TL;DW: Season 1 Reveal, Gameplay Preview & More
Hey folks, Pabro, Meddler, Riot Phroxzon, Riot Auberaun, 100pc nuggets, and Mackivor back with another TL;DW of today’s Dev Update:
Viktor is receiving an update to his art, backstory, and a small update to his gameplay to better align game and show.
Prototype Viktor is increasing from 520 RP to 750 RP.
Next year we’ll have three Seasons, each with their own thematic.
In each Season we’ll follow different champions across Runeterra.
There will be an overarching narrative for 2025.
There will be Seasonally-themed content including skins, gameplay updates, modes, mini-games, and champions.
We’ll still have non-Seasonal content as well.
Season One will take place in Noxus.
Noxus is taking over the map in Season One.
There is a new system called Feats of Strength, with new Noxus-themed boot upgrades.
Nexus turrets will respawn.
There are vision-related new runes in the Domination tree, and a new ult-focused rune called Axiom Arcanist.
There are some updates to items.
Atakhan, Bringer of Ruin is coming to League as a new neutral objective, spawning once at 20 minutes in one of two forms, providing unique buffs, terrain changes, and more.
Check out the blog for more details.
We are redoing the Pass system in League—removing Event Passes and Tokens and replacing them with Battle Passes.
Battle Passes will always be active and will have a free and paid track.
For more details, please check out the blog.
We’re going to one single Ranked reset next year in January, with no resets after.
There will still be 3 Victorious skins—one for each Season.
We’re testing replacing Quickplay with Swiftplay in some regions.
We’re exploring adding Multiplayer Practice Tool to League—it’ll be an experimental feature, so there may be some interesting bugs.
Patches are being renamed to line up with Seasons. 15.1 will be 25.S1.1, and the first patch of Season 2 will be 25.S2.1, etc.
