What changes are included in Patch 25.15?
Patch 25.15 is notably focused on champion-specific nerfs, with many champions reaping the benefits from item enhancements in the prior patch, such as those to Blade of the Ruined King and Kraken Slayer. Many support champions are also in focus, as they are becoming essential picks, broadening the champion pool for the role. Most adjustments target solo queue gameplay.
Champion Buffs
The following champions will receive buffs in League Patch 25.15:
Kled
Kled underwent a significant alteration in the previous patch, leading to a decrease in his win rate and diminished ability to remount during team battles, hence he will receive improvements.
Riven
The nerf to Riven’s passive in the last patch significantly affected her, prompting the developers to revert this change.
Champion Nerfs
The following champions will face nerfs in League Patch 25.15:
Alistar
Currently a top-tier support option, Alistar will undergo nerfs.
Bel’Veth
Having benefited from the last patch’s item buffs, she will be nerfed to reduce her early-game power and offer more late-game scaling for balance.
Braum
With his popularity in esports, Braum will also see additional nerfs to create a long-lasting change.
Irelia
Irelia gained a power boost from the last patch, so she will receive a nerf mainly aimed at solo queue, given her unexpected presence in professional play.
Master Yi
Master Yi has become quite overpowered post the last patch, and developers will apply a nerf while also offering some compensation for his critical build strategies.
Nilah
Currently the top bot lane champion in terms of win rate, Nilah will receive nerfs by reducing her late-game scaling while improving her early game.
Pantheon
Pantheon will be nerfed with a focus on jungle performance.
Quinn
Quinn is becoming popular in the top lane, resulting in developers decreasing her early to mid game wave clear while keeping her attack damage steady.
Rell
Alongside Braum and Alistar, she has been favored as a tank support, leading to a reduction in her power through nerfs.
Champion Adjustments
The following champion will undergo adjustments in League Patch 25.15:
Corki
Corki is fairly well-balanced, being a robust laner that players can easily adopt; however, developers aim to smooth out his power curve.
Illaoi
The duration of the Vessel debuff will be removed to alleviate player frustration, with the developers intending to overcompensate with power and usability improvements.
Rek’Sai
Rek’Sai’s true damage in the E ability will return, with changes to her ultimate to transition it from an assassin function to a more universally dependable one, enhancing the champion’s relevance in the meta.
