League of Legends 2025 Patch 25.S1.1 Notes: New Changes, Release Date, and More

League of Legends Season 2025 is arriving soon, here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming season.

Riot is going all out with the Season 2025 changes. From, new items to new monsters and even a brand new map, there are a ton of changes to talk about, so let’s get started.

Let’s start with one of the most noticeable changes, the Map changes. In alignment with the Season 2025, we are getting a Noxus-themed map. Turrets, Inhibitors, and even the Nexus will now have Noxian architecture. In addition, Nexus Turrents will now respawn after a certain time, thus making defending after Open Nexus much easier.

In tandem with the Noxus theme, Riot we’ll be bringing to Summoners Rift a brand new Epic Monster. Atakhan, an ancient demon of bloodshed and violence will spawn at 20 minutes in the river near either the Top or Bottom lane. He spawns on the side that has seen the most champion damage and kills in the previous 14 minutes.

Moreover, four new runes will be added to the game, replacing four of the existing runes. These are Axiom Arcanist, Deep Ward, Sixth Sense, and Grisly Mementos. There will also be novel items, adjustments to existing ones, and more. Battle Pass system and Ranked will also be overhauled. There are also many more changes to cover, so without further ado, let’s get into the nitty-gritty.
