I'm currently enjoying Heroes of the Storm (HotS) on my Linux system. I appreciate how quickly I can dive into a game, but I feel the game mode is underdeveloped considering its popularity. Unfortunately, HotS is now in maintenance mode and won't receive new content.

  • Dota 2 offers ARAM as a custom game mode, but it's managed by donation-based P2W mod manager systems.
  • League of Legends (LoL) isn't easily set up on Linux and I don't like it very much,
  • Smite just doesn't feel smooth or enjoyable to play.

I'm looking for recommendations on ARAM or ARAM-like games that I can play on my Linux system.--

Have you checked out Battlerite? Not sure if it still has an active player base or it's working on Linux.

It does work on Linux. It still has a small player base. But it also got abandoned by the devs in favor of their new game (V-rising), so same issue than on hots.

I've had fun with Pokemon Unite although it's very easy

Dota2 also has a community 12v12 mode that feels pretty similar. The lane split is 5/2/5
