Features

This map is similar to Summoner's Rift, with the following exceptions:

Archivo:ProvingGrounds.png

• There is only a single lane.
• Your champion starts at level 3 - affording them increased base stats and 3 skill points.
  • Azir is the exception, as he starts with 1 point in Arise! and has 2 points to spend.
• There are only two turrets protecting the inhibitor inhibitor.
• There is a global aura that reduces all outgoing heals by 50%, gives experience over time, and 0.15% of maximum mana per second. The healing reduction does not affect self-heals.
• Each team's shop "closes" when the player moves to far away (just beyond the nexus turrets), preventing them from purchasing items indefinitely. The shop will only reopen if the player dies.
• The fountain does not restore Health or Mana.
• Recall is disabled.
• There are 4 unique Health Relics (Howling Abyss) for this map positioned in the lane.

Exclusive Items

Exclusive Spells

• Mark / Dash
  • On Howling Abyss, both components of the spell use a Snowball asset.
  • On Butcher's Bridge, the Mark projectile is an orange while the Dash projectile is a substantially sized boat.

Reroles

• In matchmade games, players can reroll their randomly assigned champion using Reroll Credits. A player can have up to 2 Reroll Credits and Credits are unlocked by earning 200 ARAM points, which they will earn every time they finish a matchmade ARAM game (based on the number of champions that they own).
  • If the game dodges, Reroll Credits will be refunded. This is unless you are the player that dodged the game.

Aspect improvements

• In matchmade games, players can purchase a Skin Boost during champion select for 95 Riot Points that grants every player on their team a one-game only skin, chosen at random, for the champion that they're using that game. Additionally, the benefactor earns 200 bonus IP from that game while their teammates get 100 .
  • If the game dodges, the RP is refunded.
  • If a player rerolls or trades, they will receive a new skin at random. TEST PENDING: If you trade back for a champion you previously owned, you will receive the same skin as you did previously - trading cannot be used to reroll skins.

  • Spells are replaced by Poro Toss/Poro Dash and To the King!
  • By tossing poros and tagging enemies 10 times, you summon 20px The Poro King who has an area heal for teammates and area attack of poros for the enemies. By having him on the field, players that summoned him can easily dash to him.
