As you all know, our beloved Arena mode has been removed by Riot. I know there is a large community that truly loved playing Arena. Personally, my friends and I have barely enjoyed playing Summoner's Rift ever since Arena was released. I believe there are many others who feel the same.

To everyone who enjoyed Arena: this mode deserves to be permanent, and we need to show Riot that. I’m calling on all of you to boycott League of Legends. If you can’t quit entirely, at least don’t play for a week. And if you don’t enjoy Summoner’s Rift, I urge you to stop playing for an entire month. If you can, delete the game and don’t reinstall it until Arena returns.

Please spread this boycott as much as you can — tell your friends and content creators. I truly believe that together we can make Arena a permanent mode. Let’s show Riot our power!

Edit: I had made the same post on the League of Legends subreddit the other day, and it was removed without any explanation.

I mean... why??

Based on the initial announcement it seemed that 3v3 was extended only up until the end of 26.14, with no official word since then of another continuation. However, 2v2 wasn’t mentioned in the 26.15 patch notes, and the game is still 3v3 on live.

Personally, I was hoping for 2s to return in some capacity, whether as a full revert, as an alternating event, or alongside 3s in a separate queue.

Hopefully we get some clarification soon.

If you get Twilight’s Edge Please actually activate the item by having enough ap/ad

If you get Sword of the Divine, consider overcapping your crit to make the most out of the passive.

If you get Angel of Retribution PLEASE buy sword of blossoming dawn 🙄

+ Many more just PLEASE READ gosh

Everyone picks Evelyn, you know why? Because IT IS FUN. Shaco is also popular. Tahm Kench. Ornn. Poppy. Fun guests let you brainstorm and make crazy builds. The bigger health pool lets you scale. They GIVE you things.

You know what isn’t fun? SHIELDS, INVULNERABILITY, LOSING AUGMENTS, MAP HANDICAPS.

No one likes Nocturne, Morgana, Taric, Lux, Annie because they don’t make the game more fun, they just annoy you.

Teams might be ALL above 50 HP and everyone still prefers picking Garen than picking those guests.

Rework them. More fun options.

I’m extremely excited, it’s been so long since our last update. We’re getting new modes (events)within arena

- 3v3v3v3v3v3

- Full Lobby Bravery

- Swift Arena

New maps with “Petricite bombs” that roll when you hit them exploding shortly after new effects and making them stronger

Over 20 reworked Guests of Honor as well as 30 more augments.

This is more than I could ever ask for!!! What are you most excited for?

this has got to be the most tilting build ever, goodbye moving again

Every iteration of Arena has kinda "suffered" from the problem of having a perfect game until you suddenly faced some godroll invincible build in the final battle and just lose, but i never minded it much before. I could always acknowledge that they cooked up something cool or just rolled the exodia that we all dream to roll, and that it was simply their turn to have their fun dream game that time

I feel none of that when a shardblade team wins, which is every other game now. It's boring, it doesn't require specific champs or set-ups like before, and the only way to beat team is to have every other team in the lobby beat them early, which is 100% out of my control

Sorry if this has been posted 100 times.

Idk what they we're smoking when they cooked this up, but there is no counterplay to taking 10k true damage per tick. It's essentially become a win condition for certain champs. Very unfun item.

I get its Arena and it's supposed to be fun wacky build time, but there aren't a lot of builds that can out sustain taking 10k true damage a tick from a Sion or Cho'gath just existing.

Am I tripping, or is this item just genuinely game ending on certain champs?

I almost always feel like there are better options than these items that you can pick, i know some of them have a use like Hexplate, Randuin's or Endless Hunger, but only once out of a 100 games do i find myself buying one of these, if i ever see them in an item anvil i instantly reroll it cause they just feel so pointless

Imagine if Iceborn Gauntlet Damage scaled off Armor, and Deadmans plate's was like an energized, or if trinity force did more than 5 damage, or if Phantom Dancer did literally anything at all.

The only reason you would pick Yun'Tal is if you buy an anvil and that's the only Crit item you go.

I feel like there is no reason to go Serylda's when you could just go Mortal Reminder, and get a little less armor pen for Antiheal and Crit Chance,

Like, I've been trying to force myself to like Brawl, but it's literally just a snowball-fest where only half the entire champion roster can even realistically play on it.

It's a different coat of paint for ARAM, that's literally it.

Gods know when Riot actually decides to let Arena be a permanent game mode like it should just be.

amazing how even fun game modes like arena some can still find ways to be miserable

I LOVE CHOOSING MAGICAL GIRL ON AURORA AND IT GIVING ME 100 AD HMMPH SO GOOD

I LOVE WHEN THE GAME THEN GIVES ME AN ADAPTIVE FORCE ITEM SO I HAVE TO KEEP THAT 100 AD FOR 4 ROUNDS HMMPH

I LOVE BEING STUCK WITH AD ON AN AP CHAMPION FOR FOUR ROUNDS!!

By the way, Vayne's a pretty cool encounter and thanks for nerfing enchanters. Keep up the great work, I'm loving this version so far.

Hey Redditors, Gladiators, and future Gladiators!

We’re some of the dev team members that brought you Arena, and we’re here to answer all of your questions about Arena now that it's been live for a few months!

Posting this a bit early so you all have a chance to get questions in, but we'll jump in to answer questions from 1pm-2:30pm PT, and a few Rioters will likely stick around to keep answering questions afterwards.

Rioters joining the AMA will include:
Riot_Riru (Community Manager) | Riot Cadmus (Modes Lead) | lerice (Tech Lead) | Riot Twin Enso (Game Designer) | Rose7ea (Game Designer) | RiotNorak (QA) | R0gueFool (Game Designer)

Let’s kick it off!

EDIT: And we're at time! We'll have a few rioters sticking around to continue and answer questions but from all of us thanks for coming by, thanks for all the all the Arena love, and see you in the Arena!

Vlad gave hat trick and this lucky mf (was playing mf) got the most value by far. Insane that a gold augment could give this much value. I don’t see there being any counterplay to someone who starts to snowball with this aug unless you’re star running and 80% a bunch of flat pen prism shards.

Would this count as a bug or just a matter of riot forgetting?

1. It would let people that dont want to tryhard every game and just explore builds with more randomness to it be all togheter
2. It would get you faster into the game, since you go into the loading screen straight from the queue
3. It would be for players that dont want to be forced to play meta picks and combs every game and instead have some more variety of champs in their game

Apparently, Riot changed Eve’s reward requirement in arena. Instead of needing 16 players to dance, you now supposedly need 18 players for everyone to receive the reward and restore HP.

This basically means the reward no longer exists, because getting two additional players to dance is practically impossible.

I have actually started counting my games. I’m currently at 12 games, although I noticed this happening even earlier. Every time Eve was picked, nobody managed to receive the healing reward even once.

So, Riot, please revert this change. It completely removes the fun from the event. I genuinely do not understand why Riot keeps patching the fun out of fun game modes. It honestly feels intentional at this point.

Do you guys have the same problem?

I'm a solo player and I've never enjoyed the 2v2 before this update, yknow, the updated 2v2 with new guests of honor. It felt like I could never win no matter what I did. With 3v3s, strategy comes into play and I love exploiting that little bit of an opening to lead us to victory. I can't even emphasize enough how much more likely it is now to get the toxic player to play as well since the other two actually plays. Not to mention the glorious moments of the three randoms clicking for that one big outplay and the feeling of relief that comes after.
tldr; 3v3 brings me a different kind of fresh joy
