ARAM Mayhem update will make question mark pings deal damage

A PBE datamine has revealed full details for the massive update coming to ARAM Mayhem in the next League of Legends patch.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that ARAM Mayhem is sticking around in LoL for a while due to its significant popularity.

Patch 26.3 will see a lot of new augements including one that seems to turn missing pings into rockets that hurt and heal like Redemption.

It will also add a free progression system with plenty of rewards and TFT-esque Augment Sets to Aram Mayhem.

This sounds like a fun augment https://t.co/SIfj41Mg51
