Ranged Supremacy is getting out of hand

I will keep it short, out of the 15 most picked champions in Mayhem (according to https://www.metasrc.com/de/lol/mayhem/tier-list), 14 of them are ranged, with 9 of them being marksmen.

IMO, this ruins the whole point of ARAM Mayhem, which is to have chaotic fun. When I have to sit under tower and twirl my thumbs for 15 minutes before I get to play my champion and interact with the enemy team, it makes me question why I even queued up in the first place.

This post is not about winning, it's about having fun. Even if I win after scaling up, the whole game was still a miserable experience. Currently, there is a similar problem in Arena with ADCs being by far the most consistent and having BY FAR the best augments.

I can imagine this is a difficult problem to fix because the ADC player base also needs to have fun, and being nerfed is never fun.

3v3 Arena made the adc/support problem worse

Ever since 3v3 release, most non bravery teams i play against are adc + enchanter + tank, and tbh its just kinda unfair and unfun to play against, adcs are already the most op class on their own, (at least the one with the most consistant highrolls and most potential), adding a support and a tank to peel just makes the game miserable. They should just remove adc in general. /J

On a more serious note i think this could be a real problem for the long term popularits of arena, you cant keep players engaged and having fun when every game they are facing the same few teamcomps. Im not a game designer but i imagen its also a difficult problem to tackle, since you dont wanna dissapoint the adc playerbase.

TLDR: I think right now arena is at its least playable state that it has ever been in (still better than soloQ) most because soo many different augments make adcs crazy overpowered, and there is an overwhelming amount of adc + support comps beeing played

Prismatic egg / shareholder shard interaction is kinda dumb

In case you didnt know, item based augments (prismatic egg, golden spatula) lock out out of getting shareholder, leaving one asking, why?
There are several posts on this toppic already on this sub and the most common argument for riot removing this is "it would be to op as a combo with items", but thats literally not an argument, since you get a free prismatic item anyways. So it doenst prevent any broken/unintended interactions. Another talking point is that since riot buffed stats, (increasing the range to 100% and letting it be upgraded even further) they had to nerf it somehow, but then why remove the synergie with the few augments that give items instead of just lowering the stats anvils give or decreasing the shareholder chance?
We all know that Riots devs and balancing team work in mysterious ways, but that just seems like bad game design removing those fun synergies.
Arena (and aram mayhem for that matter) are casino games, (ofc there is a lot of skill involved stfu) where the most fun happen when someone either gets crazy lucky or crazy unlucky, and when you are not taking the game too serious. IMO the unability to get shareholder with item augments lowers the highs and brings the lows up, resulting in a more dull and boring experience.

ps: i didnt proofread any of this so please excuse any bad grammar/spelling :)

Sacred three Treasures is OP

Short rant here:
Quest: Three sacred Treasures is the single stronges augment in the game, there are few augment i consider "auto-wins" but this one is truly a cheatcode to first place. I wish we could view augment winrates but i bet this one has a first place rate above 70%. Once completed you oneshot squishies and with enough as you melt tanks. There is no way this is deserving of a gold augment. Back in the day it used to require twilights edge, which made it somewhat balanced, since you could not garantee getting it, but now, with it only needing normal items, the Augments powerlevel has gone through the roof.
What do you guys think?
