New skins, chromas, bugfixes and everything else Riot shipped this patch.

Season 3 Ranked Ending Soon

Expand
The Summoner's Rift Ranked Season for Season 3, 2025 will end 2026-01-07 23:59:59, according to your local server time, which is the last day of 15.24 patch cycle.

Similar to previous years, Summoner's Rift ranked queues will be disabled for 12 hours for preparation of Season 1, 2026 start, which will begin on 2026-01-08 12:00:00 (noon) local server time at which point LP and ranks will reset for the new year.

The end of season 3 2025 also means the 2025 ranked season is coming to an end. The end of season year rewards will include not only Victorious Draven Skin and Chromas, but also accessories that celebrate your highest rank achieved during the year! Rewards will be as follows and will be distributed in patch 26.1 next year:
  • Victorious Skin Border that is compatible with all 3 Victorious Skins of 2025 (requires owning all 3 Victorious skins of the year)
  • Season 2025 Ranked Emote
  • Season 2025 Ranked Icon
We'll have more details about the 2026 ranked season in the 26.1 patch notes, but for now good luck on your end of year climbs!

WASD Launches in Limited Queues

Expand
WASD will go live in most unranked queues across all regions this patch. Draft and Ranked queues will not support WASD at this time. We will roll out on OCE, and slowly scale to all regions. Given WASD is still in a beta state and that we are in active iteration, we might disable certain queues or champions in case of a degraded player experience. In cases where we disable WASD for specific modes or champions, your keybindings will return back to Point and Click while playing those champions/playing in those queues. For 25.24, both Briar and Taliyah will have WASD disabled. When enabled again, your control scheme will default to the player selected choice.

Please make sure to report to Player Support any issues found, and to learn more about WASD, read here!

WASD will be enabled in the following queues:
  • Normals: Customs, Swiftplay, ARAM
  • Game Modes: Arena, ARAM: Mayhem, ARURF
WASD New Features:
  • Dynamic Camera - New Camera that follows your mouse, with speed settings!
  • Scout Ahead Button - Middle mouse click to freely move your camera while in Dynamic Camera, release to snap back.
  • WASD Remapping - Remap your keybinds as you wish
We will be using balance data from live to further iterate on the WASD experience, prior to considering enabling it within Ranked queues, so please let us know what you think and report any bugs! We will be continuing to release additional promised features in the next year.

Champion Select

Expand
After a successful pilot and positive player feedback following the introduction of disallowing champions allies hover from being banned as well as faster champion select timings, we're fully releasing both updates. On a similar note, the QoL improvements to speed up champ select have also been well received and, as a result, we've decided to roll them out to all regions globally.
  • You are no longer able to ban champions hovered by your teammates.
  • In patch 25.23, we introduced improvements to speed up champ select for Summoner's Rift (Solo/Duo, Flex, and Normal Draft) to 2 pilot regions in NA/OC. These improvements are now being rolled out to all regions.

Sanctum

Expand
We'll be running two Mythic Variants in the Sanctum this time around. Sunken Shadows Lucian and Nami will be joining the roster terrorizing bot lanes everywhere and will be available until patch 26.02, so if you'd like to wreck havoc in style you and your duo should check these out!

Arcane Anniversary

Expand

Arena

Expand
With the end of the year around the corner we wanted to use this holiday season to gift some champions and prismatic items in need of a little love with buffs. Along with a buff to the Demon King's Crown, it seems like the Demon King himself just keeps on winning.

ARAM Mayhem

Expand
Hello Mayhem players, and welcome to the final patch of the year!

First of all thank you for all of the enthusiasm we've been seeing around ARAM Mayhem, we've loved seeing your wacky augment combinations and clips! In this update, we're bringing in some exciting Prismatic Augments from Arena. Don't worry, they've been tuned for Mayhem's pacing to keep things fun. Some of these Augments will also be limited to one player per game to prevent stacking visual chaos, because there is a thing as too much mayhem (apparently).

We've also reworked Ultimate Awakening, keeping its core “ultimate-to-basic ability” fantasy while pushing its functionality and impact a little further. Finally, we've added two more items from Arena to support some unique playstyles and give you even more ways to express your champion's power.

See you on the Bridge, and thanks for making this year of Mayhem unforgettable!
