The League of Legends Arena game mode has been going strong for the past few months, despite numerous balance issues. As Riot works to improve the mode, numerous changes are planned for upcoming updates, including a massive revamp of Koi Pond, Arena’s most frustrating map.
“We know some players have been asking for changes to Koi Pond,” wrote Mike “Riot Rogue Fool” Breese on X yesterday, announcing the Koi Pond revamp planned for the League of Legends Patch 14.15. He outlined numerous changes that Riot aims to introduce, all of which are being implemented to “make the map less frustrating” and reduce the times players “feel isolated or trapped.” For example, the Lillypads will now close after almost 11 seconds, up twice from the previous 5.5-second timer.
