▲ 10 r/ARAM

I originally posted this in r/LeaguePBE but felt that probably wasn't the place for it so I deleted it within 5 minutes and am moving it here:

Set Bonus For Dragon Soul Augments:

  • (2) For each dragon soul you have, gain 2 of the respective minor elemental dragon buffs associated with that dragon. For example if you have a mountain soul and an infernal soul, you would get 10% armor and mr, as well as 6% ad and ap (equivalent to Infernal Might x2 and Mountainous Vigor x2)
  • (3) Increase your total attack damage, ability power, attack speed, max health, armor, magic resist, and ability haste by 3% for each Dragon Soul you possess, up to 18% (slightly weaker version of dragonheart)
  • (4) Gain Elder Dragon Buff

Set Bonus For Ability Haste Augments:

  • Recursion, Bread and Butter, Bread and Jam, Bread and Cheese, Infinite Recursion, Crit'N'Cast, Eureka, Dashing, Purist Caster, Double Buffs, Ultimate Awakening, Probably a lot more that I am forgetting
  • (2) Gain 15% spell cost reduction
  • (3) Gain 30% spell cost reduction
  • (4) Gain 45% spell cost reduction
  • URF Lovers Rejoice

Set Bonus For Archmage

  • (2) Unchanged
  • (3) (Since this doesn't exist) 50% increased mana/energy regen
  • (4) (Since this doesn't exist) 50% increase max mana/energy

Set Bonus For Move Speed (Replace Don't Blink Augment With This)

  • Speed Demon, Kill Secured, Tap Dancer, Giant Slayer, Upgrade Hubris, Wind Beneath Blade, With Haste, Draw Your Sword, Escape Plan, Fetch (if ever re-introduced), Final Form, Homeguard, Leg Day, Poltergeist, Shrink Engine, Shadow Runner, Ice Cold (I feel like that is fitting here lowkey especially with how well it would synergize with tier 3 set bonus)
  • (2) All movement speed bonuses are 10% more effective on you
  • (3) (Don't Blink) - Deal 1% increased damage for each 10 move speed you have on the target
  • (4) Convert 20% of your flat movement speed into adaptive force.

Set Bonus For Critical (Replace Upgrade IE With This)

  • Any augment that is crit related: Jeweled Gauntlet, Twin Fire, Vulnerability, It's Critical, Critical Missile, Critical Healing, Soul Siphon, Tank It Or Leave It, Zealot, Critical Rhythm, Double Tap, Crit'N'Cast
  • (2) Gain 30% critical damage
  • (3) (Upgrade IE) Excoriate: Gain a random amount of bonus critical strike damage that scales up to 50% of your critical strike chance, with the value of this amount changing every 0.25 seconds.
  • (4) Gain 25% critical strike chance. The ratio by which critical strike chance above 100% is converted into adaptive force is tripled. So instead of getting 12 ad from 25% crit chance over 100, you get 36.

Set Bonus For Ultimate (Decapitator)

  • Ultimate Revolution, Ultimate Awakening, Ultimate Unstoppable, Final Form, Can't Touch This, Fey Magic. It's Killing Time, Stuck In Here With Me
  • (2) Gain 30% Ultimate Damage/Healing/Shielding
  • (3) Gain 50 Ultimate Haste
  • (4) Gain an additional 30% Ultimate Damage/Healing/Shielding

Set Bonus for Rune Augments:

  • Combo master (wtf happened to this btw??), Cerberus, Demon Dance, From Beginning to End, Impassable, Ketstone Conjurer, Symphony of War
  • (2) Increase rune effectiveness (healing, damage, first strike gold, range from tempo, etc) by 25%
  • (3) For each distinct tree you have in your inventory (e.g: if you had Cerberus this would be Precision and Domination), gain a full set of random minor runes from that tree. Any repeats will just give a random tree of another type.
  • (4) Increase rune effectiveness by another 50%

Replacement of Transmute Chaos With:

  • Silver Chaos (Chaotic) (Silver Augment): Gives you 2 random silver augments
  • Gold Chaos (Chaoticer) (Gold Augment): Gives you 2 random gold augments
  • Prismatic Chaos (Chaoticist) (Prismatic Augment): Gives you 2 random prismatic augments
  • These would just feel much better than getting completely screwed over by prismatic chaos giving you 2 silvers.

