The arena mode fixes so many of my issues with summoner's rift. I love playing my champions, but I hate being locked in losing games for 40 minutes, dealing with trolls, and tilting.
In arena, even if I lose every combat, the game is only like 9 minutes- and that's including queue times and champ select. People rarely doge, and if they do queue times are very short. It's also rare to deal with a troll, because you only have 1 teammate. This makes playing with a duo even more fun, since you two have complete control over what happens.
Arena still has ranks which are fun to have goals in, unlike Nexus Blitz or something where it will ultimately always be casual.
This new mode fixes so many of my issues with the game, I hope it comes back or becomes permanent.
