League of Legends Patch 25.21: Complete Details
The latest update, League of Legends Patch 25.21, is one of Riot’s heaviest patches this year.
Alongside sweeping balance changes, a brand-new ARAM mode, and technical upgrades, it also features the final Battle Pass of 2024, packed with unique cosmetics and 2× rewards in celebration of Worlds 2025.
This patch focuses on reviving lane aggression, improving practice tools for players, and rewarding both casual and competitive fans with new content.
Early Game Rework: Items and Runes Adjusted
Riot Games has done several key adjustments that make poking and trading during lane phases more effective and rewarding.
Item Changes
- Doran’s Shield: Max healing reduced—40 (melee) / 30 (ranged).
- Doran’s Ring: Now increases mana regen to 2 per second for 5 seconds after damaging an enemy champion; promotes proactive play.
- Doran’s Blade: Reverted to the 14.1 version with omnivamp (2.5% healing from damage dealt).
- Catalyst of Aeons: Health reduced from 350 to 300.
- Second Wind (Rune): Healing after taking damage adjusted to 4% of missing health (flat value removed).
These changes make laning more dynamic and destroy overly defensive builds, bringing a fresh pace to match openings.
Champion Tweaks
Three champions receive notable updates in League of Legends Patch 25.21:
- Gwen: Restored to her pre-update kit for smoother performance and balance.
- Graves: Regains magic resist through Grit stacks.
- Dr. Mundo: Late-game burst damage was nerfed to prevent over-scaling.
