Gangplank

Adjustment

Champions · 0 changes

Hwei

Adjustment

"Hwei's currently painting L's for his opponents, especially when it's a higher skilled player holding the brush. As a champion that benefits from his flexibility to adapt to all situations we're looking to reduce how wel"

Jayce

Adjustment

Champions · 0 changes

▶

"We've got a pretty straight forward change for Jayce this patch. Last patch when we raised the attack speed cap, we missed increasing his W to match, so we're back to right that wrong."

Set Attack Speed: 2.67 ⇒ 3.0

Kalista

Adjustment

Champions · 0 changes

Kog'Maw

Adjustment

Champions · 0 changes

Mel

Adjustment

Champions · 0 changes

"Mel has been very popular both to pick and to ban. We believe Mel experiences just a little too much safety for opponents to effectively punish her due to her range and ability durations. So to correct that we're lowerin"

Nautilus

Adjustment

Teemo

Adjustment

Champions · 0 changes

"Teemo jungle has definitely gotten weaker since we all went Noxus, and the recent nerfs to his E definitely didn't do him any favors there. Since he's already in a good spot in his other positions we're giving him very s"

Monster Damage: 125% ⇒ 145%

Warwick

Adjustment

Champions · 0 changes

▶

"Warwick's actually doing just fine in the jungle, but his power in top lane is, well, over the top. We're looking to offset this difference by hitting his Q here since he maxes it first when playing top but second when i"

Mana Cost: 70/75/80/85/90 ⇒ 80/85/90/95/100

Yasuo

Adjustment

Champions · 0 changes

"Yasuo hasn't been able to find his stride recently, so we're here to put some wind behind his metaphorical sails this patch. We'd like it if Yasuo players were more willing to buy early crit chance, so we're softening hi"

Passive - Way of the Wanderer

Critical Damage Reduction: 10% ⇒ REMOVED

Abyssal Mask

Adjustment

Items · 0 changes

▶

"Though Abyssal Mask is doubly situational, both needing MR and other magic-damage teammates to synergize with, it was overbuffed at season start and doesn't need to be quite so good. We're fine with Abyssal being a fairl"

General

Magic Resistance: 50 ⇒ 45

Fimbulwinter

Adjustment

Items · 0 changes

▶

"We've had Fimbulwinter on our radar for a while. It's been a very strong item for a while, but it's been consistently overlooked, especially since not all tanks need mana. However, we're at a point now where champions wh"

General

Everlasting Shield: 100-180 (based on level) (+4.5% current mana) ⇒ 100 (+4.5% current mana) (Note: this is roughly 30% less shielding in average cases)

Heartsteel

Adjustment

Items · 0 changes

▶

"While very popular and the current poster child of frustrating tank items, we don't believe Heartsteel is actually quite as powerful as its reputation may suggest. The nerf here is meant to be fairly small as a result. T"

General

Colossal Consumption Max Health: 10% of damage ⇒ 8% of damage

Infinity Edge

Adjustment

Items · 0 changes

"ADC builds take a little bit too long to get off the ground at the moment, so we're shrinking their most-built item, Infinity Edge, in order to let them get into the rest of their build sooner."

Attack Damage: 70 ⇒ 65

Mercury Treads

Adjustment

Items · 0 changes

"After making several balance passes at level 2 boots late last year, we've gotten them to a point where they're appropriately competitive with legendary items. That said, we've got some minor balance outliers within the "

General

Price: 1300 ⇒ 1250 gold

Plated Steelcaps

Adjustment

Items · 0 changes

▶

"As Mercury's Treads are getting a bit stronger, Plated Steelcaps are getting a bit weaker, since they're currently the strongest boots in the game. This has the added benefit of being a very small buff for ADCs, which we"

General

Damage Reduction from Auto Attacks: 12% ⇒ 10%

Symbiotic Soles

Adjustment

Items · 0 changes

▶

"Symbiotic Soles are the worst-performing boots in the game for most players, so they're deserving of a buff. We're being a bit cautious here, only giving 5 move speed to the unupgraded version, but we'll keep an eye out "

