LoL early Patch 25.14 notes: All buffs and nerfs

MSI 2025 is officially underway, and the developers are implementing changes to several champions to shake up the future meta.

There’s a ton to unpack in this League patch with multiple buffs, nerfs, and adjustments. With the Fearless Drafts increasing the thrill of esports matches, these changes should revive some forgotten champions on the MSI stage in future tournaments.

Patch 25.15 contains many changes to your favorite League champions, but it’s going heavy on the nerfs as the last few patches have delivered a lot of buffs. There’s also a Kled rework in the works, which is bringing life to the champion and making him a fighter type in terms of building his items. Yunara is also hitting the rift as a new champion for the players in this patch. In addition, players will also have three new skins: Nightbringer Yuumi, Nightbringer Hecarim, and Dawnbringer Kalista, making their entrance on the rift from the PBE server.
