I'm a little confused. With augments being limited to 2 each, does that mean across the entire match? like only 2 players get the opportunity to take it?
This gamemode is awesome and I hope it stays for good some day. I don't like summoners rift and ARAM has gotten pretty stale.
Across the entire match, only two people will be able to take it. So, if someone sees it in the first round but doesn't take it, it will go back into the pool for subsequent rounds.
And thanks for the kind words!
If you queue as 8, is it random who is on who's team? Our group is happy with this no matter what method it uses, but was curious.
Our team made a new lobby design to allow you to choose who is on who's team
i hope they finally fix the augment reroll.. rerolling bad augments just to see them again, even twice in the same round was so dumb
You should not be rerolling into augments you've seen in the same round. It will be possible to see them in future rounds.
Who’s ready for the flood of “they ruined arena”, “arena sucks now”, “I loved the first arena but now...”, etc comments?
Let's go.
The article is misleading in this regard. The only line about how many you can queue with says "Groups of 2 and 4 people can now queue together".
In fact, the number 3 doesn't even show up in the entire article besides as part of your name and when writing out a patch number that has "3" in it. Could that be updated to clarify? 🙂
I sent a request, but it'll take time before it happens if it's possible.
You don't think the random when you queue as 3 is going to get griefed?
Possibly, but the alternative is to not let you queue 3 at all. If some players want to risk it to play with three, we didn't see the need to prevent them from doing so.
The subreddit hive mind is patiently awaiting your magnum opus champ Hwei
He better be more absurd than KSante, god knows we have been ranting about KSante for too long, we could use another new high skill ceiling champ to make rant posts about
You got it.
riot maxwell, i f**king love you man, you have made some questionable champs like yuumi
but arena was just so f**king good that idc if you would make a yuumi 2.0
ok pls no yuumi 2.0 im jk, i am all in for arena 2.0 tho
Too late dog on book champ inc.
Can you actually queue as 3? Our friend group is a trio and we wanted to play this mode together ever since it came out, but the article mentions only groups of 2/4/8.
Groups of 2 and 4 people can now queue together and choose who is on what team. We also allow a full group of 8 people to queue together, allowing them their own private match.
Yes you can. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 are all allowed. One of you will get paired with a random, although you can choose who that is.
Idk why they can't disable rating gain/lose when queueing as 8. Going to have some ridiculous wintraders at the top of the leaderboard, or maybe im misunderstanding
Yeah, that sentence is a little unclear. Groups of 8 will NOT get rating changes. Queuing as 1, 2, 3, or 4 will get rating changes.
Thank you for the kind words! We definitely haven’t seen the last of Arena; the team is discussing the future plans for the mode and none of the options on the table involve abandoning it. Brightmoon and Meddler will have a dev update soon that includes what the next steps are for the mode.
I see, so it's analogous to the system Tetris uses. What about the 3 teams scenario? How does the game decide which ones fight first?
It prefers the team with the most health (coin flip if there's a tie), UNLESS that would cause a back to back fight.
But how does it work when it's down to 3 teams? And how are there instances where one team fights 3 fights in a row when there are only 3 teams? Shouldn't it be AvB, AvC, then BvC? I have games where it's AvB, AvC, then AvB again
That's a bug. If you have an example game ID where that happened, it would help us track down the bug. The bye should rotate regardless unless a second team gets eliminated.
How come the teams aren't rotated on top 3?
I've noticed a couple games where I had to fight back to back for several rounds in a row while the enemy essentially just got a game off every other game.
You shouldn't fight a team back to back unless there's only two teams. On the first round there are three teams, whichever team has the most life remaining will get the first bye, unless doing that would cause a repeat matchup
It’s round Robin, with making sure that you don’t fight back to back. So you could have
AvB, AvC, AvD, AvC, AvD, AvB
You fight teams an equal number of times on the round Robin, but with some variance on the order
I don't mean to offend or be an asshole but can I ask what lead the team to pick Shaco, the most universally hated and despised champion in the game, as one of the new map cameos?
We made one for each champion with a soul fighter skin. Also, his boxes are at least visible in the cameo.
Rest assured if he's actually terrible, we can disable him.
I may have been too chimed up when buffing Bard
Chimes are a hell of a drug
We’re prepping a micropatch to sort him out. Turns out you CAN buff bard too much
How is Cassiopeia escaping nerfs?!
She has hotfix nerfs on live already