Fully Energized (Gold Augment) (Energy Champs Only)

  • Your energy costs are reduced by 50% and your energy regen is increased by 25%

Changes To Bread and Butter, Bread and Jam, Bread and Cheese:

  • 30% spell cost reduction on the respective spell.

Purist - Attacker

  • Gain 10% TOTAL attack speed. Convert ability haste into attack speed at the inverse ratio that Purist - Caster does. So I think that would be ~1.5% attack speed per haste

Ultimate Revolution

  • I genuinely feel like this augment needs to be looked at/changed in some way. Feels so bad to get on champs with a low ult cd like LeBlanc then having to wait 75 seconds. It also feels really bad when you already have axiom arc and get an insta triple with your R and it would have practically been reset due to axiom anyways. In this case I'm 'spending' my ultimate revolution charge refunding an R that was already 80% refunded off of Axiom.
  • It would also be really nice if Ultimate Revolution also reset the cooldown of ultimate-based augments that had a cooldown. Meaning your Ultimate Awakening, It's Killing Time, Can't Touch This, Ultimate Unstoppable, Final Form, Fey Magic, and Stuck In Here With Me cooldowns got reset as well.

King Me

  • This should be a part of the High Roller Set. Even still it feels pretty underwhelming for a prismatic. It's basically Transmute: Prismatic (a gold augment) with a super hard quest to get it and a minor buff to 1 item. This might be a hot take but I genuinely feel like King Me should teleport you to spawn and give you a brand new selection of 3 Prismatics with extra re-rolls once you are crowned king

Got that augment as LeBlanc yesterday and used my E + R double chain combo then went into stasis before the chains rooted them. Was hoping to get some heals while invulnerable but unfortunately it didn't work. I understand that ground/aoe heals get blocked by untargetability but it definitely feels like a bug that a self heal effect such as guilty pleasure wouldn't work in stasis considering Vlad R heals him, Liss R, Swain R, etc...

With ethereal weapon on Talon, you are no longer able to go invisible when you use your ultimate. The second that the blades from your R1 hit an enemy it thinks you auto'd them so you lose your stealth. Been in the game since the moment that augment got added btw. And reported multiple times through submit a ticket. Also his passive is not working with Jeweled Gauntlet.

In Arena/ARAM, with enough ability haste Zed E cooldown gets ridiculously low. Once it is low enough, it seems like the game is treating subsequent casts that occur quick enough after a previous cast to be an 'energy refund' cast that does 0 damage. I think it has to do with the fact that hitting multiple of Zed's E does no additional damage but instead slows more and restores energy. This makes it so that every other e cast does 0 damage if you spam it quick enough with enough haste/cooldown refund augments (popoffs, conduit, etc)

I've played several ARAM Mayhem games and only gotten spatula in a few of them. I finally got a game with double buffs and spatula on Akali and was excited to have near infinite energy regen but it turns out spatula is bugged? The spatula I remember in Nexus Blitz and Arena used to make it so cooldowns tick down much faster and give you a massive boost to resource regen to make up for all the negative effects it puts on you. This is even confirmed on the (albeit unofficial) wiki in 2 places: here and here.

In Aram Mayhem I can 100% confirm that you do not get increased energy regen. On top of this it also feels like the cooldowns aren't ticking down faster. I'm not 100% sure about the cooldowns but it certainly doesn't feel like they're cooling down twice as fast like they are supposed to.

But yeah the resource regen part of spatula definitely isn't working which feels bad because Spatula and Double Buffs are the only way to get energy regen in this game mode. It would be nice if there was a gold augment for reducing or removing energy costs for these champs especially if this is intentional. (As a side note, I really hope this is not intentional. Spatula as a prismatic already has so many downsides; it is a delayed prismatic that does nothing until at least 5 minutes later, and not only that but the item itself is loaded with tradeoffs such as making you take more damage and get less healing).
