**Riot Games is set to inject a dose of exhilarating chaos into League of Legends’ beloved ARAM mode with the upcoming release of “ARAM: Mayhem” in patch 25.21.** This new mode introduces augments, powerful buffs reminiscent of those found in Arena and Teamfight Tactics, that will drastically alter champion gameplay and unlock creative, over-the-top playstyles.
“ARAM: Mayhem” will allow players to choose from a selection of four to five augments throughout the match, appearing at levels 1, 7, 11, and 15. These augments promise to transform champions into unparalleled forces, envisioning scenarios like an unkillable tank Sona or a lightning-fast Mordekaiser.
Inspired by Wild Rift’s AAA ARAM and the success of Arena, the development team sought to combine strategic depth with fast-paced action. A prototype developed over two days proved surprisingly engaging, leading to a dedicated team and the creation of over 40 brand-new augments tailored for ARAM’s unique one-lane battlefield.
Notable augments include “King Me,” which grants bonuses for taking the enemy’s base transporter, and synergies around the Snowball summoner spell, like “Biggest Snowball Ever” and “Snowball Upgrade,” for massive crowd control and damage.
The team addressed potential gameplay clarity issues, particularly with persistent effects, by adjusting the frequency and impact of certain augments to ensure fights remain readable and fun.
**Crucially, Riot Games emphasizes that traditional ARAM isn’t going anywhere. “ARAM: Mayhem” will exist as a separate queue, offering players the choice between classic ARAM and the augment-fueled frenzy.**
“ARAM: Mayhem” promises a unique experience that blends elements from ARAM, Arena, and Summoner’s Rift. Riot Games encourages players to experiment with new combinations and share their feedback, hoping to see the community create entirely new playstyles within this chaotic new mode.
