guide tries not to be too much patch specific, I’ll give some examples for S12: in the Precision tree, Lethal tempo and Conqueror are usually better than Press the Attack and Fleet Footwork, because they have no cooldown. Triump is so nerfed that is useless, but Presence of mind is a must have if your champ has some mana. The legends are great, as they will stack easily. In the Domination tree, Electrocute has a lot of cooldown, I’d rather use Dark Harvest as it reset on kills. In the Sorcery tree, Aery is great on enchanters, Arcane Comet on pokers, and Phase rush is contextual. Manaflow is mandatory if you have mana as it will stack quickly. Transcendance is one of the best rune because of the cooldown reset on kills, and finally, Gathering Storm is huge because it stacks faster (you can end up with +48 AD or +80 AP very easily). In the Resolve tree, Grasp is my favorite, because both Aftershock and Guardian have some big cooldown. Then, Conditioning is way better than Bone or Second win, because of the cooldown they have. Finally, Overgrowth, Revitalize and Unflinching are all insanely good.
1.8 – Does ARAM have items specificities? Yes, there are a few ARAM items specificities, but they are clearly not game changing. It has to be noted that Tear of the Goddess and other stacking items will stack faster in ARAM. Corrupting potion does not exist, nor wards or trinkets. Shopping in ARAM is essentially the same as buying equipment on the Rift. Focus on item completion, and when you can't, focus on buying the most expensive single component (a BF rather than a zeal). There are two issues that need to be addressed though, Guardian items and potions. For potions, I strongly advise against the use of red potions (except in the mage starter Lost chapter + two potions), and I rather advise the use of the green reusable potion if it fits in your first purchase. For Guardian items, I strongly recommend the Horn to frontliners, especially if there are a lot of auto-attackers. For Blade, this one varies a bit, a Khazix or a Jayce will benefit greatly from it, as will an aggressive Renekton or a Pyke. For the Orb, I prefer the Lost Chapter starter, which allows to complete the mythic item quickly (if there is a mythic item), but some enchanter will enjoy the Guardian Orb. Finally, the Hammer is a very good starter for an ADC who doesn't need to complete his mythic quickly. It is important to understand that the stats provided by Guardian items are much higher than those provided by standard components. Therefore, if your whole team has bought guardian items and the other team has not, your early game will be much more powerful and you should take advantage of it. On the other hand, you may face a power spike when completing mythical items that should arrive before yours, so you should beware. Itemization is discussed in (3.4).
CHAPTER 2 – ARAM Temporality 2.1 – Champion select The first step, if you have 2 rolls, is to throw a roll (even if you want to take back your first champion quiclky). The second step is to look at the champion that you want to play the most (yes we are here to enjoy ourselves anyway). The third step, if you really want to tryhard, is to ask yourself if your team can be optimized depending on team compositions patterns of Chapter 4. Here are some basic questions which are most of the time applicable during champ select:
- Do you have a roughly balanced mix of AP and AD damage?
- Do you have a roughly balanced mix of DPS, frontlane and support?
- Do you have any synergies to implement (e.g. Orianna or Alistar + Yasuo; Braum + autoattackers; Amumu + Rumble...)
While it is still possible to win (remember, 70% of victory comes from individual mechanics), I would advise against full AD/AP and/or no frontlane and/or no ADC and/or no CC and/or no support. Think of these points as checkboxes, the more you check, the better. It is easier to win with 4 tanks and an ADC than with 4 ADCs and a tank. ADCs are the most popular picks in ARAM, but should be considered like pickles on a burger: if you put one on, it makes everything better, if you put too many on, it's gross. Regarding synergies, look at the patterns (Chapter 4). If I take Irelia and my team only has poke, will I really 1) have fun and 2) be useful? Your team will run away as soon as you try to engage and alone you won't have the means to do anything. Perhaps a Janna or a Braum for counter-engagement is better. On the other hand, if you have a primary engage source on your team, like Alistar, and an ADC who can follow up quickly, like Tristana, then playing Irelia makes sense. Try, during the select field, to imagine your team during combat. Finally, and of course, make your runes and summoner spells according to your character and your team.
