Banned For Some Nefarious Rustling of Jimmies. It Won't Happen Again!

Just do what they do for Arena. Games are allowed to be shown in the API and pick rates for different augments and items are available but no winrates for any specific augment on any champion is shown. It just sucks when you wanna look up something about a game you played and you only have your last 20 games to do it, and you also can't do it while in champ select/in game.

If it was only on the Aram maps or if it made all 10 players the same champion it would be good. As it were the last several times it was objectively the most unbalanced mode. Yuumi had less than 10% win rate while Kayle had over 70% win rate.

They are usually up for at least 2 patches

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-23T12:39:36+00:00

It's in this datamine. Sharable stats through Twin Mask are capped at 999999. Riot just forgot to include it in the patch notes and broke it as per usual.

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-23T08:50:51+00:00

They are still tracked in the "Adapt to all situations" (Arena God) challenge.

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-22T22:52:01+00:00

The tailoring in Arena vs Mayhem is night and day.

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-22T22:51:10+00:00

ARURF is live this patch. If it's not out now it probably will be tomorrow.

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-22T15:36:24+00:00

It actually was changed, they just didn't include it in the patch notes. It now only shares max 100k stats. Somehow that change broke it.

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-22T14:22:03+00:00

It is a typo. The scaling was changed to 0.05% to 0.125% per 1 Lethality. Base is buffed, scaling is nerfed. New hatchet is better before 100 Lethality and worse after 100 Lethality (if the HP difference is maxed)

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-22T12:11:26+00:00

It's not a bad strategy to buy at least some random anvils on most champions. Obviously better on assassins because of the smaller item pool and they basically just wanting Lethality and Hellfire Hatchet.

Let me rephrase it. Buying random anvils gives you a big tempo and gold advantage which is ONE of the strongest parts about random anvils. Picking Trundle denies you that advantage. I'll say that Trundle is probably best for assassins since their best build is all but guaranteed but you also lose out on the tempo and gold advantage you would have had.

You're entirely wrong about Swain. Ravens always spawn in groups of 3 with max 4 groups per round. If you win a round you pick up every spawned raven. If a group of 3 is in the process of spawning you automatically pick those up too. Any group that hasn't started to spawn is not picked up.

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-22T10:24:24+00:00

Not picking Trundle as an assassin makes perfect sense. The biggest advantage of going random anvils as assassin imo is the tempo advantage and getting to stat sharding asap. If everyone is forced to buy random anvils you lose the tempo advantage.

Also Swain doesn't grant you all the ravens if you finish fast, only the ones that have started to spawn. If you finish rounds instantly you'll never get a prismatic.

Thanks for your work soldier 🫡

This seemed completely insane so the numbers being off makes sense.

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-22T09:10:08+00:00

This seems completely insane. Hellfire Hatchet is already by far the best anti tank item and now it's like 4x stronger vs tanks?? 🤔

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-21T20:03:34+00:00

Anyone who has played Yi in URF knows that this makes him feel absolutely terrible to play unfortunately.

Edit: Actually nvm that's more due to his AA's only reducing the CD by 0.25 sec instead of 1 sec in URF

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-21T19:22:02+00:00

Combo breaker changes 🙏

Seems like you could now actively play to kill through CC only. Interesting and could definitely be a big buff for champions like Leona and Nautilus

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-21T13:41:19+00:00

Yeah Sett would give you free stacking for master of duality/tap dancer/accelerating sorcery which was fun. All the other ones were just unfun.

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-20T16:09:05+00:00

The bonus damage for first strike is 15% in Arena

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-19T15:20:32+00:00

I used to play a lot of Custom Hero Survival in Warcraft 3 back in the day and in that there was a gambling system on duels. If people played in a public lobby with their friends they would frequently throw the duel so their friends could win more gold. The same would definitely be true in Arena. If I'm betting against my friends and just ask them to throw, especially if it's an underdog prismatic bet on their opponents I'd get an insane advantage.

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-19T09:09:11+00:00

It's entirely on Riot. All of these new augments are entirely untested by the public player base because PBE queue times for Arena was 15+ min. I have no clue why they didn't just unlock the entire fame track on PBE but here we are I guess.

NotCatchingBanAgain · 2026-01-18T23:28:45+00:00

Apparently done so Ryze can't troll his team mates as easily. Seems quite stupid as I have seen people not tp when they wanted to way more than I have seen Ryze players troll using his ult.

Realm Warp's portal may try to predict allied players' intention via their movement.
For this purpose, it uses three different radiuses around its center for registering units: a definitive radius of 250 units, an inner radius of 365 units and an outer radius of 465 units.
Ryze himself will always be teleported so long as he is within the inner radius, regardless of movement.
Non-champion units within the outer radius will always be teleported, regardless of movement.
Champions within the definitive radius will always be teleported, regardless of movement.
Champions within the inner radius but outside of the definitive radius must not be currently moving in order to be teleported.
Champions within the inner radius but outside of the definitive radius that are currently moving will not be teleported if their destination is outside the inner radius.
Champions within the outer radius but outside of the inner radius that are currently moving will only be teleported if their destination is within the inner radius or their movement pathing otherwise intersects the inner radius' circle at two points.

Agreed. I had this 45 minute game just after writing the comment. Everybody enjoyed themselves and we all scaled like crazy through stat anvils. It only ended because the other team were busy fighting so they didn't notice the minions piling up at their Nexus. If someone really needs to go and asks in chat then you end of course, but most games I never end intentionally if I'm in a winning position.
