LoL 25.12 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 25.12.

Hall of Legends

Every year, LoL Esports inducts a pro player into the Hall of Legends to honor their achievements within the sport and game. Players are chosen by an independent voting panel of esports industry veterans and experts from every region who select players based on criteria including international berths, international and regional titles, role-specific stats, and overall contributions to the sport.

This year, we’re proud to welcome Jian "Uzi" Zihao as the second inductee into the Hall of Legends, an honor reserved for the most legendary players in League of Legends Esports history. Known for his unparalleled skill as a bot laner, dedication to the game, and lasting influence on the global esports scene, Uzi’s induction is a testament to his remarkable career and contributions to the sport. 

Widely hailed as one of the greatest bot laners in League of Legends history, Uzi electrified fans with his mechanical precision and fearless play. Rising through the LPL with Royal Club and later dominating with Royal Never Give Up (RNG), he helped redefine the pro scene’s limits. Uzi’s fierce competitiveness and deep connection with fans were pivotal in bringing LoL Esports and the LPL into the mainstream in China. His standout performances at the 2013 and 2014 World Championship Finals — and his crowning achievements in 2018 — cemented his legacy as a global icon. 

We’re celebrating Hall of Legends with an in-game event pass that will take you on a journey through Uzi's career, highlighting pivotal moments, achievements, and more! You can earn and purchase commemorative cosmetic items, collections, and skins themed after the Mad Dog himself in celebration of this moment. Also available are the Legend and Immortalized Legend Kai’Sa collections, featuring Kai’Sa skins co-developed with Uzi himself.

Upcoming Battle Pass Improvements

We’ve been looking a lot at how all of you progress through the battle pass over the course of each Season, and we want to make sure it feels good and respects the time each of you invests in League. Whether you play 4 hours a day or 4 hours a week, we want to reward the time you dedicate to playing. In the spirit of this, we’ll be introducing some changes to improve how Battle Pass XP (BXP) can be acquired in Act 2 when patch 25.13 goes live. 

Champion Mastery BXP

Starting with Champion Mastery, we’ll be moving Mastery Set BXP to a mission instead of tying it to Mastery set champions. Under this new system, you’ll be able to obtain the full 2,500 BXP with champions of your choice instead of the ones offered by Mastery Sets.

When we originally introduced Mastery sets our intention was for them to be a way for you to find a new main or two based on the personalized recommendations it provided, gaining some Battle Pass XP along the way. Now that they've been live for a while, we've looked at how players engaged with these missions. The completion rates we're seeing aren't quite hitting our expectations nor are they increasing different champions played, so we're making the call to remove Mastery sets in Patch 25.13. That said, we'll keep this learning in mind as we continue to improve the Mastery system in the future. 

Catch Up Missions

We’re also introducing some changes to how the weekly missions will work so that Battle Passes feel better in terms of progression and how often you’re able to complete them. Starting in patch 25.13, instead of weekly missions lasting for 7 days, weekly missions will stick around for 21 days. This means that every week you’ll get a set of new weekly missions and you’ll have multiple weeks to complete them.

Currently, there’s no catchup method for BXP that exists for players jumping in partway through the Act, or for someone who just missed some weeklies because they were busy. With this update you’ll be able to accumulate missions for a while in case you aren’t able to play for a week or two, so you’ll still be able to make meaningful progress on your battle pass. You won’t need to log in or do anything special for this to work, they’ll be in your missions list when you log in. Here’s what this will look like in practice: 

• Week 1: You’ll get Week 1 missions.
• Week 2: You’ll get Week 2 missions, and still have any uncompleted Week 1 missions.
• Week 3: You’ll get Week 3 missions, and still have any uncompleted Week 1 and 2 missions.
• Week 4: You’ll get Week 4 missions, you’ll still have any uncompleted Week 2 and 3 missions, and any unfinished Week 1 missions will expire.
• Rinse and repeat.

We’ll monitor how these changes go, your feedback to them, and continually look for opportunities to make the pass feel better for those of you that choose to get it.

System Changes

Atakhan

• We’re re-tuning Atakhan’s spawn logic in order to make top lane vs. bot lane spawns more equitable, as he currently spawns too often in bot lane relative to top. 

Runes

Grasp of the Undying

• Ranged Effectiveness: 60% ⇒ 40%

Dragon

We’re fixing a longstanding bug where all dragon attacks were almost basic attacks but were missing a few key tags. Now they’ll behave more like other epic monster attacks and interact with Thornmail, Rammus, and Jax as expected. 

• Dragon Hits: All dragon basic attacks now trigger on-hit events (e.g. Thornmail, Defensive Ball Curl)
• Dragon Dodges: All dragon basic attacks now respect dodge

ARAM

Hello ARAMers, In this patch, we're making some targeted updates to help a couple of champions feel better in ARAM. Assassin Kayn is getting a bit more access to his damaging abilities and mobility to help him secure kills more reliably. Meanwhile Shyvana, who has been struggling with Fury generation compared to other non-mana champions, will find it easier to build up her Fury and transform more often. We're also nerfing Exhaust slightly to give more breathing room to engage-focused champions and make fights a bit more dynamic.

As always, thanks for playing and we’ll see you on the Howling Abyss! 

Champions

Bel’Veth

• Tenacity: 100% ⇒ 120%
• Damage Taken: 100% ⇒ 95%

Kayn

• Q Bonus AD Ratio: 85% ⇒ 95%
• E Cooldown (Shadow Assassin): 10 ⇒ 7 seconds

Kennen

• Damage Dealt: 105% ⇒ 100%

Shyvana

• Fury Regeneration per Siege, Cannon Minion, and Heal: 0.05 ⇒ 0.1

Sion

• W Health per Unit/Chapion Takedown: 8 ⇒ 5

Items

Blade of the Ruined King

• Passive Damage: 10/8% ⇒ 12/10% of the target’s current health

Summoner Spells

Exhaust

• Cooldown: 240 ⇒ 290 (Note: ARAM has 70 summoner haste, so in practice this is going from 140 to 170 seconds)

Brawl

We think it’s important that Brawl encompasses the entire power growth journey of a League game. However, we’ve observed that players aren’t getting to spend as long as we (or they) would like at late game power levels. We think Brawl occupies an important niche with its super-short gametime, so, instead of increasing game duration, we’re increasing the rate of power acquisition so players can experience powered-up gameplay for longer. We’re also adding an outlet for spending additional gold above 6 items, for you enterprising power-farmers. 

Champions

Kayle

• Passive XP: Kayle will no longer gain passive experience in Brawl

Systems

Passive Gold

• Passive Gold: 65g per 10s ⇒ 75g per 10s, increased to 100g per 10s after 5 minutes

Passive Experience

• Passive Experience: 20exp per 10s ⇒ 20exp per 10s, increased to 30exp per 10s after 5 minutes

Juice

• New Offerings: Added Bandle Juice of Power, Vitality, and Haste to the item shop. These consumables grant a permanent stacking buff, and can only be purchased after level 16. They also come with hats. Since they come with hats we’re getting rid of Cappa Juice.

Clash - MSI Cup

Position Binding in Swiftplay Champ Select

ARAM Champ Swap

We got feedback that the new ARAM champ swap modal is not as straightforward as the old one you all loved, so we are removing the extra click involved in swapping since there's only one option. Now you can save that extra click for in-game!