General

Flat Movement Speed: 35 ⇒ 40 (Note: Evolved movement speed unchanged at 45)

Unending Despair

Adjustment

Items · 0 changes

"Unending Despair was the strongest tank item in the game before season start, but players hadn't really caught on. Now that it's generically purchasable with both armor and MR, players are flocking in and identifying tha"

Anguish: 8-15 (based on level) (+3% bonus health) ⇒ 3% of bonus health (Note: this is a 10-15% nerf to the item's damage)

Patch Naming

Expand

We initially went to 25.S1.1 with the hopes of tying patches more closely to seasons, and after a couple of patches we've realized it's not the easiest thing to communicate and wasn't really hitting the mark the way we hoped.

So this patch is 25.04, with the last patch this year being 25.24. Then come January 2026 it'll be 26.1, you get the idea. This will also tie the patch numbering to how we talk about our other events like Worlds much closer each year.

▶

Honor Revamp

Expand

As of this patch, the Honor system has been revamped to better reflect how players interact with one another. Instead of steadily progressing over a Season (unless you're penalized), your Honor now updates regularly based on your recent behavior. Our goal with these changes was to make Honor about how you show up and the positive impact you have on your teammates, not just how many games you've played. As always, we want this system to create a safer and more positive environment for everyone in the community and we believe these changes will help get us there.

Now that Honor is a more accurate evaluation of behavior, we're tying it to communication privileges and other rewards. Honor 3 now represents neutral players who aren't being disruptive or positive. All the baseline features to play and communicate with your team are available at this level. Higher levels of Honor are reserved for players who are consistently positive, respectful, and collaborative. These players are rewarded Battle Pass XP drops and benefits like visible Honor levels. At Honor 5 you'll gain access to ally-targeted pings to call for things like Dearest Karthus's ultimate. Meanwhile, Honor levels 1 and 2 indicate an active penalty on your account due to recent disruptive behavior and, as a result, access to rewards and some chat usability will be restricted.

For even more details about the system, check out the Honor FAQ here! These updates will go live on February 20th 21:00 UTC, shortly after the patch goes live.

Honor Levels: Amount of games played without penalties ⇒ Dynamic evaluation based on recent positive behavior.
Rewards & Entitlements: Based on your current Honor; more info available at Honor FAQ.
Honor Checkpoints & Seasonal Resets: Gone!
Demotion Warnings: Will notify you when your Honor is sliding to the previous level.
Honor Penalties: Game-based; The amount of matches you must play to lift the penalty is viewable in your profile the same way Ranked Restrictions are today.
Honor Tokens: Any remaining Honor 5 tokens in loot will be converted into 1050 Orange Essence at the start of patch 25.06.
Progression: Honor Orbs and Capsules have been replaced with Battle Pass XP drops.
Rewards: After 25.04, the first time you reach Honor 5 you will be permanently awarded the Three Honors Malzahar, Shen, and Akshan skins, alongside Grey Warwick and Medieval Twitch and their chromas.

ARAM

Expand

Hello ARAMers!

We have a light patch for 25.04, with a focus on Teemo. Trap-based champions have historically been difficult to balance due to ARAM's unique vision system. This time, we're giving Teemo players back more opportunities to plant shrooms while reducing their overall impact. Our goal is to maintain his champion fantasy while keeping an eye on frustration levels.

On the tank front, several tank items have been nerfed in Summoner's Rift this patch. We'll be monitoring tanks' performance in ARAM to determine whether individual adjustments are necessary. We're also working on a Sett nerf for the next patch, so stay tuned! And as always, GLHF!

Death Timers

Now that there's a hard cap on how long Swiftplay games can go, we're pulling down on late-game respawn timers so that players can more readily fight for their (Nexus's) life.

Death Timer Multiplier (minutes 10-35): 100-133% ⇒ 100-112%

Champions

Now that Yorick has a sudden death cutoff that covers up his weak endgame power COMBINED with the fact that the sudden death mechanic favors his specialty of dealing structure damage his power levels are off the charts, so we're here to bring Yorick back down to ~~Earth~~ Runeterra.
