  • ARAM Changes

    • Randomly rotates between 3 maps (Howling Abyss, Spirit Blossom, and Butcher's Bridge) that each have small changes.

    • Re-rolls replaced with Champion Cards. You get 2 and unused ones go to bench for anyone else to pick.

  • Yunara

    • Auto-attack based ADC. Coming in a few weeks.

    • 2.5D side scroller beat-em-up featuring Yunara and Xin Zhao coming with it

  • Successor to Spirit Bonds where you can befriend spirits, but does require playing League of Legends itself

  • Devs will continue to make new meta-games

  • Improvements to inting and griefing detection system resulted in 99.95% accuracy. Tougher punishments to come.

  • High skill players are going to be held to higher standard.

  • Experimenting with a feature that will terminate games with egregious game-ruining experiences (similar to VALORANT's cheat detection)

  • Honor system being worked on

  • Pick Ems for MSI
