Your League of Legends tournament arc just got an extension!
Your favorite game mode, Arena, is making its grand return to the League client, and this time, it’s here to stay. In a recent dev blog, Riot Games announced that Arena will be available for an entire ranked split, offering players an extended period to immerse themselves in intense action and strategy.
The third iteration of Arena will be available from May 1 to September, and Riot Games is excited to gather valuable data and feedback during this time. This means that players will have ample opportunity to showcase their skills and compete for glory in a dynamic and challenging environment.
But what can you expect from this new iteration of Arena? Well, Riot has promised a few changes and updates to enhance the gameplay experience. Balance adjustments, new features, and improvements based on community feedback will be implemented to ensure that Arena remains fresh and engaging.
One significant change is the expansion of the Arena lobby. This time around, the lobby will accommodate double the contestants, creating a more competitive and unpredictable environment. Prepare for intense battles as you face off against a larger pool of skilled opponents.
However, it’s important to note that the ranked system for Arena will be on hold during the initial weeks. Riot wants to observe how the game mode progresses without the leaderboard system, allowing players to adapt and explore new strategies freely.
But don’t worry, the leaderboard will make its grand entrance with Patch 14.10. Get ready to climb the ranks and prove your worth in both Arena and the Summoner’s Rift.
Riot’s decision to extend the presence of Arena demonstrates their dedication to refining and enhancing this beloved game mode. By offering a four-month ranked season and ongoing updates, Riot is actively listening to player feedback and striving to make Arena a permanent addition to League of Legends, much like the beloved ARAM mode.
So, gather your friends, sharpen your skills, and get ready for an unforgettable season of intense battles in Arena. May the best summoners prevail!
