After several buff-focused patches, League of Legends is getting a whole heap of nerfs on patch 25.15 to try and balance things out. There are a few buffs and adjustments planned, but it’s mostly nerfs.
With the competitive format for League of Legends changing mainly to fearless draft, the process of people figuring out what is and isn’t meta has completely changed. If a champion is busted, it’s not like they’re going to dominate pick/ban for 5 games, they get played once per series.
As a result, balance now seems a lot more focused on solo queue stats and characters that are real pain points for the average player. MSI 2025 has wrapped up, and this patch seems much more solo queue focused than 25.14 other than the Alistar and Pantheon nerfs aimed at pro play.
Here’s everything we know so far about LoL patch 25.15.
