League of Legends update 25.10 early patch notes

Spirit Blossom Syndra Splash Art

League of Legends just got its first big mid-season update of 2025, giving the map a complete makeover and changing the way big objectives like Herald and Void Grubs work. 25.10, meanwhile, is mostly focused on items.

Bear in mind these aren’t complete patch notes and it’s all subject to change, but the initial changes are focused mainly on adjusting items for AP champions. Although, Riot dev Phroxzon has since released a preview that gives us an idea of what champion changes we can expect on top of what’s on the PBE.

Though those are the only changes at the time of writing, there are sure to be more added before the patch goes live. After all, 25.09 just came out.

Here are the early patch notes for LoL patch 25.10.
