Hmm...After playing a lot of ARAM lately, I'd like to put in my 2 cents.

1) Twisted Fate:

He simply has all the hallmarks of a really annoying ARAM champ. Massive range poke: check. Built-in mana sustain: check. Great cc: check. Hell, he even has built-in CDR to spam those pokes for longer. And don't even get me started on his ultimate...although it may appear less useful than on SR, the fact that low health players can no longer hide behind bushes or their team-mates makes him extremely deadly.

2) Thresh:

A champion that can get very tanky over time while providing a lot of cc and utility to the team. Plus, he's ranged which always helps. Nothing much else to say about him.

3) Master Yi:

I'm really surprised he isn't on your "banned" list, because AP Yi is absolutely broken on ARAM. He hits like a monster truck and if he ever gets low he can run away, heal back up, and rejoin the fight seconds later.

4) Varus:

Again, he just brings so much to a fight. Because fights are so clustered, he can easily hit multiple people with his pokes, not to mention his absolutely game-changing ulti. I was going to put Twitch for the role of ADC, but I feel that he is a bit more difficult to position and play compared to Varus (even though Twitch's damage payoff is higher). Overall, Varus is a stable and consistent ADC pick for ARAM.

5) Janna:

I was thinking of a possibly tanky champion to round out the list, but when I considered the team comp, I had to call-out Janna. She can be built in a wide variety of ways, from glass-cannon AP, to tanky AP support. Hell, I've even seen AD Janna work in ARAM (dat shield). Her ult is just great and even though it doesn't necessarily synergize with Varus' AoEs, it can be used as a safe disengage if the fight goes wrong (she can also use it to sustain her teammates back to full health after an engage). Her versatility is unmatched on ARAM.

There are a lot of other great picks on ARAM (Alistar, Lulu, Sona, Rumble, etc), but this would be my ideal team.
