Arena Mode Item Adjustment

In the Arena game mode, Riot has fixed a tooltip issue involving the item Eternal Hunger.

The item description previously stated that it granted Attack Damage based on Ability Haste, when the intended effect was actually the opposite—Ability Haste scaling based on Attack Damage. The correction ensures the tooltip now accurately reflects the item’s functionality when obtained through an Item Anvil.
