As the upcoming Arena game mode is right around the corner, here are all the champion changes for this game mode.
Earlier this year, Riot has been teasing a new game mode for League of Legends. Though, at the time, we didn’t know much about it. The only thing we knew for sure was that it would be in 2v2v2v2 format with a separate map.
But last month, Riot fully unveiled Arena game mode. As stated before, the format will be 2v2v2v2, with its own map. Additionally, for extra game mechanics, this mode will contain augments and champion cameos.
Even though this game mode was not out on live servers, Riot released it on PBE earlier so players could try out the game mode. The aim was that the mode would be as bug-free and balanced as possible.
Initially, during the start of the PBE, there weren’t any Arena-specific changes. However, it proved to be an unbalanced nightmare, as some champions like Taric or Kayle dominated each match. Due to it, around the second week, Riot pushed an arena-specific balance update.
As the PBE has ended, the developers have decided to balance even more champions. So here are all the champion-specific changes for the Arena game mode.
