LoL 25.11 (15.11) Patch Notes - All Changes

A lot of drastic changes were unveiled prior to 2025 as League of Legends is steadily moving towards an even more dynamic and exciting MOBA experience. Given its legacy and player base, LoL is no stranger to feedback from the community, either positive or negative, however, it is interesting to see how the devs will navigate all of the updates to both Splits, game balancing and more for Patch 25.11. 

LoL Patch Notes 25.11

The updated Masque of the Black Rose Vladimir, Masque of the Black Rose Samira, Masque of the Black Rose Renata Glasc, and Masque of the Black Rose Elise will be available May 28th, 2025.

Swiftplay Champ Select Improvement

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.

Behavioral Systems

LeaverBuster

We're adjusting LeaverBuster's calculations under the hood in order to set a higher bar for what's an acceptable level of AFKing, disconnecting, or leaving matchmade games. The tuning will still allow players who have occasional computer or internet issues to get back into good standing but habitual rage-quitters and consistent disconnectors will receive harsher penalties sooner. 

In-Game Negative Behavior

We're modifying some new rules to our “In Game Negative Behavior” detection system (also known as “Soft Inting”) in order to catch more players who should know better. 

• Reduced the thresholds specifically for higher ranked players to be detected for negative behavior.

Pride 2025

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.

Kill & Takedown SFX

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.

ARAM

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.

Brawl

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.

Bugfixes

• 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 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 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.

Skin Updates

This patch we decided to go back and deliver some meaningful updates to the Black Rose skins that were released earlier this year. We wanted to make these feel a bit more exciting to use and hope you enjoy these updates! 

Masque of the Black Rose Vladimir

• Model and texture updates.
• VFX kit updated with more of that Black Rose flavor.
• Now using the new Vlad recall.

Masque of the Black Rose Samira

• Model and texture updates.
• VFX kit updated with more of that Black Rose flavor.

Masque of the Black Rose Renata Glasc

• Model and texture updates.
• VFX kit updated with more of that Black Rose flavor.

Masque of the Black Rose Elise

• Model and texture updates.
• Entirely new VFX as it previously was just using her base VFX kit (also full of Black Rose flavor).

And that covers all of the changes in the League of Legends patch notes which you can view, here.
