League of Legends Patch 25.22 Notes — New Skins, Buffs, Nerfs, and More

Patch 25.22 has arrived toLeague of Legends, giving players the opportunity to start their journey across the latest update. This time, we're getting a lot of Rune changes to deal with some over- and under-picked ones — buffs, some nerfs, and additional changes (like to Hextech ARAM and Arena).

Here's everything you need to know about Patch 25.22!

Nerfs

First, let's talk a bit about the nerfs. Five total things were affected: three Champions and two Runes.

• Akshan Mid (Emerald 2 to Challenger)
• LeBlanc Mid (Emerald 2 to Challenger)
• Talon Jungle (Emerald 2 to Challenger)
• Phase Rush
• Biscuit Delivery

Buffs

There were a total of 11 buffs, with three champions and eight Runes affected. Here's what you need to know!

• Aurelion Sol
• Blitzcrank
• Yone
• Cashback
• Guardian
• Hail of Blades
• Legend: Bloodline
• Movement Speed Shard
• Nimbus Cloak
• Tenacity Shard
• Triple Tonic

Adjustments

Adjustments are bigger changes that don't count as either a buff or a nerf, but rather make an alteration to the overall champion identity. It's not quite as big as a rework, but it does help to reframe how a champion is using some of their abilities. To learn more, check out the patch notes!

• Skarner
• Volibear
