Patch 25.20 Notes

Welcome to the official patch of the 2025 League of Legends World Championship! As most of our pro-focused changes came in the last patch, we're taking great care to ensure this patch's changes jive with both pro players and the rest of us at home. As a result, we're delivering some buffs for champions who underperform when comparing experienced players to experienced players of other champions, some nerfs to long-term overperformers in lower skill brackets, and a set of adjustments aimed at buffing or nerfing pro power without affecting overall win rates for Normal and Ranked play.

---

• To celebrate World's we're bringing a bit of it to the Rift with World's themed decor including the all new Summoner's Cup, drop by the top lane to check it out!
• Trials of Twilight Xin Zhao will be this year's Esports rev share skin! Riot will allocate a portion of the proceeds to the Global Revenue Pool, which directly supports leagues and teams in the LoL Esports ecosystem.
• 60 brand new team emotes will be released in this patch at 350 RP each, make sure to find your favorite teams (or memes) and pick them up before they go away in patch 25.23.
• Let everyone on the Rift know who you're rooting for by picking up a 2025 team icon for 250 RP. Equipping them will add your teams' three letter acronym to the front of your in-game name so you can rep your favorite team.

Griefing in high MMR games is a problem we see pretty consistently that ruins games for players, specifically for pros, streamers, or content creators.

Sure it's cool to get into a game with your favorite streamer or pro, but what isn't cool are the players that run it down in these players' games to get a cheap laugh, camping these player's lanes, or just generally altering how you play because of a high profile player in your game. This absolutely isn't something we're okay with, so we've built an upgraded streamer mode in partnership with our creators and pros to protect against negative actions like these.

In practice, our new and improved streamer mode will have three modes of anonymity that you can opt into. They are as follows:

---

• Hide Other Names: This will hide players' game names on your screen only. Your identity will still be visible to other players in game.
• Hide My Name: This will hide your RiotID and Game Name to all other players in champ select, in game, and in third party apps, but your account progression (Mastery Score, Challenges, Title, Profile Pic, Ranked Border, etc.) will still be visible.
• Hide My Everything: This will hide your RiotID, Game Name, and all of your account progression to all other players in champ select, in game, and in third party apps. If you're looking to be anonymous then this is the mode you'll want to select.

In situations where your "teammate" bans your champion we see higher report rates, lower win rates, and a reported overall worse experience. In this patch we're experimenting with removing the ability to ban your ally's hovered champion to help alleviate these negative interactions. We'll be watching how this change goes and listening to your feedback before making a call on whether we revert this change or roll it out worldwide, so please let us know what you think!

---

• In Normal Draft, Ranked, and Arena (or any other queue with a ban phase), you can no longer ban a champion an ally is hovering.

Welcome to the final patch of this activation of Doom Bots! For those keeping track, all three Trials of Doom will be live in this patch. It also means this is your last chance to get a win in each and earn the title "Definitely Not a Bot". We've still got a couple Trials to master ourselves, so we'll see you there!

What's up Arena gamers? In this patch, we are continuing to address outlier champions while paying specific attention to stat checkers that were simply too strong. Additionally, we are showing love to some of our poke champions that have been struggling to perform and made some changes to make our items more consistent with Summoner's Rift. We have nerfed some stronger augments such as Mad Hatter and Gamba Anvil as well. To the Arena!
