Urgot the Clogfather, Pool Party Malphite, Grill Master Braum, Glizzy Naafiri, and Cat-in-the-Box Shaco will be available April 2nd, 2025 at 12:00:00 UTC.

Mayhem vs. Merriment is here! Party Drake, cat minions, and disco-fueled chaos take over as Shaco's pranks clash with Pengu Garen's wholesome hype. Dash through speed pads, trigger surprise events, and join the party before it's gone! All of these temporary changes will be active in non-ranked queues so don't worry this won't impact your climbs (or descents) on the ladder.

Pengu Garen will be available for the duration of this patch. It is a freely selectable skin for Garen available in all game modes!

There are even more Easter eggs hidden in the game, so have fun discovering them! Pengu is exclusively available for April Fools' and will be leaving the Rift after two weeks. Party Drake will also be spawning less frequently after the first three days, so make sure to hop on before it's too late.

PARTY DRAKE (SUMMER'S RIFT)

Party Drake Soul

• Gain 30% Bonus Movement Speed when within 650 range of your allies.
• For every 5% Bonus Movement Speed, gain 1% bonus AD and AP.

Dragon Slayer Buff

• Receive a Party Favor item in your inventory. If your item slots are full, the Party Favor will be opened for you automatically. Party Favors will award a random amount of gold between 150 and 250 and also a Skill Point.
• Gain a groovy disco aura, causing nearby ally minions to sparkle!

Terrain

• Disco pads will appear in bases and the jungle.
• Stepping on different Disco pads will grant a stacking Movement Speed buff. (Decaying Burst and a constant bonus)
• A duckie disco ball will appear in your base.
• Clicking on the Duckie disco ball will channel an effect, granting you more stacks of movement speed.

---

SHACO'S MAYHEM (SUMMONER'S RIFT AND ARAM)

Shaco Boxes

• Cat Shaco boxes will spawn along the lane (both in Summoner's rift and in ARAM)
• Picking up a box will grant you a random cute effect.
• Every 10 stacks will grant you a Minor Party Favor item.
• We're not sure how Pengu Garen will feel about these boxes.

---

ARAM BUT MAKE IT FAST

• Summoner Haste increased to 200%.
• Cappa Juice now costs 300 Gold, with no stack limit.
• Snowball is looking a little different.

---

KNOWN ISSUES

• If a Party Favor would grant a skill point, due to having a full inventory, it doesn't pop up the skill-up UI until the next level is reached, then you're able to spend that extra point.

The LeBlanc Visual Update is here with updated models, animations, ability icons, VO, VFX, SFX, Splashes, and Skins.

Similar to what we've done with some past Visual Updates for Champions, LeBlanc's Prestigious skin is getting a price increase from 520 RP to 750 RP to reflect the higher quality bar. We also made a lot of changes to the SFX of the Ravenborn Leblanc skin so we're also going to be increasing the price of it as well from 975 RP to 1350RP to reflect that higher quality bar. If you don't own these skins you'll be able to purchase them at a cheaper price before the Visual Update goes live so grab them while you can!

Keep an eye out as well on our YouTube channel for LeBlanc's new Champion Theme! That should be going live on Thursday, April 3rd.

Overall we're really excited about the reception of Demon's Hand and we've loved seeing some of the hands and sigil combos you've been sharing across various platforms. We did take a look based on some feedback at the acquisition rate of some of the Rare Sigils that are acquired by playing League and discovered that there was an unintended interaction with the hidden missions that are granting those Sigils. In 25.07 you should notice a significantly easier time to acquire them. This fix will result in you earning increased progress towards those hidden missions by about 80% per minute of gameplay.

• Fixed an unintended behavior with the “hidden” missions that grant Sigils that should now result in you earning them much faster.