2.2 – Loading game Take a look at the composition of the opposing team to adapt your build and playstyle. Obviously, if you see a Blitzcrank or a Pyke, avoid the blind bushes at first. But go into a little more detail: are the enemies predominantly AD or AP? At what dominance? If dominance is over 80% on either side, you should on almost every champion have a defensive item in mind. The resistances value exponentially. If I’m playing melee and if I see that there is a lot of AP damage and I can play a Spirit Visage then I might start my game with a Spectre’s Cowl, which is great in early. If the damage is mixed, I'll start with a Guardian Horn instead. Even as an ADC, if you have 4+ sources of AD damage in front of you, you should consider Tabi (Plated) or even a Randuin. If enemy team is mostly AP, I’ll consider a Malmortius or a Wit's End. But resistances are not your only source of adaptation. If you're playing an ADC like Kalista or Varus, look at what you're going to hit. Tanks with lots of life? You might want to consider an on-hit or critical build. Squishies? Favour the lethality. Playing as a mage, do you need HP% max damage (Liandry ?), or burst (Luden ?), or CC (Everfrost ?). Finally, look at the origins of threats: which spells should I absolutely avoid? Which spells should I wait to see go off before committing myself? For example, if I'm playing Irelia or Sylas against a pantheon, maybe it's better to wait for the Pantheon to cast its stun on my Rell. The important thing here is to be aware of the priority threats. If you are playing in a premade team, it may be important to discuss strategy: should you turtle until level 6? Should you scale as long as possible?
2.3 – Early game Don't forget to dance at the beginning, or even flash in the air to show who the coolkid is, but don't give the first blood for free. Don't sacrifice 4 players to get the first blood. Depending on the compo, try to take good trade, poke, but above all, privilege the push. It is essential to push the first wave as soon as possible, but also the following ones. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK UNDER YOUR TOWER. There are several reasons for this: 1) you want to keep your tower alive, and being under your tower allows enemies and minions to damage it, and 2) it is much harder to fight when there is a wave of enemy creeps between you and your targets because they will block the skillshot (and the Mark) in addition of attacking you, 3) you lose the vision on the bushes, leaving this privilege to the opponents, 4) you lose the psychological ascendancy, 5) you will have the level 6 after your opponents, which constitutes the biggest power spike of ARAM, and finally 6) you give access to the enemies to your relic of health, or even lose access to it. The first few waves will largely decide the dynamics of the game: it's much easier to push when you already have pushed, so fight for push. Keep an eye on level 6s (if you have them before, engage, if not, run away), as well as healing relics.
2.4 – Mid game We won't lie, the middle of the game in ARAM becomes a more or less organized mess, even at high level (I'm talking about soloq): you run to defend a tower, you die defending it, your team regains a 4v3 advantage, then dies... The important thing is to know your priorities: do you have a better scaling than the other team? If yes, you can play defensive. If not, play aggro: push and dive if needed. As soon as you are in range of the tower, ATTACK IT! This is a mistake I see all the time at low elo, mages or ADCs in range of the tower wont attack it for fear of putting themselves in danger, yet small nibbles can make a fundamental difference. If your team relies heavily on level 6s, (e.g. Amumu, Swain, Kennen...), do not hesitate to switch from aggressive to passive. If you want to win, and with rare exceptions, you should die as little as possible. Not only will you not be there to push and thus nibble the towers, but you will also lose gold and experience, and give some to your opponent. It is somehow less visible than in Rift, but snowball in ARAM is very real. Gold and passive experience gains on minions is not negligible, but especially from kills. For that, keep the mental! At low elo I see players trying and trying the same thing without success, dying repeatidly. Indeed, inhibiting your desire to run with predator Singed is a little less fun for 90 seconds, but you'll have more fun waiting for the R of your Amumu than dying alone, feeding the opponent team and triggering a teamfight in 4v5. Once you are 2 levels and 2000 gold behind and in ARAM, it's over for you (and probably your team). In midgame I also advise against giving yourself to the opposing team when you don't have many hit points left: usually the opponents will take risk to finish you off, and even if you die the enemies will put themselves in danger for that, leaving your teammates with extra kills. If you give yourself up, the result is the same, but for free. The exception is if you manage to get yourself executed.
