In the fast-paced, chaotic world of League of Legends’ ARAM (All Random All Mid), sometimes things don’t go as planned. One of the most frustrating scenarios is having a teammate disconnect early, leaving you and your team at a significant disadvantage. Fortunately, Riot Games has implemented a remake system to address this issue. In ARAM, you can initiate a remake vote if a player is inactive/AFK for a certain period of time, typically around 90 seconds, when the clock hits the 3-minute mark. If this occurs, the affected team will immediately enter a remake vote for the next 30 seconds. This allows you to surrender the game without penalty, effectively ending it in a tie.

Understanding the ARAM Remake Rule

The ARAM remake rule is designed to mitigate the impact of early disconnects or inactivity. It provides a safety net for players who would otherwise be forced to play out a drastically unbalanced game. Unlike Summoner’s Rift, where you can manually type /remake to initiate a vote, ARAM automates the process. Once the system detects a player as being AFK for the required duration, it triggers a remake vote, giving the remaining teammates a chance to end the game cleanly.

How the Remake System Works

The core functionality of the ARAM remake system is simple:

Inactivity Detection: The game monitors players’ activity levels from the start of the match.
Time Threshold: If a player is determined to be inactive/AFK for approximately 90 seconds by the 3-minute mark, the system is activated.
Automatic Vote Initiation: The affected team is presented with a remake vote window for 30 seconds.
Voting: Teammates can vote “Yes” to remake or “No” to continue the game.
Remake Success: If a majority of the active players vote “Yes” (typically two out of four players), the game ends in a tie.

Consequences of Remaking

The primary benefit of remaking is that it prevents the remaining players from being penalized for a game that is essentially unwinnable due to a missing player. Here’s a breakdown of the consequences:

Active Players: You will neither gain nor lose LP, BE, or XP. The game will not count as a win or a loss on your record.
Inactive Player: The disconnected/AFK player will receive the full penalties for leaving a game, including an LP loss, potential demotion, and possible queue restrictions.

Important Considerations

While the ARAM remake system is beneficial, there are a few important things to keep in mind:

Timing is Critical: The remake opportunity is only available within a specific timeframe – roughly between the 3-minute and 3:30-minute marks.
Vote Requirement: A majority of the remaining active players must vote to remake for the vote to succeed.
No First Blood: A First Blood against the disconnected player’s team should not have occurred before they disconnect for the remake option to appear.

ARAM Remake: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Here are some frequently asked questions to help clarify the nuances of remaking in ARAM:

How long does a player have to be AFK to trigger a remake in ARAM? A player needs to be inactive/AFK for approximately 90 seconds by the 3-minute mark to trigger a remake vote.
Does the remake system work in all game modes of League of Legends? No, while the basic remake system exists in Summoner’s Rift, the ARAM implementation is slightly different. The manual /remake command is not available in ARAM; the system handles it automatically.
What happens if the AFK player reconnects before the remake vote is complete? If the AFK player reconnects and becomes active before the remake vote concludes, the remake vote will likely be canceled, and the game will continue as normal.
How many votes are needed to successfully remake in ARAM? A majority of the active players (typically two out of four) need to vote “Yes” to remake the game.
If I’m in a premade group, does that affect the remake process? Yes, If the inactive players (and Diamond IV and above players in their premade) are punished, they will receive a full loss on their record, along with LP loss and potential queue restrictions.
Will I lose LP if I vote to remake? No, active players who vote to remake will not lose LP. Only the disconnected player will be penalized.
Does remaking affect my MMR? Remaking does not affect the MMR of the connected players. However, the disconnected player’s MMR may be negatively impacted due to the penalties they receive. More information about MMR can be found at the Games Learning Society website: https://www.gameslearningsociety.org/.
What happens if I’m in my promotion series and the game is remade? If you remake a game in your promotion series, it will not count as a loss. However, the disconnected player will lose one game towards their promo series.
Can I report the AFK player after the game has been remade? Yes, you can and should report the AFK player after the game has been remade. This helps Riot identify and address players who are consistently leaving games.
Is there a limit to how many times a player can AFK without facing severe penalties? Riot’s LeaverBuster system is designed to detect and penalize players who frequently leave games. Repeated offenses will result in increasingly severe penalties, including queue restrictions and potentially permanent bans.
If the First Blood occurs against the disconnected player’s team, can we still remake? No, the remake option is not available if First Blood has occurred against the disconnected player’s team before the 3-minute mark.
How early can you remake League? The game needs to determine that a player is disconnected or inactive for 90 seconds. For example, If a player hits 90 seconds of inactivity at 2:45, their team will have until 3:15 to type /remake.
Does remake work in unrated? One can only remake in Competitive and Unrated matches as this feature is unavailable for Deathmatch and Spike Rush in Valorant.
Why did I lose LP for remake? If you’re the inactive player in a match, you’ll receive the following penalties: A loss on your record; if you were in a promo series, you’ll lose one game towards it. LP loss, just as though you’d lost the match.
What makes a remake a remake? A remake is a video game closely adapted from an earlier title, usually for the purpose of modernizing a game with updated graphics for newer hardware and gameplay for contemporary audiences.

Final Thoughts

The ARAM remake system is a crucial component of League of Legends, designed to improve the overall player experience. By allowing teams to quickly and painlessly end games affected by early disconnects, it prevents unnecessary frustration and wasted time. Understanding the rules and nuances of the remake system ensures that you can effectively utilize this feature when needed, maintaining a positive and competitive environment in the Howling Abyss. Remember to play fair, stay connected, and report those who don’t!
