Well a big drawback for all free champs in riot's eyes is money, so don't ever expect it to happen. Whenever there's free week champs I've never played, I take them into a custom game with a guide and play them so I can learn their mechanics, playstyle, etc. Helps a lot for SR and ARAM.
And if people really champ stack just for ARAM and only buy OP champs for it e.g. Lux, nidalee, leblanc, etc, that's just sad. I throw them in the same boat of people who rage hard in ARAM and are being super try hard. The other day there was a level 24 playing shaco (non-free week, but he didn't know how to play him still) and a GP with 600+ wins who kept raging at the kid for costing us the game. Funny thing is the GP wasn't even that good as he built tanky, but the wrong items. Built a thornmail when the enemy was 4 tanks, almost no AAers to capitalize on it, and they were AP. He just kept building armor and raged hardcore at the shaco for being bad (granted he was bad, built a PD then a deathcap and didn't really help at all, but it's ARAM)
