EDIT1: For those who don't know, ARAM is All Random All Middle, though the All Middle is irrelevant in Proving Grounds. About proving grounds...look at the top of general discussion to see the Riot thread about it. ARAM is a mode with high speed action, high kill/death numbers, reaction speeds, and very different play mechanics than normal. Healing is sparse, you can only buy on death, and there is no going back to base. It's very fun.
EDIT2: This isn't about ranked, it's about simple matchmaking to make getting into a game easier and prevent people from DODGING because they don't like their pick.
EDIT3: /sign the thing! It's more petition-like and bumps the thread
EDIT4: Let's get this past 1k votes...that should send a good message.
EDIT5: We're way past 1k, it's pretty clear a large body of players want to see this happen! C'mon Riot, what do you think? Can you sneak this in an upcoming patch for us? This is a game mode that will definitely be heavily played!
EDIT6: 2k+ votes for making this happen! Keep em comin...@Riot, any official word as to if you will make this happen? The people want it!
EDIT7: 3k on to 4k, 1k up votes, just give us a bone here Riot. All I ask is a simple "Y" for you are looking into and or implementing this, or a "N" if it isn't even on radar. What do you think? Dodging is rampant in ARAM! It really is sad.
EDIT8: Fyi...we want our turrets back!

4) Provides more IP per win/loss than currently playing custom games yields
EDIT9: What I have below is just a fraction of the mind of this community...we're still waiting for this, Riot, or at least some word.

Also, not getting any IP for playing half the time kinda sucks.
With all that being said - WTB ASAP. +1

Just one thing guys you can still have fun without feeding and throwing the game for no reason.

Also the IP gains just add the the frustration. Why is there no responses here by a red with actual content?

As the dude who led up getting the map out from the design side, seeing all this support is awesome. <3
I'll poke around in the office about this again. Making a new queue isn't a trivial task since there are a lot of moving pieces (load testing, player stats, matchmaking rules, etc.), but a thread this size makes arguing for the necessary resources a lot easier.

I guess I will also poke around on the engineering side to get this prioritized. The creation of ARAM originally has been a PuG during a programming contest at Riot, few Rioters just decided to form a group to make an ARAM map and then add it to the custom game. Adding ARAM to the matchmaking queue requires a little more work, but once (game) design approves the concept any platform engineer can do it within a reasonable time. Then it will go though QA, release, etc...
