[League of Legends] Patch 25.11 Full Preview

[Hatsepsuta]

Riot Games has unveiled the full preliminary list of changes for patch 25.11 for League of Legends. The update enhances Twitch's AP build, improves the Horizon Focus item, and makes neutral adjustments to the abilities of Aatrox, Kassadin, and Samira.
The developers are also stepping back from previous buffs to Cho'Gath and Smolder to return them to a balanced state.

Item Changes

 

Horizon Focus will become a more competitive option for burst damage builds. Riot is also keeping an eye on the balance of other magical items—Stormsurge, Lich Bane, and Luden’s stand out in terms of strength but do not yet require urgent intervention.
Nerfs to Archangel’s Staff, ROA, and Swiftness have had an indirect impact on champions like Ryze, Twisted Fate, and Kassadin.
ROA is now considered an item for lane stability rather than damage dealing.
