League of Legends Patch 25.S1.1: Welcome to Noxus!

The new Masque of the Black Rose skins go live on Jan. 8, 2025 20:00 UTC.

In summary, the map has undergone significant changes and updates, with fewer adjustments to Champions and Items at this time. However, we are introducing several new Minor Runes into the game.

In simpler terms, when we provide less comprehensive updates, Swiftplay will take over from Quickplay. Also, Champion Bounties undergo minor adjustments.

Atakhan, Noxus Map

In simple terms, a fresh character named Atakhan, along with his unique plant called Blood Roses, has just appeared in the Rift. The Blood Roses offer a minor but persistent advantage to the team focused on gathering resources.

The map gets a Noxus-themed makeover, including Turrets, the Nexus, and the lanes.

Minion changes

In the initial stages of the game, we aim to make several adjustments to minions and turrets to enhance the variety of playable matchups. Our goal is to ensure that both lanes feel engaging and less one-sided, preventing situations where a disadvantaged lane has limited options, essentially being forced to hide under a tower for protection against an imminent attack on the third wave, only to have the tower offer insufficient defense.

On average, these modifications will lead the minions to eliminate each other more swiftly, particularly during the initial stages of play.

  • Minion XP range: 1400 >>> 1500
  • Minion-turret and minion-champion damage: 50% >>> 55%
  • Ambient gold start time: 1:50 >>> 1:40

New Runes:

  • Axiom Arcanist: Your ultimate ability’s damage, healing, and/or shielding is increased by 14% (reduced to 9% for AoE damaging abilities). Takedowns on enemy champions refund 7% of your ultimate ability’s current remaining cooldown.
