"League of Legends: Wild Rift" has announced the start of a three-day test for the new All Random All Mid (ARAM) Game Mode. The announcement came from their official Twitter account, with the event set to run between April 5 to 8.
Depending on the test run, the game mode might be a permanent new addition to the mobile platform.
"League of Legends: Wild Rift" is a popular 5v5 skills and strategy multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) that most gamers play today. This is a mobile version of the "League of Legends" computer game that was released back in 2009 and is currently one of the dominating games in e-sports.
"Wild Rift" has barely reached half a year's mark of release and developers are currently tweaking more upgrades and content for its players. This is to keep players excited for the mobile gaming experience. After a few months of deliberation, they are expanding their systems to include the new game mode.
ARAM Game Mode
ARAM is a game mode most regular and veteran LoL players would know about. The game is set on the icy Howling Abyss, a single-lane map where all 10 players would compete. There are brand new rules and strategies to be discovered in this game. Ultimately, ARAM has a faster game run-time than the usual 15-20 minutes of a normal match.
Dotesports reported that ARAM is a long single lane with each team having two turrets and a Nexus on either side. All players will be assigned with random champions, but players could also choose to reroll or swap with new champions when the selection process begins.
Techradar also took note of the new summoner spell "Mark/Dash." This lets a player throw a Poro to an enemy champion or creep, as well as automatically dash beside the "marked" unit.
A new rule for the game mode is that items can no longer be purchased when players leave the spawn point. There will also be no recall buttons or health regeneration for champions for the duration of this round. Players are forced to operate on new gaming tactics for this map.
A pro tip is to consider dying as a "reset" function. After surviving a few exchanges with the enemy and earning some gold, players can opt for a tactical suicide or get "executed" by enemy towers. Dead champions could access the item shop to come back stronger in the next clash.
"League of Legends Wild Rift" 3-Day Test
Riot is releasing the ARAM mode in the mobile game for a limited-time test period. They are checking to see if all systems are functional and running properly. Developers are also looking out for possible bugs or issues that could come out from the features of this game mode. If all systems are running smoothly, Riot might release a fuller version of the mode sometime in April or May. Be sure to log in to your "Wild Rift" and test the new game mode ARAM while it remains available!
