Game Modes: Arena, ARAM: Mayhem, ARURF

WASD New Features:

Dynamic Camera: A New Camera that follows your mouse, with speed settings.
Scout Ahead Button: Middle mouse click to freely move your camera while in Dynamic Camera, release to snap back.
WASD Remapping: Remap your keybinds as you wish

WASD will go live in most unranked queues across all regions this patch. Draft and Ranked queues will not support WASD at this time. The developers have mentioned that they will roll out on OCE and slowly scale to all regions.

They also asserted that,

"Given WASD is still in a beta state and that we are in active iteration, the developers might disable certain queues or champions in case of a degraded player experience. In cases where we disable WASD for specific modes or champions, your keybindings will return back to Point and Click while playing those champions/playing in those queues."

For League of Legends patch 25.24, both Briar and Taliyah will have WASD disabled.

League of Legends patch 25.24 notes: Champion select

Here are the latest changes to the champion select menu:

You are no longer able to ban champions hovered by your teammates.
In patch 25.23, we introduced improvements to speed up champ select for Summoner's Rift (Solo/Duo, Flex, and Normal Draft) to 2 pilot regions in NA/OC. These improvements are now being rolled out to all regions.
