League of Legends Patch 13.23 will bring back the beloved Arena Mode where 8 players can battle in a series of 2v2s. A recent datamine shows that the mode will be returning with plenty of new changes to it, as Riot Games wishes to further enhance the fun the game mode offered in the first place. All of this information was provided by /u/FrankTheBoxMonster.
Patch 13.23 Arena Cameos
Returning Cameos | Removed Cameos | New Cameos |
Sett, Pyke, Gwen | Evelynn, Jhin, Lux, Naafiri, Samira, Shaco, Viego | Sylas, Thresh |
Sylas "Great Mage Rebellion"
Sylas has broken the chains granting you access to a powerful Ultimate spell. Once cast, your spell will return to normal.
Thresh "Midnight Express"
Thresh roams the map tossing his Lantern to the furthest champion, granting a nearby champion with the lowest Health a small Shield, and allowing anyone to click it and take the Midnight Express to Thresh's location. If a single champion is downed inside the Ring of Fire, Thresh will instead move to the downed player's location and throw his Lantern to their ally. When a player is dead and their ally is outnumbered, Thresh will always throw his Lantern to that ally.

Community Thoughts
The players are absolutely enjoying the news changes that might come to Arena soon as most of the augments and items seem busted upon first look, but that will possibly lead to even crazier combos and strategies whilst the game being fun for everyone in the match.
Others are hoping for the scrapped cameos to make it into the game.
All in all, Riot Games have struck gold with this new game mode, as many players hope that it remains a permanent part of League of Legends just like ARAM.
