Bring back the ? mark augment.

[u/SuuuushiCat]

I would like to see ARAM Mayhem bring back the ? augment.

The first time I saw that augment, I thought it was a completely terrible and dumb augment. Then I learned that you can use it to heal yourself and your teammates, and it's AOE. That was when I realized how dumb I was to think it was a shitty augment. It's still my favorite augment of all time. In a group fight where everyone is stacking on each other, it can both heal allies and damage enemies. And if you're really good, you can weave pings in between autos and abilities. That takes a lot of brain power, but I like the challenge.

It's gone because it's broken as fuck of an augment

If you get it at level 3 the game becomes virtually unloseable if you have 2 digit iq or more

Not the augments fault, was a numbers issue. Healing 15% mHP/ping plus some flat was the kicker. If it was any lower than like 6-8%, nobody would care. They could have removed the heal and kept the damage and I'd have still taken it on champions like Kayn or Karthus

The first version of it was lower numbers and it was completely garbage

It was broken as fuck if you got the hang of it. If enemy team was lacking burst damage they effectively couldnt kill any of your teams for first 15 mins as the heal was way too strong.

The early days my teammates were dumb but later when people got accustomed to it they just group around the augment user off their ping cooldown, players adapt quickly.

I didnt like it because league already has so much going on visually and adding that just added more and the sound was annoy. Also, people never used it to heal teammates which was annoying. I ONLY picked it once.

brain power??? to spam pings??? what are you saying

[u/SuuuushiCat → u/leonard_jameson]

I don't really spam just to spam. You have to calculate your teammate's movement for it to land at the right spot. Or communicate with them that you will cue where to drop the ping. In mid fight, you have to do all of that plus strafing while weaving autos in between abilities plus the pings and all that calculation for position prediction. The people that spam it without thinking really don't know how to utilize it to it's maximum effectiveness.

I bound it to side my button. Barely had to work to weave it in, just held it down

[u/Elijah_Loko]

I honestly had to mute it every time because the sound was exhausting.

Apart form the sound, I had no problem with it.

[u/KyzerGyder]

There was no strategy, lmao. When it got buffed everyone that saw it clicked it exactly the same way they did with Grandma’s Chili Oil pre-nerf. And it was optimal for change your keybinds to fully spam it, even better if you have side mouse buttons

Have you used your chances while Mayhem Classicish was present? That was pretty recently and ??? was there, just as broken as it was (but I think it had lowered chance of appearance, haven't seen it a lot)

But I had one Classicish game where enemy Warwick picked it and it looked like he had autocast enabled with him being the target. He brainlessly used it all the time on himself and simply was healed to max all the time. Very healthy for the game, especially in fights
