All Champion & Item changes in LoL patch 25.08 notes

Things aren’t slowing down with League of Legends patch 25.08, with it being yet another huge balance patch that has a ton of changes.

Over a dozen champions are getting buffs that are pointed at raising base stats and giving them more base damage, while most nerfs are small adjustments.

There are, however, some big changes changes instore, with Annie and Yorick already slated for a number of tweaks to change the way both characters play. Yorick got substantial buffs in 25.07, and he’s getting some major adjustments here as well.
