Patch 25.18 Notes

In this patch we're celebrating T1's 2024 World Championship run with their World's Winners skins! Created in partnership with our champions, we've created five skins to honor Zeus, Oner, Faker, Gumayusi, and Keria's incredible performances last year. Keep an eye out for custom recalls including easter eggs inspired by these players like Zeus' trophy mishap and Gumayusi's good croissant!

These skins will be available throughout patch 25.18 and 25.19, either by themselves or in our Signature and Mega bundles.

• Signature Editions: Includes champion skin, player's signature border and icon, elite chroma, T1 ward, and the champion (if not already owned).
• Mega Bundle: Includes all champion skins, all player's signature borders and icons, all elite chromas, T1 Ward, golden T1 World Champions icon, and all champions (if not already owned).
• Note: The T1 Ward and champions are 50% off if acquired through the bundles.

Also coming this patch is our 2024 World Championship Sylas Prestige skin celebrating Faker's MVP performance! Prestige T1 Sylas, alongside the matching border and icon, will be in the featured section of the Mythic Shop for 150 ME for two patches (25.18 & 25.19). After this run Sylas will exit the shop and enter the biweekly rotation, but without the icon and border included.

---

In recent years, we've updated borders on higher-rarity skins to better match their themes, with Mythic Shop Prestige skins being an exception. Going forward, we're exploring bringing thematic borders to Mythic Shop Prestige skins as well, starting with Sylas.

League is a game that's at its best and highest quality when both teams have a fair shot at winning, and we want to make that a reality when you load into each game. But that doesn't happen when there are people out there who purposefully make games they're in worse by griefing, inting, smurfing, or verbally abusing others—just to name a few.

As we mentioned back in August, this sort of behavior is not, and has never been, welcome in League and we're going to be cracking down on it.

A few days ago we started rolling out bans for purchased and botted accounts and starting in this patch we'll be rolling out bans and other punishments for accounts that our systems flag as having been used for boosting and hitchhiking, common forms of smurfing. It won't be all at once though, we'll roll out these penalties over time so that we can ensure that our Player Support organization can address any appeals in a timely manner.

While we're very confident in the accuracy of our detection systems, if you believe you were wrongfully banned please reach out to our player support team here!

We kept an eye on your feedback about the jungle timers and updated death recap we introduced last patch and now we're back to make some adjustments. Thank you for all the feedback and please keep it coming so we can keep making League the best it can be!

• Death recap has received visual polish.
• Death recap can now be moved anywhere on the screen or redocked to the corner.
• Re-added the damage type pie chart that shows the proportion of physical, magical, and true damage that you took. Hover for a full damage type breakdown.
• Shortly after 25.17 launched, we hotfixed jungle timers providing full information about a camp's respawn time immediately on gaining vision of it. Now, you gain timer information 10 seconds before respawn for basic camps or 60 seconds for buff camps which is consistent with how it worked before.

Your Shop is coming back this patch, but with a special surprise! In this appearance of your shop you'll have the chance of a Legendary skin to appear in your discounted offerings so make sure you check it out!

It'll be here until October 7th so make sure you stop by before then.

Map Rotations

Due to popular request, we're going to be keeping the ARAM rotations from the Season 2 ARAM updates. This means that for the foreseeable future Butcher's Bridge and the Koeshin's Crossing are here to stay! Each map will now have an equal chance of appearing each time you go into an ARAM game.

---

Free-to-Play Pool

We're updating the free to play list in ARAM to contain the last 5 rotations (previous 4 added with the current week) of the Summoner's Rift rotation.

• The ARAM free to play list is no longer a static list of 65, it will instead be the combined last 5 weeks of Summoner's Rift free-to-play champion rotations. This means you'll typically have over 95 champions made available per game from now on.
• NOTE: The chances of obtaining a third card in champion select is unchanged, it will continue to only count champions that you own.

In case you missed the news, the first three patches in Doom Bots' run will all activate a different Trial of Doom. In the last patch, all three Trials will be reactivated so you have one last chance to get those wins. If you can defeat all of Veigar's Trials, you'll earn the title "Definitely Not a Bot", which we really want, so we'll see you there! The first trial was Veigar's Evil where every bot got Veigar's Phenomenal Evil passive. The second trial is... drumroll please...

Trials of Doom - Veigar's Curse!

In Veigar's Curse, Bots are buffed to just below the level of the Hard queue, and the level cap for players and Doom Bots is raised to 30. The Bots will gain 100% bonus experience from all sources. Players can do the same... if they buy Veigar's Talisman of Ascension! This item offers 100% increased experience, but no stats. If you make it to level 30, Veigar's Talisman will transform into something much more powerful!

In addition, more minions will also spawn in all lanes from partway through the game. Finally, Veigar's attacks might burn a little more in this Trial, as we've given him Liandry's Torment.

So, figure out your strategy, and pick your Champion. How are you getting to level 30? Can you survive, one item down?

Veigar's Curse will be live on September 10th at 8:00 AM PT (or September 10th at 15:00 UTC).
