I can't tell you the amount of times i get people that just don't bother to connect / play the game with 0 items in base and my team is forced to sit there until the surrender vote. I'm not sure why this was put in SR but not in ARAM? I don't see how it would be a negative impact on the game if someone literally doesn't join or connect.

While the guaranteed loss is quite annoying, as someone that plays ARAM's I'd be even more annoyed with remakes. Sometimes you just want to play the game, regardless of the outcome. Waiting through queue, champ select and loading screen can easily take up to 5 minutes, and waiting for remake would be another 3 minutes (assuming its the same as Summoners Rift, which it should be).

Remaking an ARAM after wasting 8 minutes is kind of bad for a lot of people who just like to join ARAM to chill. I don't know many people who really fuss over whether or not they win. It's a "why bother" situation. While I'm not completely against remakes in ARAM's, you'd be ignorant to not realize there's downsides to this for casual players.

Pretty much this. We've thought a lot about this one, and the downsides here (players look at team comps, decide they are GOING to lose and say "its more efficient to afk so we can remake") outweigh the upsides by a lot. Not budging on this one.
