Thematic seasons are an incredibly interesting change. Maybe they change map skins every season too with thematic changes. Then it could possibly lead to map skin purchases?

[Sveeq]

Swarm would've been perfect for the Ruination event if it came out back then...

[hee-yoonkang]

at this point, they change how seasons work twice per year

[Draethar]

I’d rather watch Necrit distill all Riot communications in his pajamas than watch their official videos.

[Rerags_]

they dodged the most imporatant question though:
when are we getting the winter rift back?!

If Arena had the same benefits as other modes, like earning chests, mastery and ranked rewards I would only play arena. The dropoff in players is because of that

[loftyboar]

you know riot games can use the swarm mode to tell the story of Noxian invasion or void war. just imagine how many maps we'll get to play if they do this.

I hope we get a Targon season that introduces a new Rakkor/ Solari warrior champion and maybe a Leona ASU that makes her feel like a Solari.

can't say i agree with not making arena a permanent mode. I don't believe they did enough to change it month to month to keep it fresh, but i also understand that would take a lot of effort to maintain both the base game, ranked, aram, and arena. The thing is, arena was too small and was quickly solved by the community. even with the addition of more bans there were still very common team comps and the easter eggs got solved so early that it no longer had appeal. It would need to be much more stimulating or offer something more than it currently does to really be solidified as a permanent game mode and i really just don't think they tried enough with it. for example, doing clash events in arena would have been really cool. Maybe adding in a starting stage effect similar to tft that maybe locks out certain augments or classification of augments.

I can understand rotating game modes in and out if queue rotation but they should work out a way where the rotating game modes can be used in custom games at any time.

Ngl, I'm gonna miss old Teemo. I liked how stupid he looked in his old skins 😭

[canalminimapa]

Arena is just another competitive mode, most players are casual, so no surprise it didnt explode expectation. Swarm got the genre player in Star Guardians and Odyssey were not based on a popular genre. I hope they come back one day.

From the way it's talked about the incoming season system almost sounds like what happenned with LOR and Nilah where we followed her epic accross runetterra while bringing us new champions

[sirrealgaming]

When it comes to Auto fill it'll NEVER be balanced even if they have equal Fills on both teams
some players just do not play other roles and taking them out of their role and slamming them into the same skill level
just forces them to pray their team can carry them or that they somehow don't let a big enough gap form to make things unwinnable
You could argue "lol get good" but when you're not the one autofilled and the Jungle difference is so massive there's no hope what can you do

One thing I gotta say about Arena during summer is that first of all, me and my friend group barely played league during summer at all, I think I only played like 5 games in 2 months. And also, that was probably the most boring version of arena. Not only were the maps kinda unenjoyable (looking at u lily pad map) but something about the gameplay itself felt sluggish and laggy. In normal summoner's rift I had no problems, but when playing arena it felt like my movement was delayed. And the augments somehow felt worse too, every game I saw other people getting perfect augments for their champions and every time I wanted to try an interesting build I didnt get a single augment that fit it. I'd queue in mundo (or some other tank) hoping to get one or two of the augments that make u extra tanky, or benefit from u being tanky, but only got augments that helped my damage output, usually ones scaling with the least preferred stat.

I was a massive fan of arena during the first time they brought it, me and my friend would non-stop play it, but the two times after that something felt off, and it wasnt because of burnout

[TylPhumin]

Wow ur so quick! thanks for covering it <3

[urosprodic]

Who would have thunk, the sweaty pvp gamemode didnt stay.

[pamdabeep]

I absolutely do not believe what they said about arena. My queue times in arena were shorter in august than any other mode, and theres 6 more players than SR...

[avg.player]

Man, back in the day I started getting into Twisted Treeline and it got removed, and now the same thing has happened to Arena 😢 At least Arena will come back eventually

[TheToox]

Arcane themed rift would be so cool. One side Zaun one side piltover
