2v2v2v2 Arena Mode: Champions That Excel When the Circle Closes In

The 2v2v2v2 Arena mode has been a super duper hit since it was initially released on the public beta environment (PBE). Now that it is available on the live servers, League of Legends players have been thoroughly enjoying it. The game mode is completely reliant on good communication and synergy from the duo battling it out against other duos. While a lot of champions have turned into priority picks, there are certain champions who are extremely fun to play in this game mode. You can use their abilities to your advantage and have fun throwing enemies around. 

If you are unaware, just like how the ring closes in Battle Royales, in Arena mode, after a few mins of head-on fighting, the Ring of Fire will start to close in. If the Combat Phase does not end within 30 seconds, the ring will close in towards the battlefield’s center and rapidly damage enemies outside of it. When the ring is fully closed in, both teams have 15 seconds before the round ends in a tie.

If the battle is stale, picking these few champions will allow you to throw the enemies back outside the Ring of Fire to instantly win the round. 

Throw Your Enemies Out of the Ring in Arena Mode

Here are a few champions that have the ability to push around opponents in League of Legends and could come in handy in the Arena mode when the circle closes in:

Alistar: Alistar is one of the tankiest support champions there is in League of Legends. You can pair him with a strong mage or a marksman in Arena mode to come up with a strong duo. The best part about this champion is that you can literally head-butt the enemies and force them outside the ring.

W - Headbutt: Alistar rams into an enemy, knocking them back and dealing magic damage.

Poppy: This yordle champion is also a tank and has an ability that throws enemies into the distance. In Arena Mode, every time you have Poppy ult, you can use it to your advantage.

R - Keeper’s Verdict: Poppy channels a hammer strike that knocks enemies very far away.

Singed: Singed is a champion that we don’t often run into in League of Legends. However, he could be a pivotal pick in Arena mode given his area of effect (AOE) magic damage and the fact that he can fling enemies away.

E - Fling: Singed damages target enemy unit and flings them into the air behind. If the target Singed flings lands in his Mega Adhesive (R), they are also rooted.

Likewise, Jayce in his melee hammer stance can push enemies away with his E - Thundering Blow.

This tactic may not work all the time and you should bear in mind that there is another opponent to deal with. Being the tank, if you focus on pushing away an enemy, there’s a high chance for your carry to get killed without your assistance. However, pushing away enemies is fun and it could keep the Arena mode engaging and filled with banter.
