That sort of solves the mine field problem, provided you're alive and in a position to safely clear the mine field, but a good Teemo drops -2-3 shrooms in combat and kites you to death.

eh still dies to ranged and anyone with good gap closers, there is a reason Teemo isn't known for his teamfighting.
I just had a team of Kass (me), Yi, Diana, Taric, Alistar. I was like finally, a team with some front line.....
say hello to pure AP Alistar and pure AP taric, gotta get that lichbane cuz its so strong. They both went about 2-14 and we of course lost

Teemo doesn't die to ranged, he counters ranged. I feel like someone just told me that scissors beats rock in RPS.

I said ranged not AD carries, you cant shroom kite veigar. He only does well against ranged AD 1v1 anyway....when there are 3 AD's he goes down fast as he's outdamaged and outranged.

You are literally the first person I've ever seen used ranged to refer to anything other than AD carries.

Curious, which team would you prefer to be on: Darius, Lee, Blitz, Jayce, Kennen or Ahri, Lux, Zyra, Kayle, Ryze?

The AD Team. Autoattacks have no CD, and most of those guys are inherently tankier (sure, not compared to Ryze but still). Also, I feel like while it's easier to itemize Armor, the more AP team would have to sacrifice damage more than the AD one.

Also, Kennen and Blitz can deal alot of AP damage, so it's kinda hard to itemize defense for the first team - whereas for the second team you just build MR and are good to go. Yeah, Kayle does AD as well, but you negate at least half the damage there.
Oh and i'd prefer to play Blitz. Because awesome. He makes me feel like a troll, everytime i successful grab someone.

The first team, any day. Team two only has Ryze who really gets tanky without sacrifices and is too easily countered if there's a Bulwark and some other MR on the other team. Team one has fairly diversified damage and also Darius/Blitz, who can afford to build Bulwark/Locket respectively without losing too much damage.
Team one has better poke (Jayce+Kennen/Lee > Lux/Zyra imo) and will force team two to camp underneath their turret due to the threat of Acceleration Gate + Blitz/Darius pulls and Lee Sin burst, if a target is isolated. Jayce and Kennen should be able to take down towers fairly comfortably, considering Blitz threatens Ryze, Kayle and Ahri, while Lux and Zyra poke is fairly easy to predict/dodge and will probably rather be used to clear waves.
The big advantage team two has is ultimates. An all-in at six will probably devastate team one - there's no MR yet, Stranglethorns is as good as undodgeable on Howling Abyss, setting up Ahri and Lux for easy nuke/cc chains, and only Darius and Lee Sin ults really work without items - and Lee Sin will probably have to kick Ryze away to prevent him mowing down the team. If team one anticipates the all-in and disengages, or manages to blow defensive Kayle/Ahri ults, they're fairly set for the game - if they get rolled at six, the game will either go very long or team two gets an advantage big enough to end the game by minute 15.

Thanks guys was interested in your thoughts. Both seemed to have pros and cons. One player made a comment about how it was obvious from the start who would win... I thought it was much closer than that
|
In a normal game the second comp is better IMO because they can avoid fights except when they have Kayle ult up, but in ARAM the first team wins.
|
Sejuani/Orianna/Kennen a pretty fearsome wombo combo. Scored multiple aces in under 2s with me as Sejuani charging in and ulting their team with the ball on me for a 5-man Shockwave + Kennen ulting on top. And we thought we were fucked because it was us + Shaco/Teemo vs a Lux/Jayce/Karthus/Soraka/Jax. Luckily their Jayce didn't even know you could shoot his Q through gates.

For those new to aram:
You can herd the poros back to your fountain, where they will become targetable. You can then kill them (they give 4 base gold and some xp). You can then get back to lane before a single enemy minion dies, giving your team the advantage.
The more you know
+ Show Spoiler +tryharding and arams are about as bad a combination as drinking and driving :o

yep, the highest high level ARAM teams run Zilean/TF/GP/Ashe to establish an insurmountable lead from poro farming

my friend and i had an argument over which was the better team, assuming high level of undertanding of aram / tournament level play.
