League of Legends Patch 25.07 Notes: New Changes, Release Date, and More

COSMIN · March 25, 2025

Patch 25.07 has arrived, here’s everything you need to know.

Riot Phroxzon just announced the upcoming changes arriving in Patch 25.07 and here is an overview of all the changes arriving in the patch.

Starting off with one of the biggest changes in the patch, the Yorick rework. After years of being in a mediocre spot, Yorick is finally getting some changes. His laning phase will be a little less oppressive in lower-tier play but he should be overall much better to play.

In addition, Yone is also getting some major changes. His passive will no longer grant Yone a critical damage penalty but his E will no longer cleanse crowd control. It’s a decent tradeoff that should give Yone more counterplay.

There are also some buffs and nerfs arriving in this patch. Brand, Ivern, Shaco, Trundle, and other champions are getting some buffs while champions like Gwen and Naafiri are getting nerfed.

Finally, let’s talk about the skins. The April Fools skins are returning and there will be five brand new skins arriving with it.

Patch 25.7 Preview!

– Catalyst has been weak for a while, especially compared to Lost Chapter which feels like a significantly better purchase
– We're not looking to decrease the price as that makes it too good at stalling action on the 1100 spike, so just looking to… pic.twitter.com/OFsg6AraAJ
