Riot Games is continuously improving the Arena formula by introducing new gameplay systems, Augments, and items. Patches 14.14 and 14.15 will be no exceptions, adding numerous additions to Arena alongside some substantial buffs and nerfs.

This was announced on June 8 by Riot lead gameplay designer Matt “Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison on X (formerly Twitter). He outlined the changes coming in Patch 14.14, dealing with which champions and items would be buffed or nerfed. Phenomenal Evil and Urf’s Champion are among the most notable Augments that will be getting juiced up in the next patch, while Duskblade and Prowler’s have been targeted for nerfs. Champions notoriously dominant in Arena will be the targets of nerfs, including Garen, Naafiri, Pyke, Zed, and Master Yi.

As for what is coming in Patch 14.15, Riot Rogue Fool and Riot Twin Enso have been teasing new Augments for the past week. Fire Sale will allow players to sell all of their non-quest items for 100 percent of their worth, Ultimate Roulette replaces the “Flee” summoner spell with what’s probably a random Ultimate spell, Fruits of your Labor buffs the effect of healing flowers, and so on. So far, only a handful of Augments have been revealed, though it is a long way to July 31 when they are geared to launch as part of the League Patch 14.15.

Riot has continuously made efforts to improve the Arena game mode and possibly make it a permanent one to contrast the regular five-vs-five Summoner’s Rift. So far, only ARAM has managed to maintain its place, as all other alternate game modes have been either swapped out or entirely killed off (looking at you Twisted Treeline and Dominion).
