While League Arena has long been praised as a breath of fresh air in the wider League fandom, there\u2019s always things players want to see changed, including rerolls. As it stands, the two-vs-two-vs-two-vs-two gladiator mode offers some power over the Augments and anvils that come up in lobbies, but many players agree the way it works at the moment \u201cfeels bad to play around\u201d in most cases. Riot has heard the player complaints, League modes designer Mike Breese said today, but it\u2019s not as simple as changing everything overnight. Said Breese, \u201cReroll changes are on the table, but [not] currently a priority.\u201d The biggest issue is overall power: More rerolls in every player\u2019s pocket means more consistency, which in turn \u201cpushes up the power level of the mode.\u201d That\u2019s something Riot really wants to avoid wherever possible, with the League Arena balance team firm believers that the limited-time mode should revolve around adaptation and experimentation rather than a set-in-stone metagame. Should players have access to the strongest \u201cbest-in-slot\u201d options every time through rerolls, certain powerful League champions would naturally float to the top very quickly. One way they could find some middle ground for the feature, Breese explained to fans, is to keep the Arena\u2019s reroll numbers the same but clear out any \u201cbad choices\u201d so the Augments on offer don\u2019t ever feel bad to take in a lobby. The two-vs-two-vs-two-vs-two mode's developers will have their chance to test everything once Arena goes offline in September. As well as rerolls, the Riot team will be looking into how they can build the gladiator mode to last long into the future\u2060\u2014and maybe even stick around permanently, if they can spare the resources. This Arena run will last until Wednesday, Sept. 10 before it shuts again.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/reroll-upgrades-likely-for-lol-arena-but-riot-games-developers-fear-it-may-make-some-champs-too-busted.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1309885"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1309885"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1309885\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1309891,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1309885\/revisions\/1309891"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1309887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1309885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1309885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1309885"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1309885"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1309885"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1309885"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1309885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