2.5 – End Game At the end of the game, the resource to manage is time: it is important to know when a death is potentially the last one and to estimate the respawn times. If you die in the middle of the map while messing around and leaving your team 4v5 when there is only one tower left, you will most likely be too late for the last teamfight or join it when its already well underway. If you have to die, make sure that others can defend, or that you are far enough into the enemy base to give you time to respawn while they are walking to your nexus. To reduce your travel time (and increase the travel time of your opponents), it is essential to take the opponent's inhibitor. When you have an advantage, don't kill the minions or even mega minions, and go and take the inhibitor before dying on the opponent's towers (or by doing maximum damage to the opponent champs and structures). At the end of a teamfight, choose your strategy: reset or not? If reset, run straight to do a maximum of damage (structures or champions) to the opponent before dying as fast as possible. If you want to stay alive for the next fight, don't put yourself in unnecessary danger to go along your minions: everyone is respawning, but the enemy team is much closer to you than your own team. You’ll end up being surprised by a [Mark] or a [Ghost] and die, getting out of sync and putting your team in serious danger of having to fight 5v4. If you have ace the opposing team, and you can't finish, I still advise you to reset by doing maximum damage to the towers or champions, because if you are a survivor of a teamfight you probably have some gold in your pocket that is worth spending. But don’t hesitate, time is precious.
CHAPTER 3 – ARAM mindset 3.1 – Death Death is a part of life, especially in ARAM, but one must learn to die properly. The mentality to have is to consider that you are still alive until the end, even when you are doomed. The two skillshots you avoid at 75HP will make you live one second longer, which can be enough to make the difference for your teammates. On the other hand, it is important to know when you are doomed to die. In this case, you need to think about 1) inflicting as much damage as possible on champions and/or structures, and 2) buying as much time as possible for your team, especially at the end of the game. If you can choose, kite towards the opponent's base and not your own: the path to be covered for the opponents to come and attack your nexus after having killed you will be twice as long. Finally, and sometimes, you will be condemned because of a Mark projectile (see 3.3) that will have hit you (for example a Neeko). In this case, it is advisable to approach the opposing team and move away from your own team, so as not to condemn them too.
3.2 – Flash This is an important mistake coming from the Rift that I see very often at medium elo and which consists in using [Flash] to save yourself from a certain death around 50HP: not only do you burn your [Flash], but you also become useless for the next fight because you have no HP left. Inhibit this reflex, and die with dignity by inflicting as much damage as possible (see 3.1). You will have your flash for the next fight where you will have 100% HP and where it will be decisive, either to engage or to replace yourself. Obviously, if it is a decisive teamfight, use your flash to reposition yourself, engage, finish off a wounded person, etc. An exception to this rule that is worth mentioning is when your death might trigger a potentially dangerous reset for your whole team: [R] from Pyke, [P] from Katarina or Master Yi, [W] from Tristana, [R] from Vex.
3.3 – Mark The use of [Mark] is what turn an average player into a good ARAM player, and it is mandatory if you want to progress. [Mark] is a projectile (which can hit minions and does not stop anti-projectile spells like Yasuo), which will inflict raw damage and will give true vision on the target. If it hits, it can be reactivated to dash towards the target, inflicting raw damage while being untargetable on the way. The cooldown of [Mark] is substantial (45 seconds), and at high level it is advisable to wait for a CC or to aim at a minion to ensure its success as it is easily dodgeable. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TRY TO AVOID AN OPPONENT'S MARK. If you are a tank, this may not seem like a big deal to you, but it can mean the death of your ADC: if you are Renekton and while playing Zed I put a mark on you, I can assure you that you will not have enough reaction/animation time to stun me before I [R] and kill your ADC. Needless to say, an Amumu or Kennen mark is particularly formidable, and you will have to sacrifice yourself in this case to avoid bringing a devastating engage on your team (see 3.1). If the primary use of the Mark is to allow melee champions to engage, it has many other uses:
- to reposition yourself by using [Mark] on a minion
- to force the opponent to reposition himself by throwing a mark in his direction
- to reveal invisible champions (Akali, Khazix, Twitch...)
