The world of eSports is constantly evolving, and the latest addition to this dynamic landscape is the Arena Mode in League of Legends. This new game mode, a fusion of Teamfight Tactics (TFT) and League of Legends was launched on July 20th, 2023, as part of the grand Summer Event: Soul Fighter. The Arena Mode has been met with great enthusiasm by players, who are keen to showcase their competitive prowess and climb the ranks of the leaderboard.
In the Arena Mode, players form teams with friends or solo queue comrades to engage in a series of 2v2 battles. Upon entering the game, players are equipped with potent Augments that modify their champion’s gameplay and can purchase familiar items. Like TFT, each team possesses collective health that diminishes each time they lose a round. A team is ousted when their collective health falls to zero, while the last team standing with health emerges as the winner.
Interestingly, once a team is eliminated, the duo can exit the game early and promptly queue up for another match. Riot Games has stated, “In order to make this game mode appeal to both types of players, we drew some inspiration from our neighbors on TFT and added a ladder that players can climb like they have in Hyper Roll.”
How To Check Arena Mode’s Ranked Leaderboard In LoL?
The ranking system in Arena Mode is straightforward. The ranks, in ascending order, are as follows:
- Wood
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Gladiator
Teams earn points by finishing in the top two and lose points by ending up in the bottom two. However, Riot Games has incorporated loss mitigation for the first five games, so players need not worry about immediate wins.
Just like in League of Legends, where players in the Apex tiers can be seen on a live-ranked ladder, Arena Mode also features a ranked ladder. Here’s how you can check the top Arena Mode players in your region:
- Launch the League of Legends client.
- Navigate to your ‘Profile’ tab, which will default to the ‘Overview’ page.
- Click on ‘Ranked’ on the top menu bar next to ‘Match History’.
- A ‘drop-down’ menu will appear with ‘Top Solo/Duo players’ written. Click on it and scroll until you find ‘Arena Mode’.
- Click on the ‘Top Arena Players’ option, and you will find the players in the Gladiator tier.
Riot Games aims to make Arena a fantastic summer event mode and has expressed the possibility of bringing back an upgraded version of the mode in the long term. Currently, the Arena Mode will be available on the client until the end of the Summer 2023 event, which concludes on August 28th.
