Riot is adding way more bans in LoL Arena to avoid ‘stagnant’ metagame
League of Legends’ Arena mode will undergo significant changes when Patch 14.12 drops on June 12, with the number of bans available for players doubling.
Arena is a rotational League mode but has quickly become a clear fan favorite among players across the community, with many begging Riot to make it permanent. While Riot has yet to decide either way, the developers are trying to make the duelling mode the best it can be—and today that means stacking more blind bans into the mode; the number available in each lobby will spike from eight to 16 in June’s next update.
