In this League of Legends patch, Riot is going to make some interesting changes to Arena. While there are quite a few changes set for Summoner's Rift, Arena is a world of its own and therefore requires its own balance, since items and champions work in completely different ways in this game mode. 

So, Riot is going to be releasing some patch notes for Arena with LoL Patch 14.12 as well. What is going to be changing this time around? Riot have already nerfed sustain so what is next?

More Bans Added And UX Changes In LoL Patch 14.12

Riot Phroxzon also explained on Twitter/X that until now they've kept to 8 bans in total since they didn't want to limit the amount of available champions too much. The team didn't want to have certain champions be perma-banned for those players who like to play them. 

After assessing the data on live servers though, the balance team has decided that 16 bans is fine going forward. So, in this patch, every person playing is going to have a ban equipped. 

Along with the changes to the bans, Riot is also going to add some quality of life interface changes. Players will now be able to see tooltips of augments and items once they hover them. The legendary anvils ahve also been removed from the consumables tab.