HOMEGUARD & FOUNTAIN

It's become a commonplace tactic for mid laners to rush Symbiotic Soles and repeatedly Recall to fill up their health and mana before rushing back to lane, which removes almost all sense of attrition in the lane. Since we like that Soles are a popular and viable item on supports, we'd rather adjust the Recall incentives than nerf the boots themselves. Mathematically, the changes below result in shorter trips to base when low on resources and slower trips when already near full.

Fountain Healing

• Maximum HP per second: 10.4% ⇒ 8%
• Maximum MP per second: 12.4% ⇒ 10%
• Early game missing HP/MP per second: 6% ⇒ 16%
• Late game missing HP/MP per second: 12% ⇒ 16%

Homeguard Speed

• Early game move speed: 75% ⇒ 65%
• 14-40 minute move speed: 75-150% ⇒ 65-150%

---

LANE SWAP DETECTION

We're further shrinking the lane swap detection area so that it should no longer catch champions who find themselves fighting in the enemy jungle.

• Lane Swap Detection in mid lane has been shrunk to no longer overlap with most of the Raptor Pit.

Hello ARAMers, for this patch, we're focusing on champions that haven't been evaluated in a while. Some changes—like Draven, Bard, and Evelynn—are aimed at tuning specific spells to address long-standing pain points in their kits. Other updates are simple balance tweaks, reassessing their power relative to other champions in their class.

Don't forget to check out the April Fool's event, and we'll see you on the Bridge of Progress!

15.7 is the patch we say goodbye to Quickplay and embrace Swiftplay everywhere it's not live yet. We want an unranked standard Summoner's Rift option to be available as well, so we're enabling Normal Draft at the same time.

We're going to make a small change to Normal Draft timing in OC as well so that it's available when the most players are on.

As we promised in our last Dev Update, we're reversing the changes we made to the frequency of Clash. Here's the new 2025 Clash schedule!

For more information on Clash check out our Clash FAQ support page here!

As a small note, since we increased the number of Clash tournaments per year, we're also reverting the reward requirements to what they originally were.

With 25.07 comes the return of the Blue Essence Emporium and it'll be active until patch 25.09 goes live.

With this return of the BEE we have a new offering of the “Emporium Enjoyer” title for 250,000 BE. Spend your hoards of Blue Essence for some cosmetics while it's active, and just as a reminder that the next time the Essence Emporium returns it'll be closer to the end of this year.

Earlier this year we reduced the BE cost of all champions by 50% which led to the death of some specific prices on champions that both players and devs were fans of. We've heard your asks to bring this back and we have some updates on this.

In 25.07, Jhin will be available for 1234 Blue Essence, and Vel'Koz will be available for 1618 Blue Essence.

With the delay of Sahn-Uzal Mordekaiser skin we're going to be extending Quantum Galaxy Slayer Zed's banner until the next banner item rotates in.

While testing and preparing the new shop we discovered a bug where the Prestige Battle Academia Qiyana listing wasn't properly granting her Icon Border. We weren't able to get this fixed in time for release, so for a moment if you purchase her she will come without the Icon Border.

We will be retroactively granting this for players at a later date when we have the issue fixed but currently don't have an ETA on that. So don't worry if it's missing, we will get it to you. We'll let you know as soon as we have an update on this.

• Fixed a bug where Singed's Q could execute Tryndamere in his ult, bypassing his invincibility.
• Fixed an issue where attacking with a fully stacked Lead the Way passive from Trailblazer does not slow the target if you're a melee champion.
• Fixed an issue where Gwen's R would sometimes display debug text.
• Fixed an issue where some of the visual displays of Sudden Death being active were not displaying.
• Fixed an issue where Sylas using R on Zeri would cause the Zeri R to not trigger Sylas's R cooldown.
• Fixed an issue where if Viego possessing Mel used W to kill an enemy champion it would prevent Viego from using his passive.
• Fixed an issue where Naafiri R would not cross terrain if a target was right next to it.
• Fixed an issue where Naafiri W would create an extra redundant buff icon.
• Fixed an issue where Naafiri's packmates would not dash alongside her.
