If every brawl is going to be ARAM, fix ARAM.

ARAM isn't a "balanced" mode by any means, but Blizzard has taken some extraordinary steps to make it feel more level - including removing Chromie and Azmodan from the hero pool entirely.

Blizzard has even taken the step of insuring that, if one team gets no supports during the hero selection phase, that the other team will also not have a support option*

....*So why then can we be in situations where the only potential healing option one team is afforded is Tassadar (not a true support, and this is even acknowledged within the new hero system), while the other team gets, say, Whitemane?

This is a game that is, in most cases, lost at the hero select phase, through no fault of the player's "bad choices."

It feels arbitrary. People say "it's just brawl," but that sounds a lot like a justification for a negative game experience in a mode blizzard has been quite active in trying to tweak the game.

Can't we make this very simple? If one team is offered a true support (according to the new system), the other team is as well. Easy.
