On Patch 16.12, Riot made lots of changes to the ARAM Mayhem Game Mode. These changes brought a completely new take to this game mode, adding over 50 new Augments, removing sets, and removing another 30+ Augments.
While I personally think they took the wrong approach and basically ruined this game mode for me, here is a breakdown of all the major changes to ARAM Mayhem. Here at Mobalytics, we have created an ARAM Mayhem Tier List, which includes all the new Augments. I recommend you read it to know what Augments are good and bad, and what you should take/avoid!
For those who have not played ARAM Mayhem before, you start with 1 Augment at level 3, then you get more Augments at levels 7, 11 and 15. You can choose the next Augment the next time you die.
