Even though it does not have any &#8220;new champion-rule injections&#8221;, the update brings a &#8220;bunch of follow up and fine-tuning&#8221;, so let&#8217;s see what&#8217;s new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">T1 Worlds 2024 Winners Skins Released in LoL Patch 25.18<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/LeagueOfLegends\/status\/1965483676495417805\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though we are <strong>just a few weeks away from Worlds 2025<\/strong>, Riot Games decided it&#8217;s high time to celebrate T1&#8217;s success in the 2024 World Championship. To make their win memorable, <strong>Riot released special skins to honor Oner, Faker, Zeus, Keria and Gumayusi<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An interesting fact about these skins is that they have <strong>different easter eggs<\/strong>, such as Gumayusi&#8217;s good croissant. If you want to get these skins, you can do that during the <strong>LoL patch 25.18 and 25.19<\/strong>. It&#8217;s possible to <strong>purchase <\/strong>them on their own or via the Signature and Mega bundles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Signature Edition will include the champion skin, the player&#8217;s signature border and icon, an elite chroma, a T1 ward and the specific champion. If you opt for the Mega Bundle, you will get <strong>pretty much everything<\/strong>, including a golden T1 World Champions icon and all champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will also be a 2024 World Championship Sylas Prestige skin that will <strong>celebrate Faker&#8217;s MVP performance<\/strong>. You can get it for 1<strong>50 ME from the Mythic Shop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Account Bans, Boosting Detection &amp; Game Info Updates in Patch 25.18<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another issue that the new LoL patch addresses is related to <strong>boosters, bots and bans<\/strong>. According to Riot, they started rolling out bans for people who botted and purchased accounts. Their <strong>system started flagging people for boosts and smurfs<\/strong>, so we can expect to see many penalties in the next couple of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though <strong>Riot says it is confident in its detection system<\/strong>, banned players can contact the support team and <strong>appeal <\/strong>the decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of that, League of Legends also added game info tracking improvements. For example, the <strong>death recap has received a visual polish<\/strong>. The goal behind these changes is to make LoL more visually appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Champion Buffs &amp; Nerfs in LoL Patch 25.18 \u2013 Annie, Amumu, Briar &amp; More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Patch 25.18 Explained - A Guide for League of Legends\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PfGQEFKmMv0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The League of Legends Patch 25.18 did <strong>not introduce any ground-breaking champion changes<\/strong>. Nevertheless, there are a few names that we believe deserve more attention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Amumu<\/strong> &#8211; The Q now has 2s less cooldown on Level 5 and costs 50 at all ranks. The latter makes it a bit harder to use on level 1, but much more efficient later on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Annie <\/strong>&#8211; Her W now deals less damage on levels 2-5 and her R has lower magic penetration on levels 1 and 2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Briar <\/strong>&#8211; Starting with her Q, the base damage is slightly lower than before and it now does physical instead of magical damage. Her W is no longer affected by the annoying bug, whereas her R will now play a sound after cast. The ultimate will also deal more damage than before and has a 12000 range instead of 10000.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hwei <\/strong>&#8211; Her passive now gives a 35% AP ratio instead of 30%, whereas her WQ provides more bonus MS and has a higher bonus MS AP ratio. Lastly, her E also got buffed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of other LoL champions that received <strong>small buffs or nerfs<\/strong>, so don&#8217;t forget to read the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leagueoflegends.com\/en-sg\/news\/game-updates\/patch-25-18-notes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> official changelog<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Item Changes in Patch 25.18 \u2013 Bami\u2019s Cinder, Sunfire Cape &amp; Mercurial Scimitar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside the different champion changes, the LoL Patch 25.18 also has several item changes. To be fair, there are <strong>3 of them<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bami&#8217;s Cinder now gives 100% amp on monsters instead of 50%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sunfire Cape now provides 60% amp on minions and monsters instead of 50%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mercurial Scimitar now gives 50 attack damage, 35 magic resistance and has an active movespeed duration of 2s.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doom Bots Adjustments &amp; Arena Mode Updates in LoL Patch 25.18<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The newest LoL update also brings a lot of changes<strong> related to Doom Bots<\/strong>. We recommend checking the change log because there are a lot of new aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the Arena, we <strong>must address several important factors<\/strong>, starting with the AFK detection. The latest patch adds special rules, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The AFK warning will <strong>appear if you have been inactive<\/strong> for 70 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taking damage or being <strong>teleported into combat<\/strong> will not count as activity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you have been <strong>inactive for more than 180 seconds<\/strong>, your vote won&#8217;t count towards forfeiting.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>People who&#8217;ve been <strong>AFK for more than 300 seconds<\/strong> will be removed from the game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just some of the Arena changes you should be aware of. Riot also decided to nerf some things, such as the +20 MS on ranged champions. Speaking of the devil, certain champions also received buffs and nerfs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summoner&#8217;s Rift Cup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last important thing we want to point out in the League of Legends Patch 25.18 is the Summoner&#8217;s Rift Cup. it will take place this patch and <strong>registration begins on September 9 at 11 AM<\/strong>. If you wish to take part in the competition, mark September 13 and 14.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The League of Legends Patch 25.18 is finally here and it brings a lot of interesting changes.
