Patch 25.07 has arrived, here’s everything you need to know.

Riot Phroxzon just announced the upcoming changes arriving in Patch 25.07 and here is an overview of all the changes arriving in the patch.

Starting off with one of the biggest changes in the patch, the LeBlanc ASU. LeBlanc is finally getting her much-needed visual update. All her skins and splashes are being redone, however, her kit remains the same as this is only a visual update.

After years of being in a mediocre spot, Yorick is finally getting some changes. He is getting a mini-rework that aims to make him more aligned with the current state of the game. In addition, Yone is also getting some major changes. His passive will no longer grant Yone a critical damage penalty but his E will no longer cleanse crowd control. It’s a decent tradeoff that should give Yone more counterplay.

There are also some buffs and nerfs arriving in this patch. Brand, Ivern, Shaco, Trundle, and other champions are getting some buffs while champions like Gwen and Naafiri are getting nerfed.

Finally, let’s talk about the skins. The April Fools skins are returning and there will be five brand new skins arriving with it.
