User blog comment:Supp0rt4n00bz/Broken ARAM is broken! (Part I)/@comment-6906412-20130729212016

1) Sure, AoE is harder to avoid, but that's kind of the fun of using heal/barrier baits to have an enemy overcommit when their AoE is on CD.

2/3) Orb of Winter now exists. Also why Malphite is OP on ARAM. Supports with heals are OP on ARAM as well.

4) Totally off. Vayne shouldn't be needing to condemn since it is most likely one of her teammates will have the necessary CC to set up fights or kills. ARAM is one big, really extended teamfight. Vayne thrives in teamfights when managed properly. Duelists do the same thing they do in teamfights in normal games, which is ASSASSINATE one person (usually a carry). Also, I've seen many a 5v5 fight end up as 1v1 duels.

5) Early win = late win? Not even close. The passive gold gain basically nullifies kill gold advantages so each side has basically equal items at all times, and I've both seen and made comebacks from situations as bad as 2 nexus towers down vs enemy outer tower down.
