Patch 25.S1.1: Noxus Invades the Rift!

The Noxus-themed season transforms Summoner’s Rift into a battleground that echoes the power and pride of the mighty Noxian Empire. From Noxian War Turrets blasting enemies to Immortal Bastion-styled minions, the map redesign immerses players in the rich lore of Noxus while maintaining competitive integrity.

Key highlights include:

  • Dynamic Biomes: Blue buff areas retain their lush aesthetic, while red buff zones embrace the rugged, war-torn landscapes of Noxus Prime.
  • Seasonal Shopkeepers: The Masquerade-dressed vendors bring flair to every transaction.

Lasting Updates: This thematic overhaul remains until Season 2, keeping your games fresh and immersive.

Atakhan: A New Epic Monster

Table of Contents

Meet Atakhan, an ancient demon of bloodshed, introducing a new layer of strategy to the mid-game. Spawning at the 20-minute mark, Atakhan’s location and form depend on the intensity of champion damage and kills by the 14-minute point.

Forms of Atakhan:

  1. Ruinous Atakhan: Appears in high-action games, rewarding teams with:

    • A 25% boost to all Epic monster rewards.

    • Fields of Blood Roses that grant Adaptive Force buffs and XP.

  2. Voracious Atakhan: Spawns in lower-action games, offering:

    • A temporary death mitigation buff akin to Guardian Angel.

    • A permanent gold bonus for champion takedowns.

Atakhan reshapes team objectives, offering opportunities for comebacks or amplifying existing leads. Don’t let your opponents claim this game-changing advantage—strategize your team’s approach early.

Feats of Strength: Guiding the Early Game

Replacing the gold bonuses for First Blood and First Turret, Feats of Strength introduces a new layer of early-game strategy. Teams that secure two out of three feats—First Blood, First Turret, and Monster Slaying—receive Triumphant Boot Upgrades.

Triumphant Boot Bonuses:

  • Berserker’s Greaves: +5% Attack Speed

  • Mercury’s Treads: +5 Magic Resistance

  • Plated Steelcaps: +5 Armor

 

Later in the game, these boots can be further upgraded to Tier 3, providing even more tactical advantages.

Game-Changing Updates for 2025

 

  1. Respawning Nexus Turrets:

    • Nexus turrets now respawn 3 minutes after destruction, offering teams a chance to recover and fight back against backdoor tactics.

  2. Teleport Revamp:

    • Visual Dash replaces the instant blink, introducing travel time for early Teleports, which balances its impact while maintaining its late-game power.

  3. Swiftplay:

    • A shorter, action-packed mode for quick games, now available in select regions.

  4. Minion Adjustments:

    • Minions clear waves faster in the early game, reducing lane snowballing and promoting dynamic matchups.

Additional Features Worth Exploring

1. Fearless Draft in Pro Play

For professional players, Fearless Draft introduces new champion restrictions in best-of-3 and best-of-5 matches. Champions can only be picked once per series, adding variety and skill expression to the competitive scene.

2. Swiftplay Mode

Launching in select regions, Swiftplay offers a faster-paced version of Summoner’s Rift. Ideal for players who want shorter, action-packed games with balanced skill tests.

3. Seasonal Ranked Rewards

Ranked Victorious Skins now require 15 ranked wins in any combination of Solo/Duo or Flex queues. A dedicated mission tracks progress toward this goal.
