Colored healthbars, Poros with arms, and more are coming to ARAM Mayhem for April Fools 2026 in League of Legends.
League of Legends has a track record of making wacky changes to the game when it’s April Fools’ season, and this year is no different! Here are all the weird things you’ll see in League of Legends for April Fools 2026.
These changes go along with League of Legends patch 26.7. Read the patch notes here.
It’s not all ARAM Mayhem, though, as Summoner’s Rift players can look forward to getting pranked in-game too:
- Dearest Karthus (chance on death to summon a Karthus ult onto the enemy team)
- Shiny Minions and Monsters (chance for minions and monsters to be shiny, dropping gold coins on death which either team can pick up)
- GP5 (Gold per 5 seconds) Items, and the Lucky Urf Statue that builds from them
- Shiny Items (chance for completed items to be Uncommon, Rare, Mythic, or Legendary, gaining small stat bonuses and a shiny border)
- Hats on Takedown
- Certain Minions and Monsters have a chance to be disguised
These are only a small subset of the features; queue up to experience these and more for yourself!
Note that the April Fools changes are only available in non-ranked game modes like Swiftplay.
