League of Legends patch 26.7 is adding the fun to ARAM Mayhem. With a number of April Fool’s Day-specific changes coming to the popular twist on ARAM. The patch will also make a number of balance changes to the game mode, though only one champion change this time around, and that’s for Shyvana.
The update will go live on April 1st, alongside patch 26.7, so strap in for a few weeks of chaos on the ARAM Mayhem bridge.
Champion Changes
Fury Generation: 1.25 ⇒ 2.5
Gameplay & Systems Updates
- This patch focuses on reducing frustration around Augments and champion quality of life.
- For Poro Blaster, we’ve adjusted its knockback behavior to be less punishing for melee champions. It will now only knock back once when you have 5 Poros, and we’ve reduced the respawn timer to keep the action flowing. We’ve also made a small adjustment to Void Rift to make its periodic damage less overwhelming.
Augment Changes
Poro Blaster
- (NEW) Knocks back enemies once only when you have 5 poros.

Void Rift
- Added 0.75-second cooldown per target.
