With the release of update 25.10, the 2nd season of League of Legends has begun. Riot Games introduced the dynamic "Battle" mode, changed the LP allocation rules in the SEA region, updated the Mythic Shop, reworked the balance of items, champions, and runes, and announced the release of new and reworked skins.

Navigation for Changes: 

• New Mode: "Battle"
• Ranked System Changes in SEA
• Champion Changes
• Item Changes
• Rune Changes
• Mythic Shop and Cosmetic Updates
• Future Skins

New Mode: "Battle"

The main novelty is the "Battle" mode — a fast-paced 5v5 format where players fight on a small map, trying to reduce the enemy team's health to zero. Champion kills deal 5 damage, minions deal 1, and if a minion reaches the enemy portal, it deals another 1. Participants will find boosts, gold, and no objectives or towers — just combat.

The mode is available from May 14, 6:00 PM Central European Time, and will last until patch 25.13 is released on June 24, 2025.

Ranked System Changes in SEA

After the server merges in the SEA region, the LP allocation system became too restrictive. Riot has revised the ranking algorithms, especially on the Singapore server — now players will earn more LP for victories.

Balance Changes

The patch reworked items with ability power: weaker ones were strengthened, overly effective ones were nerfed, and some received clear game niches. The "Unsealed Spellbook" rune was also buffed. Additionally, targeted balance adjustments were made for several champions and runes — details are in the official change list.
