How long will a Swarm game last?
A game of Swarm will last as long as an average ARAM game, which is close to 20 to 25 minutes at the very most. Throughout the mode, you will be able to level and get more abilities.
You can also spend the in-game currency that you have accumulated to buy equipment and items to make defeating the monsters easier.
Additionally, there will be multiple achievements that you will be able to unlock as you compete with your friends. So the more time you spend in the game mode the better the rewards and achievements will Riot give out.
