ARAM: Mayhem

Expand

Hello ARAM Mayhemers!

In this patch, we’re continuing to reduce passive and persistent Movement Speed from Augments to give champions more room to react and make fights easier to read.

To help address overall damage levels, we’re also buffing a number of items and the Health Relic system. Several melee and tank support items now have lower cooldowns, making them more impactful and usable in Mayhem’s fast-paced fights.

See you on the Bridge!
