LoL Arena Changes
Arena, the LoL game mode, seems to be experiencing decreasing popularity. While play hours are dipping, Riot has decided to give it a second chance by spicing things up. They're changing things to add more variety, extending its runtime to win the interest of more players. With its focus on crazy build ideas and unpredictable gameplay, Arena aims to bring back the fun to the game mode.
Firstly, the lobby size will increase to accommodate 16 players. This way, each game will feel more competitive. Additionally, an update to the item system is on the way, introducing a new class of items called Prismatic. These items will redefine builds and strategic decisions during matches.
Item acquisition is also getting a revamp. Instead of solely purchasing items from the shop, LoL Arena players will now have the option to gamble using anvils for a chance to acquire items at a lower cost.

New Bullet Heaven Game Mode in Arena
Riot has been working on something entirely different in Arena. Soon, we can expect a Bullet Heaven Survivor PvE mode, a fresh take on League's core gameplay, which is completely PvP. In this mode, you'll team up with friends or go solo to battle hordes of enemies.
While details are still scarce, Riot promises that this new PvE mode will be unlike anything LoL players have experienced so far. We can expect this mode to launch alongside the mid-year LoL event later this year.
We can't wait for the return of Arena and the debut of the survivor mode. Stay tuned for further announcements and get ready to dive into the action-packed world of League of Legends!
