Lol New Patch (25.11)

Hey hey, we’re back with another patch drop — and this time it’s got some juicy Brawl balance tweaks!

First up, Garen’s getting a gameplay update (League of legends 25.11 Patch Notes. We’re shifting him away from those crazy burst crit builds and making his fighter setups actually work and feel good. So yeah, no more one-shotting everything… well, not as easily anyway.

Of course, we’ve got the usual balance tweaks too — fixing some stuff we went a little too hard on last time and buffing some of the weaker champs who really needed it.

Oh, and Swiftplay Champion Select? It’s getting some sweet quality-of-life upgrades — picking your champ and seeing your teammates’ runes is gonna be smoother and clearer.

On the behavioral side, we’re tightening things up. Habitual leavers? They’re about to get hit with harsher punishments. Plus, our detection system is leveling up to catch sneaky high-skill players who try to dodge the rules.

Now, flipping over to the Brawl stuff — we’ve got a loooong list of balance changes covering almost every champ. Some buffs, some nerfs, some tweaks — and even a fix for that weird strat where people were killing minions from base? Yeah, that was wild. Check it all out below!

What’s new in this new patch?

Quick rundown of the biggest changes coming your way.

The revamped Masque of the Black Rose skins for Vladimir, Samira, Renata Glasc, and Elise are dropping on May 28th, 2025.

Mark your calendar — they’re coming soon!

---

The live date for patch 25.11 just got shifted.

Heads up — because Monday the 26th is a holiday in the US, we’re pushing the 25.11 live date back by a day to keep things smooth with our usual rollout schedule.

So, 25.11 will drop on May 29th at the usual times for your region.

Easy, right?

---

Swiftplay Champ Select Upgrade

Before, you couldn’t see teammates’ keystone runes when hovering over their icons in Swiftplay. Now in 25.11, you can!

Plus, we’re adding two champ sorting filters so finding your faves is quicker and easier.

• You can now sort champs by “mastery” and “favorite.”

• Also, see your premade teammates’ keystone runes in champ select.

---

Behavior stuff updates

LeaverBuster’s getting smarter.

We’re raising the bar on what counts as okay AFK, disconnects, or leaving games.

If you just have the occasional glitch, no worries — you’ll be fine.

But if you’re a chronic rage-quitter or always dropping out, get ready for tougher penalties, and faster.

In-Game Negative Behavior

We’re tweaking the “In-Game Negative Behavior” system — yeah, the one for soft inting.

Basically, it’s getting better at catching players who should really know better.

For higher-ranked players, the bar’s getting lower — easier to spot bad behavior there.

---

Pride 2025

It’s our fifth year celebrating Pride Month — and the eighth year sharing cool in-game icons, homeguard trails, emotes, and more.

For 2025, we’ve got a brand-new free emote plus some fan-fave Pride items making a comeback.

Don’t miss out — grab them before the event wraps with patch 25.13!

We’ve got a fresh Rainbow Warpaint emote waiting for you the second the patch drops.

No missions, no Blue Essence — just one click, and it’s yours during the event.

Also, play 3 games with friends and snag some Battle Pass XP with a special mission.

Wanna know more about the whole Pride celebration in League and TFT? Check out the article we dropped on it.

Kill & Takedown SFX

Like we said in the Season 2 dev update — Kill & Takedown sound effects are finally here!

These slick sounds make those hype League moments even sweeter.

And don’t worry, only you get to hear them.

Plus, when you rack up multi-kills, the sounds get louder and crazier — basically your own hype squad cheering you on as you chase that Pentakill.

• Kill & Takedown SFX added.

• Also, tweaked some sound sliders — you can now adjust the new SFX volume with the “Notifications & UI” slider.

---

---

Champions

We want Aatrox to actually feel good with classic fighter items like Black Cleaver.

Now that we have more ways to balance fighter vs lethality builds, we’re switching his W damage back to physical — so he can use more fighter gear like Black Cleaver.

He’s currently ruling top lane, so we’re dialing down some of his strengths.

Landing those Q sweet spots is gonna matter more now — both for damage and healing.

---

---

---

---

Annie’s tweaks worked — she’s now a solid burst mage who leans on landing spells to deal damage.

But her laning phase still feels a little weak, and late game’s a bit too strong.

These new changes chill her power down just a bit overall, but give her laning way more punch early on.

Base Stats

• Base Armor (level 1): 19 ⇒ 23
• Armor Growth: 4.7 ⇒ 4

---

---

Unlike other marksmen like Caitlyn, Ashe’s Q didn’t stack on structures — even though it could still damage them.

That led to some weird gameplay moments.

Now, letting her stack Q on structures should make sieging towers feel way more natural and satisfying.

---

---

Cho’Gath got a bit too beefy with the recent changes, so we’re dialing him back just a little.

