League of Legends Patch 25.06 Notes – What’s Changing and How Will it Affect the Meta

League of Legends Patch 25.06 has officially dropped on the live servers, changing a plethora of champions, items, as well as bringing about the Naafiri mid-scope update revealed a few weeks back. Your Shop also returns, but there’s a lot to cover this patch, so let’s dive right into it!

League of Legends Patch 25.06: The Most Important Changes

The most important champion updates came for Naafiri, who finally got her mid-scope update revealed a few weeks back, where the developers swapped her W and Ultimate abilities and rebalanced them. However, Gwen also got a mid-scope change which aims to turn her into an AP bruiser with more upfront damage from a hyper-scaling champion.

Some of the best ADC picks have also received a hit to their power, as well as some problematic junglers like Darius and Yorick, who weren’t terrorizing professional play, but have been wreaking havoc in solo queue. The Anti-Lane Swap mechanic has been fine tuned as well, making it less punishing and more recognizable for teammates.

There’s a plethora of changes in the Arena game mode as well, as there have been champion rebalances and some Guests of Honor rebalances as well. Darius now reduced the HP of the whole lobby, becoming the true test of power that he is supposed to be.

Along with the balance changes, four news skins will hit League of Legends with Battle Academia Kayn, Xayah, Rakan and Qiyana, the latter which has a prestige edition as well!
