Patch 25.11 Notes

Due to it being a holiday on Monday the 26th in the US, the 25.11 Live date has been pushed back a day to account for our usual rollout schedule!

25.11 Will go live on May 29th at the usual times in your respective regions.

Previously, when hovering on teammates' icons in swiftplay lobby, players could not view their keystone rune selected (but could view their champ selected, skin, spells, etc). So in 25.11 we are adding this functionality so players are able to view teammates' keystone runes.

We're also adding 2 champion sorting filters to the Swiftplay champ select hud so you can easily find your favorite champions a little bit easier/faster.

---

• Players are able to sort champions by "mastery" and "favourite".
• Players are now able to view premade teammates' keystone runes.

It's our fifth year celebrating Pride month, and the eight year now of sharing the in-game icons, homeguard trails, emotes, and more. For 2025 we have a new free emote, and we're bringing back some of your favorite Pride items from the past. Don't miss out on enjoying this before the event ends with patch 25.13. We have a new Rainbow Warpaint emote that you can claim immediately on the patch going live. No mission or Blue Essence needed. Simply claim it with a single click during the event. We also have a mission that will reward you with some Battle Pass experience for playing 3 games with friends.

To learn more about the event and how we're celebrating for both League of Legends and TFT check out the article we released on it.

As mentioned in the Season 2 dev update, Kill & Takedown SFX are here! These sweet sound effects spice up League's most satisfying moments. These will play for your ears only. On multi-kills, the sounds will escalate to serve as your own personal hype squad as you chase that Pentakill.

---

• Added Kill & Takedown SFX.
• Misc. adjustments to sound option sliders. The volume of the new SFX can be adjusted with the “Notifications & UI” slider.

Hello ARAMers, in this patch, we're taking another look at ADCs to restore some of their late-game damage potential. For mages—particularly Seraphine—we're shifting power toward her damage spells rather than her supportive tools. Sett as well continues to perform strongly, so we're further reducing power from his W, giving opponents more room to react in fights.

As always, we'd love to hear how you're feeling about the recent direction of removing extra nerfs from champions. We'll keep listening and tuning as we go. GLHF.

ARAM Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where Garen's W tooltip was displaying incorrect numbers.
• Fixed a bug where Shaco's R clone was spawned with an extra VFX.
• Fixed a bug where Snowball was unusable after using Aurora's R to kill a target.

We launched Brawl with minimal balance changes in order to understand the mode's balance needs, and we're thrilled to see so many players having a blast in the Bandlewood. We've also seen a lot of requests for champion balance, and we're excited to deliver a major balance update to help ensure that all classes and champions feel viable in Brawl. We released a hotfix shortly after launch to address the most and least powerful champions (notes included further down), and now we're further balancing outlier champions and boosting cooldowns for champions whose numbers didn't make sense in a shorter match. You shouldn't feel like you have to save your ultimate because you can only use it a few times a match, and especially champions with global ultimates don't need such long cooldowns when the map is smaller than Summoner's Rift.

Surrender Time and Long Range Minion Extermination

Something we observed this past week was a comp who managed to win a game from inside their base. While very funny and something we thought might happen at some point, we figured we should fix it now that it's been found out. We wanted to hold off on adding a bunch of rules immediately to Brawl before seeing what was possible, rather than make a bloated rulebook from the jump. Also it's fun to discover and find these things! We're making some changes to this patch so this should no longer be possible, and we expect these changes to have minimal impact on players who are playing the mode normally.

We're also adding a change to the surrender timer by setting it to 15 mins. This should provide a failsafe for teams if a game is ever feeling like it's being held hostage long past where a usual Brawl game ends.

• Surrender Timer: 60:00 ⇒ 15:00
• You now deal greatly reduced damage to minions if you've spent too long in your base. This debuff can be easily removed by leaving your base, but will be reapplied more quickly afterward to prevent abuse.

• Fixed an issue where Fiddlesticks's Q could not be applied again to the same target as soon as it came off cooldown.
• Fixed an issue where Naafiri's Passive dogs could run around the map globally. This did prompt us to ask “What da dawgs doin?”
• Fixed an issue where Naafiri's R would not be blocked by Azir's R.
• Fixed an issue where champions under… weird… circumstances could gain an infinite amount of XP. (Yes we saw the video too)
• Fixed an issue where the Death Spectate feature was not available in Practice Tool, Swiftplay, and certain game modes.
• Fixed an issue where the Rift Herald would sometimes walk to the closest enemy structure and charge at it after failing to hit anything from the controlled charge.
• Fixed an issue where Sixth Sense could trigger while dead. We didn't see this twist coming either.
• Fixed an issue where Nimbus Cloak wouldn't activate after a long teleport.
• Fixed an issue where chat pings could show an incorrect bounty instead of the actual bounty on the scoreboard.
• Fixed an issue where some champions' Critical Strikes could go through Blind.
• Fixed an issue where the Rift Herald could auto charge through terrain but not damage the tower. Rift Herald will now respect all walls, even ones you make.
• Fixed an issue where Kraken Slayer would create a redundant debuff icon.
• Fixed an issue where if a dead player disconnected and reconnected the Death Screen UI would be invisible.
• Fixed an issue where Yasuo would do excessive damage to K'Sante when he is in his R and has Aftershock.
• Fixed an issue where if Vi had Guardian Angel and was killed during her R the R would not be interrupted.
• Fixed an issue where Sion's Q and Briar's E could be cancelled by attack moves.
• Fixed an issue where you could ignore the ARAM Low Priority Queue after AFKing and remaking the game.
• Fixed an issue where the ghostly outline of Pyke's W would fail to appear when damage was taken while camouflaged.
• Fixed an issue where Kled could be executed by Collector while mounted if the killing blow would exceed his total combined HP.
• Fixed an issue where Zilean's second Q timer on the same target wouldn't have a countdown SFX.
• Fixed an issue where Mordekaiser's Q would cast toward the mouse location and not the direction he's facing if he's displaced.
