League of Legends Patch 25.15 Preview – Full change list is out!

With Patch 25.14 officially hitting the live servers, find out which changes are planned for the next update, Patch 25.15.

League of Legends Patch 25.15 – The new Champion is hitting the Rift

Patch 25.14 has been officially released on July 16, with a long list of changes that is inevitably going to shake up the meta, given the wide number of champion changes.

Additionally, Yunara has been released to the live servers, as the new champion is expected to see lots of popularity. It will be important to monitor her win rate going forward, although she will need some time before we start seeing her true colors.

According to Riot game designer Spideraxe, there are a few changes planned for the upcoming patch. Aside from the small nerfs to Ziggs and Pantheon, the big highlight of the upcoming patch might be Rek’Sai, who is finally receiving some love after disappearing from both pro play and solo queue for quite some time.

In the patch preview by Riot Phreak, the game designer said this will be a nerf-focused patch to combat power creeping, hitting champions that benefitted from recent item buffs and overall outliers.

Riot Games is planning to tweak her E, changing the damage from physical to true damage and making her trades much stronger early on. That being said, she will lose out on overall tankiness. The direction Riot seems to be taking is to make her into a damage-focused jungler as opposed to a bruiser, tank-like champion. Below you can find the number changes for Patch 25.15.

What are the most impactful changes?

With the full preview out, there are some major nerfs that will definitely change the priority among champions, especially in the support role. Alistar losing 7 armor means he will be much weaker early on, pushing him down in the support tier list. The same thing applies to Braum, which will also no longer be as tanky early on.

For the other changes, the main ones I’m interested in are Master Yi and Rek’Sai. The first has been performing well in solo queue and this should lower his impact early on, given the lower base damage. As a jungler main, I’m intrigued by the Rek’Sai changes and while I think she might see more play in solo queue, I doubt she will make it to pro play.
