Taric Owns 2v2v2v2 Arena Mode in League of Legends with Staggering Stats
Top 5 Champions to Play in Arena Mode in League of Legends
Cover-Credits:
The Arena Mode is the hottest addition to League of Legends and players have been loving this game mode since its release on 20th July. This limited-time mode (LTM) combines the features of Teamfight Tactics (TFT) and League to present a completely entertaining game mode, which is swift, high-octane, and engaging. While there are over 160 champions in League of Legends, not every one of them excels in Arena Mode. Your success in this game mode, apart from the champion you have chosen, depends on your duo’s pick, the Augments you choose, and also the items you opt for.
Having said all that, one champion has been ruling the roost in Arena mode and has already caught the attention of Riot Games and that is Taric. After having insane statistics (stats) in Arena mode, Taric has already picked up a bunch of nerfs via LoL 13.14 micropatch.
However, as it stands currently, Taric is the top champion with the highest stats in the 2v2v2v2 TDM. Here’s all you need to know about why Taric is a strong pick and what nerfs were dished out to him. Additionally, we will also see the top five champions that you can play in Arena Mode.
Taric Shines in Arena Mode, Riot Games Takes Notice
Taric is the number one champion in Arena Mode and has become a staple pick for players who are gunning to climb through the Arena Ranks. Taric, according to Blitz.gg, has a first-place average of 43%. Here are some of his other stats currently:
Top 2 Average: 66%
Average Placement: 2.08
Pick Rate: 6.5%
Ban Rate: 20.4%
These stats have been compiled from over 344K Taric appearances in this new game mode. Notably, Taric is often paired with the likes of Vayne, Jax, Fiora, Shyvana, Warwick, and Master Yi.
Top 5 Champions to Play in Arena Mode
As per the LoL Patch 13.14 data, the following are the top five champions shining in the 2v2v2v2 Arena mode and their first-place averages:
Taric (43%)
Heimerdinger (37%)
Annie (36%)
Illaoi (35%)
Warwick (32%)
What’s interesting is that Riot Games has already dished out nerfs to many of these top performers in Arena mode. The nerfs in LoL 13.14 micropatch were directed at Taric, Heimerdinger, Annie, and Illaoi.
Therefore, these stats could change drastically overnight on 22nd July given the fact that their strong suits have been nerfed.
On 22nd July, League of Legends Game Designer on the Summoners Rift Team, Madness Hero, took to Twitter and said, “Hello to all the Arena players now that we’re live! Thanks for playing! We’ve got a micropatch coming in. This won’t solve everything, but we are looking to hit the biggest offenders here and help some struggling champions/classes.”
