ARAM Mayhem: Traits Fade, Augments Rise in Patch 26.12

Dev update for ARAM: Mayhem’s Season 2 Act 2 (Patch 26.12) reveals traits will be phased out and some will return as standalone Augments, alongside new Ability Augments and Quest Augments. The goal is to keep Mayhem fresh and champion‑centric, with examples like Stackasaurus becoming a standalone augment and new abilities such as Multishot and Chain Reaction. The team emphasizes a balance philosophy that supports fun and variety, rotates out overpowered Augments, adds new ones, tunes numbers as needed, and promises further content later this year and next.
