ARAM, or All Random All Mid, has been one of the most popular alternate game modes in League of Legends.Not only is it an incredibly potent stress buster, but the ”random selection” mechanic helps players pick up new champions that they were previously not familiar with.Unlike URF, ARURF, and One For All, which are temporary game modes, ARAM is a permanent one and is very popular among the player base across all League of Legends regional clients.Riot Games has finally announced that the game mode will be receiving some massive VFX updates with patch 11.8, something that ARAM has not received in quite some time.In a recent tweet, VFX artist Kevin “Sirhaian” Leroy highlighted some of the tweaks that the Howling Abyss would receive in this update.Coming in 11.8 (PBE tomorrow), the Howling Abyss (ARAM) is getting a little bit of VFX love! We've cleaned up some of the older VFXs: Poro-Snaxes are cuter, and Snowball should be a bit more easy to read.More info in this thread~ 👇❄️ pic.twitter.com/1MQOf2i3e5— ✂️ Little Sirhaian Doll 🧵 (@Sirhaian) March 29, 2021Sirhaian pointed out:“Coming in 11.8 (PBE tomorrow), the Howling Abyss (ARAM) is getting a little bit of VFX love!

It should feel a bit more modern and readable. Hitting and missing are now two different effects, to make sure you know when you hit. And there's now a slight reactivation effect above the tagged target once you start dashing. pic.twitter.com/xMHvgMM2By— ✂️ Little Sirhaian Doll 🧵 (@Sirhaian) March 29, 2021PorosNew porosnax iconNew porosnax missile going from you to the closest poro in an arc, with new and cute SFX!Poros now stop and open wide when they see a porosnax coming their way, with hearts on their eyesNew cute little chomp VFX and SFX when poros receive their porosnaxNew "happy circles" hearts VFXs while poros are happy and fed, with hearts on their eyes while circling aroundAdded hearts VFXs that follow a poro forever once it is fed at least onceNew, more ceremonial poro explosion effect once they have been fed ten times and explode in several other porosAnd another small change: the respawn effect.
