Key Changes Coming in 2025:
-
Viktor's VGU: His ultimate ability will now grow stronger with each kill during its duration, accompanied by updated skins including Prototype Viktor.
-
New Jungle Monster: Atakhan, Bringer of Ruin, will spawn at 20 minutes on the most contested side of the map. This pushes Baron Nashor's spawn time to 25 minutes.
-
Blood Roses Mechanic: These grow where champions die, providing XP and stacking Adaptive Force buffs when collected.
-
Feats of Strength: First teams to achieve key objectives receive enhanced Noxian-themed boots with improved stats.
-
Map Changes: Nexus turrets will now respawn after destruction, and Teleport will show champions traveling across the map instead of instant blinking.
