League of Legends patch 25.11 is focused almost solely on champion balance, with Riot delivering buffs to several underperforming champions. It’s mostly buffs this time around, with a few nerfs and a big rework to Garen’s numbers to make him less of a burst champion and more of a tank.
Compared to the last few patches, 25.11 is fairly light in terms of overall changes. No big item reworks, only one huge set of changes in that of Garen’s, and mostly just a focus on honing in champions’ numbers and slightly adjusting each character in the patch.
However, there are a few standouts for this patch, particularly in cases where the priorities of certain champions are changing. Aatrox is getting more damage in exchange for less survivability while Samira’s getting the polar opposite, for instance.
With Uzi’s Hall of Legends event coming next patch, it’s safe to say the devs are likely saving big changes for 25.12’s big update. But these changes may still affect you if you’re main’s on the changelist.
Here are the full patch notes for League of Legends update 25.11.
