The League of Legends patch 14.12 notes are now live, and Riot is making some extensive changes to the Arena this time around. There will be several balance adjustments heading to the game mode, with both champions and Augments receiving a lot of tweaks that are bound to shake up the current Arena meta.
Below is a list of all the changes coming to the Arena with League of Legends patch 14.12.
Contents:
