League of Legends is in for big updates with Patch 25.S1.1, which is set to arrive in early January 2025. This patch brings in a lot of changes, including new items, champion updates, and a Noxus-themed map to align with the theme of the season. Here's everything you need to know.
This new Riot's patch is supposed to hit live early January. Server maintenance times are as follows:
- NA: 3:00 AM PT
- EUW: 5:00 AM UK time
- EUNE: 3:00 AM CET
Changes in map and system
Summoner's Rift will get a Noxus-inspired look, featuring redesigned turrets and inhibitors, and the Nexus. Of course, one of the main features about Nexus Turrets is that they will respawn after some time has passed, thus helping in team defense during the later stages of the game.
A new epic monster, Atakhan, the demon of bloodshed, will spawn in the river depending on team activity in the match. Four new runes replace the older ones: Axiom Arcanist, Deep Ward, Sixth Sense, and Grisly Mementos.
