League of Legends Patch Notes Quick Breakdown 25.21 (15.21): New ARAM mode!

Overview

We’re going to give you a quick rundown of key points from the latest patch. You can also see how these changes have affected the meta by looking at our Champion Statistics page, which highlights changes in Win Rate between patches.

The biggest new thing for this patch is going to be the new ARAM Mayhem mode, which may change the way ARAM is played forever. Riot has found a lot of success with implementing augments into other game modes and will now try that with ARAM. We'll keep you updated with an ever-evolving Tier List to help you pick the best augments!
