We are happy to open up Normal Draft availability for ME, OC and SG from windowed time to 24/7, as we've seen meaningful queue time improvement across regions since late 2025.

Ability Augments are Augments that directly upgrade one of your champion's abilities. You'll only ever receive Ability Augments that are usable for your champion.

Previously, Quest Augments only had a single unlock threshold, but in this update we're introducing multi-tier Quest Augments that can evolve multiple times into even stronger versions. Older Quest Augments, like Quest: Steel Your Heart, have also been updated with clearer visuals and requirement tracking in the UI.

We're removing the Trait System for this season.

• Earlier this year, we explored how Traits affected player choice and build variety. While some Trait effects, like High Roller and Archmage were very popular, the system also reduced variety in Augment decisions. To preserve the fun parts, we've converted some Trait bonuses into standalone Augments so you can still enjoy their fantasies without being locked into a full Trait.

We've also removed some older Augments that no longer delivered on their gameplay fantasy. Our goal is to rotate the pool to focus more on champion abilities, and make sure every Augment feels exciting to select.

This time around, we're giving extra attention to fighters and tanks. We've added more combat-focused Prismatic Augments to help them survive longer and move through fights more aggressively.

• Having trouble surviving after getting a kill? HellBent lets you revive if you stack it high enough. Looking for a Bel'Veth-style reset fantasy? Rite of Ascension refreshes your cooldowns and heals you on takedowns.

Will now attempt to re-target the initial target for the final attack so player will be able to land near the initial target

These no longer share a lockout, allowing you to buy Guardian Angel with a Stasis item.
