4 Min read Hey everyone! It’s that time of year again when Riot announces some of the changes coming in the new season. In this article, we will give you a brief overview of all the changes.
You can watch the video for yourself here!
PLEASE NOTE: We may not include everything in this blog post…
In 2025, Riot will take a different approach to Seasons. Now, they will have three Seasons that follow different regions of Runeterra. The majority of the content created around that time will connect to the regions. This includes gameplay, skins, and champions. In each Season, the map colour will change slightly to reflect the different regions of Runeterra.
This means that instead of splits like previous Seasons, a calendar year will be split into three different Seasons with six acts.
It looks like next year will not be called “Season 15”, but instead “Season 1.”
Of course, Riot can’t go into too much detail regarding the quality-of-life changes, but they are adjusting the client to make it more streamlined. In my opinion, this is a good thing to do because the client is very slow and also super buggy. It can also be difficult to find things in the client.
These changes are intended to improve the client’s visuals and not necessarily make it more optimised though, which I feel is a mistake on Riot’s behalf.
Like every other game, Riot is changing the battle pass system. Battle passes will last four months instead of two, giving me more time to unlock rewards.
Everyone will get access to a free pass, which offers rewards; you can also buy a pass for extra rewards.
Instead of an event shop and tokens, you now get free skins among additional rewards. You can also get more free skins with these passes. A full list of rewards looks like this:
However, if you want to give Riot Games some money, here are some extra things you will receive if you buy the pass.
The honour shop is also changing. So instead of getting tokens, you will now be given a skin. If you have tokens left over, you can use them for something else.
The upcoming honor skin is Three Honors Shen which can be earned by being honor level 5.
They are removing masterwork chests, but hextech chests will still be available.
Champion mastery is being removed. It will be easier to earn chests as they will no longer be linked to champion mastery. Instead, they will be rewarded in the pass.
There will be three main missions related to the mastery system.
In my opinion, this is a good change as I feel that it’s pretty complex. Also, I feel that if you are an ARAM only player, you never got many rewards.
They are removing Showcase capsules, and they’re moving Mythic Variants into the Sanctum as their own reward that you can consume.
Additionally, a new rune, Axiom Arcanist, has been introduced in the Sorcery tree, replacing Nullifying Orb. This rune empowers ultimate abilities by increasing their damage, healing, and shielding effects, while also reducing cooldowns after getting a takedown.
A new creature spawns at the 20 minute mark, delaying the baron until 25 minutes. It spawns in either the top or bottom side, depending on kill count.
Looking for a faster-paced game? Swiftplay is coming to replace Quickplay. It is more forgiving and faster-paced, making it ideal for beginners or players who want to learn a new champion. Everything in this game mode goes faster, so definitely give it a go when it comes out!
Nexus turrets will now respawn, which gives you more of a chance to get back into the game. You can find out more in this clip

First, it’s nice to see Riot actively making major changes to things that people find confusing or unhelpful. The new pass makes sense and looks good on paper. I am happy that they are giving more free stuff to players, especially to ARAM-only players, which I think a lot of people are nowadays.
It is yet to be seen how they will go around major patches. This year, they have had a lot of changes and some patch notes have been really, really long as they have made a lot of changes.
Maybe they will hold off from doing these until the end of each Season, which would be ideal. It looks like each calendar year is split up into three Seasons instead of one and six acts instead of three splits, so that is plenty of time for them to make major changes.
Other than that, the new objective looks pretty cool. I am happy about the new game mode too! I think it will be perfect for trying out new champions, and it is great for when you are unsure if you can commit to a full game!
