Patch 25.10 has arrived. Here’s everything you need to know.

Riot just revealed the upcoming changes arriving in the Patch 25.10, and there are a lot of changes.

Starting with the ones in this patch, the changes to AP itemization. AP items have been quite strong for a while, especially items with innate survivability. Items like Rod of Ages, Liandry’s Torment, and Seraph’s Embrace have been dominating the meta. Which is why Riot is nerfing them. However, Riot is also buffing items for burst mages. Items like Deathcap, Lichbane, and Luden’s Companion are getting some much-needed buffs.

Along with the AP item changes, there are some champion changes as well. Cho’Gath, Senna, and Smolder are getting buffed. On the other hand, strong champions like Fiddlesticks, Xin Zhao, and Lulu are getting nerfed.

In addition to these changes, there are plenty more that we haven’t covered. So, without further ado, let’s look at the Patch 25.10 changes.