- to throw fast combos. For example, with Lissandra you can hit [Mark], throw a claw [E] back, reactivate [Mark], throw [W] and [Q] then [E] to come back on your claw. With Zed, you can hit [Mark], throw your shadow [W] back, reactivate [Mark], throw [E] and [Q] and auto-attack, then use [W] to come back on your shadow. With Alistar, you can hit [Mark] reactivate, press [Q] to go behind your target, and [W] into your team. [Mark] can also be used to extend the range of a [Q] from Zoe.
- to avoid a skillshot (you can pass through Ashe's [R] during [Mark] reactivation, you won't be CC'd)
- to avoid damage (you can avoid Karthus' [R] by timing [Mark] correctly).
Remember that [Mark] has a big cooldown and allows invulnerability. For example, when playing Khazix, if I have to kill an Ezreal, I will first jump with [E] and land [Mark]. But Ezreal will dash away, and the enemy Braum will throw his [R] at me. At that moment, I reactivate [Mark]: this way, I end up on Ezreal without being CC. If I had done the opposite, that is to say first [Mark] and [Mark] on Ezreal and then the jump to follow his dash, I would probably have eaten Braum's CC during the jump and be stuck with a big mustache dude. Don’t spam [Mark], 45 seconds is a very long time in ARAM.
3.4 – Itemization Itemization is very patch dependent, so I’d rather not cover it in too much details in this guide (in addition there are several new items when this guide is written). Of course, many builds are similar to those of the Rift. Keep in mind that there is no perfect build for a champion as it really depends on your team and the enemy team: you should think before buying. Just as runes, in ARAM I have a preference for item without cooldown: an Immortal Shieldbow might trigger because of some non-lethal poke damage that you would have healed through lifesteal, and yet it will not be available for the next big teamfight. Some champs have “ARAM specific” itemization, like AP Miss Fortune, AP Nasus, spam-arrows Ashe, full AP Kaisa, AP Shivanna. AP Maokai. These build are, in my opinion, most of the time trash tier, even if they can somehow work in the right composition. They are very popular especially at low elo because it is very easy to deal damage with them (you basically only have 1 button that you are spamming). But they wont win the game against a dive compo or a front-to-back compo, and I think they are boring to play (and to play gainst). A stacking tanky Nasus is so much more useful than a little shy dog using one [E] every 10 seconds for damage over time that will be healed up by lifesteal or shields. Of course, if you have no source of AP damage in a tank battle, you should consider building your Nasus with a Liandry and a Demonic Embrace. Other than that, builds that work very well on fightebruiser are sustain oriented with a Conqueror (Divine or Goredrinker, Death’s Dance, Ravenous Hydra, Spirit Visage…), while tank/offtank itemization are usually HP oriented with a Grasp (Heartsteel, Titanic, Sunfire, Demonic Embrace, Gargoyle…). Supports also have to think a lot about their itemization: are the fights going to last? Buy Moonstone. Is your team poking a lot? Buy Imperial Mandate. Do you want to hard engage or kite? Buy Shurelya. Do you need to survive huge burst? Buy Locket.
