Arena mode in League of Legends is a fast-paced 2v2v2v2 format. Teams battle in a series of rounds until a single one, as usual, is left. Unlike the traditional Summoner's Rift, Arena mode focuses on quick skirmishes and requires players to adapt rapidly to changing situations.
Successful champions in Arena mode often possess high mobility, burst damage, and strong crowd control abilities.
The key is to secure kills and outmaneuver opponents effectively. Durability and sustainability are also crucial, as fights are continuous and relentless. Strategic use of terrain and understanding the power spikes of both allies and enemies can significantly influence the outcome of matches.

Summary
League of Legends uses diverse game modes beyond the standard Summoner's Rift. Those modes provide unusual and captivating gameplay experiences.
LoL has ARAM (All Random All Mid), where players are pitted against each other on a single-lane map, facing random champions in fast-paced and chaotic battles. Teamfight Tactics (TFT) are made so that players in strategically assembled teams of champions practice in an auto-battler mode. They must use strategic decision-making over mechanical skills.
URF (Ultra Rapid Fire) mode amplifies gameplay with drastically reduced cooldowns, resulting in fast-paced and often comical encounters. Additionally, other distinctive modes, such as One for All, where every player on a team selects the same champion, and Nexus Blitz, a fusion of PvP and PvE events, are periodically introduced into the game. They give players fresh and new ways to look at the League of Legends universe.
