All Arena changes in League of Legends patch 14.16

The League of Legends Arena game mode is receiving a significant number of updates with patch 14.16. Champions, systems, as well as many Augments are receiving tweaks as Riot looks to bring more balance to the alternate game mode.

The changes are bound to shake up the existing meta a fair bit and Marksmans will not be as dominant in the game once the update goes live. Here is a list of every change that Arena is receiving with League of Legends patch 14.16.