3.5 – Teamfights tactics Except for what has been said earlier in this chapter about Death (3.1), Flash (3.2) and Mark (3.3), as well as in the previous chapter about the temporality of ARAM (2.5), the tactics of teamfights are very similar to those of the Rift. If you are not familiar with concepts such as kiting and peeling, it is essential to learn about them. You and your team must identify the primary targets in the opposing team (see 3.9), but also evaluate the strategy (front to back?). You have to identify the role of each of your teammates (as Lulu, is it better to save Talon who just used his whole combo or Vayne?), and don't hesitate to die for your team or to save a teammate (a Darius with a charged conqueror and a charged [P] will be much more interesting to keep alive than an Amumu who has already used his Aftershock and his [R]). Of course you have to evaluate your role: Engage? Follow up? Support? Let's imagine a more or less random composition Zac, Irelia, Lucian, Vlad, Jinx. It will obviously be Zac who starts the fight, followed closely by Irelia and Vlad, allowing Lucian and Nami to do damage without putting themselves in danger. The death order should coincide: first Zac, then Irelia and/or Vlad, and finally (if the teamfight is lost) Nami then Jinx. It would not be out of the ordinary, if the teamfight goes very badly, for a mage with waveclear like Anivia to decide to back off to defend. Learn from your mistakes, your role is not fixed during the game! A Renekton can be a very good engage in early, but may be more useful later to protect a Vayne with his W from an Ekko full AP who is after him. If a teamfight goes wrong for no apparent reason, analyze the situation and try to change.
3.6 – Sustain & anti-sustain. Although it is impossible to heal yourself in ARAM from the base, there are several ways to heal yourself out of combat. The first one is obviously the green potion and the HP regeneration (the Warmog can be very useful against a poke composition, and not only on tanks). It is also possible to use spells like Nami and Sona's [W], items like Redemption, health relics (ping and wait for your teammates before taking them) and finally to use Lifesteal or Omnivamp on minions. If one of your teammates has lifesteal and is slow, let him attack those minions for God's sake! As for sustain in combat, it can quickly become problematic (a Vladimir, an Aatrox, a red Kayn...). You have to choose who will be the anti heal carrier(s), some are good carriers (Brand because he applies it for a while in AOE), other are bad carriers (Vayne, because she is a solo-target). Don't wait until the end of the game for this, many teamfights will be lost long before that and will lead to snowball. A very good solution is a support with Moonstone like Sona or Nami who carry the enchanter anti heal of Chemtech Putrifier. If you are playing ADC and one of the tanks has Brumble Vest, it may be relevant to think about not attacking him in important moments.
3.7 – Psychological domination This is probably one of the most important points of ARAM and the one that irritates me the most: not trying to take the psychological advantage over the other team. If we have to remind it, ARAM is a terran game, one base on each side, the goal being to destroy it. Beyond pushing the waves of minions, it is therefore important to try to get ahead and not give up ground unnecessarily. An ARAM team should be like a Greek hoplite phallanx: everyone holds his rank and place, and if that rank and place crumbles, everyone is at risk. You will always be at a disadvantage in ARAM if you are running away or retreating (with a few exceptions for compositions based on counter-engage and kiting, but the retreat must be quick and only caused by the engage). If you are playing Sejuani, you don't have to retreat just because the Malphite in front of you has his [R] ready and seems to be moving towards your team. You have to stand firm against him, and also look for an opportunity to engage the other team. At low elo, I find myself ahead of all my teammates on almost all my champions even Draven or Nami, because the risk I take in doing so is less important than the benefit I get from the psychological ascendancy and the opportunity of dealing damage / landing CC. By playing passively to the rear, not only do you lose ground, but above all you close off any possibility of finding an opportunity, a window on the backline or a good [Mark] on a priority target. That's why I always advise having at least one or even two frontliners on a team, because if you only have distance champs, everyone is going to want to get behind everyone else, and you're going to play backwards all the time. Think of it as a Nunu [W] snowball. If everyone backs up, everyone gets it and the teamfight is over. If someone gets in front and decides to hold on, at least you'll be able to fight. Of course it is sometimes (often) necessary to use the tower to defend the line. But even in this case, everyone should be in their place looking for an opportunity, not 50 meters behind the tower waiting for it to fall. In short, it is necessary to find a middle ground of risk taking (3.8).
3.8 – Risk taking ARAM is a delicate art of risk assessment. Should you reactivate this [Mark] to go finish off this Nami and get the First Blood? Only if you are sure you can get it before you die. Should you 5 men dive the opponent's composition under their turret in early game? Most likely not, unless you have a big advantage and no distance to attack the tower. Do you have to 3 men dive this Anivia alone under the tower? Most probably, because she can waveclear several waves by herself. The risk taking evolves differently depending on your composition and the pace of the game. If you have a late game combo (Vayne, Fiora, Kayle, Graves, Nasus, Jinx...) it is strongly advised not to take any risk to avoid being snowballed on early. If you have an early compo (Lee Sin, Renekton, Blitzcrank, Pyke...), it is rather advised to take risks to start a snowball. If you have the numerical superiority, it is strongly advised to take risks, and if you have the inferiority, not. A common cause of snowballing is that members of the dominated team will take risks to finish off injured players, even at 1 or 2 versus 5 players. This is a very common mistake, even at high levels, because everyone wants the gold for themselves. However, it tends to widen the gap because it often fails, or it takes several individual deaths to finish off a full team champion, increasing the gold difference and the possession of the field (and thus the gold reward of the tower). At the end of the game, if you are dominated in teamfight you have to take risks otherwise, for example when you see an isolated target a little bit unsynchronized. I have seen many games being stolen by a losing team because they were able to successfully reach (Flash + Mark) an isolated important target or engage a 2v4 before respawning.
3.9 – Focus Three huge errors I see at low elo about focusing: I) no focus, ii) too much focus, iii) wrong focus. No focus is just splitting damage between all the enemis, which is why champions like Blitzcrank are really strong at low elo: they force all the team to focus the same enemy. Too much focus is trying too hard to focus the impossible to get ADC, for example an Ezreal protected by a Lulu. While you are trying to reach him, you are not dealing damage. Playing front to back is OK, you’ll get the Ezreal later with a good [Mark]. And finally, wrong focus usually comes when people are trying too hard to focus the ADC, because that’s what they have been taught in LoL. Actually, you want to focus the strongest threat that is accessible. Contrary to what you can read in all chat “focus the support much, eh??”, a Lulu, a Sona or a Nami are perfectly good target for primary focus: they are very strong in teamfights, they are squishy and they are immobile. A Zed diving into your backline is also a perfectly fine primary target. Another important thing is that at low elo, the level of players vary a lot in the same team. If I see a very good player on Fiora or Darius and an okayish Caitlyn, maybe I’d rather focus the good player. One tip is to look at who has the kills, because gold rewards from assists are usually 30-40gold, while a kill is 180+. Sometimes it is just better to focus the one with the gold or the good player rather than the ADC.
3.10 Role adaptation In order to have a good composition, some champions can adapt their role. As mentioned in (3.4), Nasus can, for example, build AP if there are no other source of AP damage and there are some tanks that require a Liandry and a Demonic. Most of the time though damage is not the problem in ARAM, as damage dealer champions are very popular. What you will lack is utility and durability. At high-MMR ARAM, many Lux that you will see will be built and played as a support, buying Moonstone or Shurelya, Chemteck Putrifier and Redemption. This is because Lux damage are really nerfed, and most of the time an enchanter is more valuable than a low poke champ. Lee sin is another example, even though enchanter Lee Sin is harder to pull off. Annie can be a decent enchanteutility. Gragas might be a full AP source of damage, or an insanely strong tank and engager. Jarvan IV might be a violent assassin, a strong tank to engage and CC, or a durable fighter dealing damage. Lulu or Twisted Fate sometimes end up being ADC when there is no available ADC. Even champs like Yasuo, Tryndamere, Camille, Darius, Elise, Katarina, Lee Sin, Kassadin, Galio etc will sometimes end up being built full tank and playing the role. Remember: the whole is not a simple addition of its part.
