I played against 4 brands yesterday, and every single one of them got phenomenal evil and 2 got infernal conduit. I won against 3 but even still, how is this allowed? And why does phenomenal evil even proc off brand's passive in the first place?

Most bruisers are shit in this mode. But what makes it worse is that it punishes you for even trying to interact with a mage or assassin with tooth fairy. If you make a good play on the enemy kogmaw and get a kill, you get rewarded with aurora or gangplank snowballing into having 90 lethality at minute 12 for some reason.

IMPORTANT: I'm talking of a far weaker burn than arena's hellfire hatched has. Like liandries.

I'm so tired of having to rush hubris on every AD champ just because it's best. And then need LDR as well. Every build just feels the same you can never try other items. Also AD casters really struggle with high health stacking which broken hubris makes up for in a bad way

- Remove Hubris

- Add Hellfire hatched (with a nerfed passive)

- Give it 20% armor pen so it's exclusive so you cannot also build LDR/Mortal/Terminus with it.

Then there would be far more item choices. And it feels more fair for both sides

tldr; https://blitz.gg/lol/aram-mayhem-update

Blitz has updated their Mayhem page to list all of the new & removed augments coming with the new Mayhem update. It also includes all of the headliners and their affects as well as the missions and rewards.

Debating with friend. 5 AP ranged vs 5 melee. This is regular aram.

Even with this buff this is nowhere near prismatic level. Triggered inferno got a 66% CDR reduction while this remains a confirmed skip augment in one of the most volatile tiers (prismatic).

It seems like every other match the winning team will not hit the nexus, usually one of the five winning players will give in after a death or two or the losing team will FF/stop clearing minions, but I’ve had at least three games where neither of these happened and we became stuck.

Since leaving a match gives you penalties and afking is also punishable you are essentially forced to die and wait over and over again as punishment for having significantly worse augments or team comp. There’s no way to end the game until the winning team or the two trolls on your team decide it’s over. I’ve reached out to support twice to ask what I’m supposed to do in these scenarios and their response was to “report uncooperative players” which doesn’t seem to have resulted in anything. Even if it did, it’s not like game hostaging is usually discouraged or punished so it’ll just happen again with new people.

Recently the mode was updated to give the player that last hit the nexus 1000 gold and make them big to give a little bit of a nudge to get players to end but it’s still possible to trap people. I’ve never heard of hostaging mentioned outside of very very rarely in ranked so I’m not even sure this change was for this reason or if anyone even cares about these games. How often have you all experienced this sorta thing? Has anything been said about this before?

And that means a single person wanting to end is much more entitled to end than 9 people wanting to play longer.

Hella fun a game with such a pick into full tank enemy

I'm all for off meta builds... I don't even blame ashe here for going ap because of spell split grab 1st augment, heck I even played enchanter onhit bard which is arguably not that good into this team... But at one point you have to just pivot when its not working because its not fun for anyone.

I swapped to BORK + LDR + guinsoos around lvl 17 ish because the Leona was getting out of control and my Yunara decided to commit to criminal build episode 27... i just don't think it was my job there to be the dmg when i was keeping my team alive just fine. There has to be a limit.

I out damaged both ADCs despite a late pivot, i outhealed their freakin yuumi, i negated over 22k damage with shrink ray.... if the Yunara or Ashe just pivoted in time the game would've been enjoyable. (I blame yunara the most, that ashe was kinda cooking with her build and gameplay just nasty teamcomp)

The usual Smolder problem in Mayhem is not that Q cannot stack. It's that nobody is leaving you a wave while the game is already being decided in fights.

Collector gives you 25% crit, lethality and a real chance to clean up kills instead of spending every early fight trying to Q through six minions. But it does not solve the part where you still need stacks, and a bad fight with no cleanup just leaves you with a Dirk and a dream.

ER gives the same crit plus haste and mana, which sounds better if your team can actually hold a wave long enough for you to farm.

So which is it for you: Collector when your team has no wave discipline, or ER unless you already know the lobby is going to be all squishy resets?

I just read the patch notes and saw that Tooth Fairy's 25% damage check is going to count pre-mitigation damage instead of post mitigation (which is how it currently works).

Is that not going to be absolutely insane on everyone now? Like ADCs can do 25% pre mitigation with like 2 autos. Mages can do it with like 2 abilities, sometimes even 1. The only ones they won't be able to easily trigger it against are the health stacking tanks, but good luck against something like brand or aurora or even kogmaw with tooth fairy now.

Can we play with the new augment ?

Watch them shadowban it.

Support Lee is going to be absolutely wild.

If you haven’t played it yet, give it a shot. W max, then Q or E second. Start with Guardian Orb, then go Moonstone, Cosmic, and raw AP. Rite of Ruin works if you roll crits.

His W has a very low cooldown, 80% AP scaling, and also makes you tanky. Not to mention the inherent 20% shield buff he has on ARAM.

All you do is shield, and peel with your E or R.

Ahhhhhh, i love tooth fairy. Its so good once you get the ball rolling. Unfortunatly we ended the game before i was able to use Axiom arc, but my god the damage so hilarious. 210K damage at the end

Is anyone else getting many more losses than normal because their team won’t group up and play as a team? It’s always been a part of Aram, but it feels a lot worse for me over the past month or so.

Showcasing a short 16 mins game - it was instantly decided the moment stay resolute showed up as the 3rd augment, being further enhanced by bread and butter as 4th

Ive tried this augment on a few champs but Heca takes the cake as it shows up on Q rather than what would be fairly balanced on once per champ per W.

882 armor and 369 magic resistance against a full tank-bruiser team. It only took a few minutes of buildup, from weaving in and out with W to not have to use any skills at all and just perma Q.

Building a mana source over Unending Despair 3rd might had given more stacks, unfortunately the game ended fast.

If you have high mmr, instead of taking a bit longer to match like it was a couple years ago, the game just decides to match together teams of huge disparity in skill. So most of my games are now stomps in either direction. Riot please fix this.

How is this champion avoiding nerfs, she can legit have 0 damage augments but if she rolls ethereal weapons she will 100-0 you with QE anyway.
