Systems
Autofill and Secondary Matchmaking Improvements
ARAM: Mayhem
- This patch focuses on reducing frustration around Augments and champion quality of life.
- For Poro Blaster, we've adjusted its knockback behavior to be less punishing for melee champions. It will now only knock back once when you have 5 Poros, and we've reduced the respawn timer to keep the action flowing. We've also made a small adjustment to Void Rift to make its periodic damage less overwhelming.
- This patch includes fixes for several champion-specific interactions, particularly around the shop and Augment behavior. We've also continued improving overall Augment usability, including fixes for: Prom Queen's charm interaction, Shyvana with Final City Transit, Neeko with firefox issue and Azir's Minion Mancer behavior.
- NEW Knocks back enemies once only when you have 5 poros.
- Poro respawn time: 5s ⇒ 3.5s
