LoL Patch 25.22 – One of the cutest Lux skins is about to hit the Rift…

With the release of the new patch, it’s time to turn our eyes to the next update, Patch 25.22.

LoL Patch 25.22 – What’s coming to the new patch?

While Worlds 20225 is been playing on Patch 25.20, the LoL playerbase has officially moved to the next update as the Patch 25.21 has been released on October 22.

The new patch came with some important gameplay changes, including number tweaks to the Doran starting item as well as several adjustments to champions across all roles, with most of them focusing on the jungle and bottom lane. While we wait for the bot lane meta to evolve, Riot Games has already unveiled the skins expected to come in the next update, including more Mecha Kingdom champions and a new Panda Pal Lux skin to celebreate the World championship final taking place in Chengdu.

At the current moment, however, there is only one Skarner change leaked. Check back in the next few days as we will be updating the latest planned changes.
