Bug Fixes & QoL Changes

Arena

Step 1: Queue Up – You can queue for Arena solo or with a duo comrade.
Step 2: Pick/Ban – Everyone gets a ban, and then you move into a Blind-style pick where you cannot see your enemies picks. You can face mirror matchups, but you can’t double up on your team. Also there are no Runes or Summoner Spells! (More on this later.)
Step 3: Fight! – There are multiple rounds in each match of Arena, and each round has a buy and combat phase. In buy phases you either get to choose an Augment, or you get gold to buy items. You then enter the combat phase and fight your opponent. In each combat phase you fight 2v2—if you win, you retain your overall team health, if you lose, you lose some health. The last team standing wins! Easy, right? Wrong! There are also some surprise Cameos from the Soul Fighters who want to shake things up a bit. So watch out for errant Lux lasers and Shaco nonsense, because winning isn’t always as easy as it seems. Place in the top two teams and you’ll start climbing the Ranked ladder from Wood to Gladiator.
Step 4: Run It Back – After your team is eliminated you can immediately leave and queue up again for retribution! But of course you won’t lose, you’re here to win the whole dang thing! So fight it out to the end, claim victory, and then keep that win streak going, baby!
