I like the 2026 League of Legends Worlds anthem, but it isn't the True Damage comeback I wanted

League of Legends to add five new augments, one of which is a load of bees

It's the no-pressure mode in League of Legends that took the all-action ARAM game mode and added a bunch of over-the-top augments to create something that can sometimes be beyond ridiculous. With patch 26.21, t...
