Pass 2.0 and System Changes
Pass 2.0 removes the more obvious out-of-game growth advantage from the previous pass and shifts toward unlocking many augments, emotes, icons, golden refreshes, and blessing cards. The preview also mentions a wardrobe system for ARAM skins through a monthly pass on PBE; live behavior still needs confirmation.
FAQ

Q: What are the new 3.0 augments about?
They mainly revolve around selected-skill upgrades, snowball enhancements, shields and healing, scaling quests, mobility resets, and multi-target skill changes.