Base Stats

• Armor Growth: 5 ⇒ 4.5

---

---

Since the AP item changes, Diana’s killing it mid but having a tougher time in jungle.

We’re boosting her clear speed a bit so she can keep up now that early Fated Ashes isn’t her go-to anymore.

---

---

Elise’s been thriving thanks to the mage item changes, especially up in the elite ranks.

This tweak aims to slow down her clear speed a bit when she’s snowballing, and tone down her PvP damage over time.

---

---

We’re tweaking Garen to make his fighter playstyle actually work better.

The big changes? Judgment’s cooldown is down so he can hang in fights longer, and Courage’s active is stronger to help him soak more damage.

To balance things out, he’s losing some burst — less crit chance on E and less overall damage on R.

We want fighter builds to be Garen’s best bet, since right now they’re kinda weak.

---

---

---

---

We’re not loving how Kassadin’s power spikes right now.

Early game feels kinda rough for most players, but if he gets to 30 minutes, he’s way too strong.

We’re aiming to smooth out that curve so he’s not such a rollercoaster — but still keeping level 16 as a real power high point.

Base Stats

• Base Armor (Level 1): 19 ⇒ 21

---

---

---

Lucian’s been running the bot lane show for a while now.

He’s supposed to be strong early, but right now he’s just a bit too good at snowballing those early leads.

---

---

Rengar’s like a cat chasing ADCs instead of dogs chasing cars — but problem is, he can’t chase as much as he wants.

Even with low pickrate, he’s been one of the top Axiom Arc users, showing he’s hungry for more hunts.

So we’re giving his ult a jungle-focused cooldown buff to help him snowball harder from the jungle.

---

---

Ryze took a hit from recent item changes and could use a little help.

We’re boosting his power around level 6 so he can get out there and start making plays.

---

---

---

Sivir’s scaling is solid, but early game feels rough.

We’re giving her W bounces a bit more punch to help her out early on.

---

---

---

Samira’s stats look okay, but she really needs kills in lane to shine and can struggle in teamfights if she’s behind.

We’re boosting her lifesteal synergy so she can try builds that aren’t just max damage, while dialing back her burst combo a bit to balance it out.

---

---

---

---

Even though Smolder’s supposed to be a scaling dragon, his early game has been pretty strong.

We’re pulling back some of that early comfort so enemy poke hits harder and sticks around more.

Base Stats

• Base Armor (Level 1): 26 ⇒ 24
• Base Health Regen (Level 1): 4.5 ⇒ 3.75

---

---

Twisted Fate’s been a bit underwhelming since the RoA changes.

These tweaks aim to boost his early game and make his wave clear feel smoother.

---

---

AP Twitch has been rough for a while.

We’re not trying to make AP Support Twitch a thing, but there’s room to roll back a past nerf while we adjust AP items — then we’ll see where he stands after that.

---

---

Right now, AD Udyr with maxed Q is making a comeback, while R-focused Udyr builds are kinda falling behind.

We’re aiming to buff Phoenix Udyr so he can keep up, especially rewarding him for landing those R stance attacks.

---

---

ITEMS

Horizon Focus got some new mage fans but feels a bit weak overall.

We’re giving it some straight-up buffs to make sure Horizon stays attractive.

---

---

ARAM

Hey ARAM fans, in this patch we’re giving ADCs a little love to bring back some of their late-game damage punch.

For mages — especially Seraphine — we’re shifting power from her support tools to her damage spells.

Sett’s still pretty strong, so we’re nerfing his W a bit more to give enemies a better shot in fights.

As always, we want to hear what you think about pulling back on extra champ nerfs.

We’re listening and tweaking as we go. GLHF!

BRAWL

We kicked off Brawl with just a few balance tweaks to get a feel for things, and honestly, it’s awesome seeing so many of you having fun in Bandlewood.

A lot of you asked for more champ balance, so we’re dropping a big update to make sure all classes and champs feel good in Brawl.

Right after launch, we dropped a hotfix to fix the most and least powerful champs (you’ll find those notes below), and now we’re smoothing out the rest — tweaking outliers and adjusting cooldowns for champs whose numbers didn’t quite fit shorter matches.

You shouldn’t have to save your ult forever ’cause you only get a few uses per game — especially champs with global ults don’t need crazy long cooldowns on a map way smaller than Summoner’s Rift.

---

Surrender timers and long-range minion clearing

So, last week we saw a team actually win a game from inside their base.

Funny, sure — but also kinda wild, so yeah, we’re fixing that now.

We didn’t want to flood Brawl with rules right off the bat — better to see what happens first, right?

Finding these wild moments is part of the fun anyway!

This patch, we’re making changes so no more base-winning shenanigans. Should barely affect players who just wanna play normally.

Also, we’re tweaking the surrender timer to 15 minutes.

That way if a game drags on way too long, teams can bail out without getting stuck.

• 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.
