You need to be level 3 to play ARAM (All Random All Mid) in League of Legends.
ARAM is a popular game mode played on the Howling Abyss map, where players are given a random champion and battle it out in a single lane. It's known for its fast-paced action and constant teamfights, making it a great way to learn new champions and practice team combat without the complexity of a full Summoner's Rift match.
Unlocking Game Modes in League of Legends
As you play and gain experience in League of Legends, different game modes become available. Here's a quick overview of when you can access various modes:
| Game Mode | Required Level | Additional Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| ARAM 5v5 Howling Abyss | Level 3 | None |
| Practice Tool | Level 9 | None |
| Normal 5v5 Summoner's Rift (Draft) | Level 10 | At least 20 champions available |
Getting Started with ARAM
Once you hit level 3, you can easily queue up for an ARAM match. Here are a few tips for new ARAM players:
- Embrace the Randomness: ARAM's core mechanic is the random champion selection. This forces you to adapt and learn champions you might not normally play, which can significantly broaden your understanding of the game.
- Rerolls: You get a limited number of rerolls to swap out your champion if you don't like what you got. These accumulate over time.
- Team Composition: While champions are random, try to understand your team's overall composition. Does your team have enough damage, tanks, or healing?
- No Retreats: The Howling Abyss map is a single lane, and there's no going back to base to buy items or heal unless you die. This makes every decision about engaging or retreating critical.
Playing ARAM is an excellent way to familiarize yourself with different champion kits and enhance your teamfighting skills in a less structured environment than the Summoner's Rift.
