Back in 2021, there was a /dev post about the State of Game Modes. It was about the current new game mode, Ultimate Spellbook, as well as some other older game modes and why they aren't coming back. But the ending of that post mentions this:

A unique game mode where champions will be amplified!

Now nobody probably paid attention to that, I myself found out about it only about a year later, but it got me SO excited. I love TFT's augments, and a way to amplify a champion? Yes please!

It's very clear that Arena started its development as early as October 2021, so it's been under wraps for almost 2 years before it came live. That's a lot.

When they finally revealed the Arena, I got BEYOND excited. Just seeing the footage I instantly knew this is gonna be a game mode I will spam every chance I get to play League. And I do, it did not disappoint me.

Sure Arena has problems, like the constant spam of champions who are arguably too br

The game mode itself could feature limited different versions of it instead of the actual Arena being a limited game mode. We could get limited-time 1v1v1v1 or 3v3v3v3 options, there could be a Normal vs Ranked modes for less try-harding on normals. Also, since the game mode is often criticized due to the spam of champs like Heimer/Shaco, it could feature a Random Champion pick. about Arena, and he suggested having an iteration where one champion is randomly selected, and the other person picks their champ. It would add an interesting variety to the game and how well two players can coordinate with what they've got.

Some of the most popular gaming laptops fall under the Acer Nitro and Acer Predator brands, with several different monitors, desktops, and peripheral devices also being sold under these brands. The Nitro series is known for offering good performance for its price range, whereas the Predator series offers superior technology.

Most people struggle to pick between the two brands because several of the laptops from both series share similar price tags and specs. With some of the models containing very high-end components, it's important that you pick the right machine. So in this article, we're going to explore these two popular gaming laptop series.

Acer Nitro

The Acer Nitro is a series of budget gaming computers that first launched in 2017 and that is marketed to gamers looking for high-performance machines at a reasonable price point.

The series was introduced with the Nitro 5 laptop, which featured a 2.50-GHz Intel Core i5-7300HQ, a 4-GB NVIDIA® GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, and 8 GB of DDR4 SDRAM. Since 2017, Acer has released several iterations of the Nitro gaming laptop series, including the Nitro 7, 16, and 17. Acer also has a wide range of gaming monitors and a desktop machine under the Nitro brand.

Predator's "It Lies Within" website even won the prestigious Webby awards in 2023 for its impressive design.

There are currently two laptop families under Predator: Triton and Helios. Triton is lightweight, slim, and sleek, designed for gamers and prosumers who are always on the go, whereas the Helios series consists of midrange and premium laptops with stellar specs that can replace desktop computers. Predator also covers a series of monitors that deliver exceptional visual fidelity and can support games with the most demanding conditions, with refresh rates of up to 360 Hz.
