Changes for Annie, Leona, and Morgana

This patch introduces targeted improvements for Annie, Leona, and Morgana to boost their performance and visibility in current matches:

• Annie: Updates grant her lower cooldowns on key abilities, and her ultimate benefit from additional magic penetration through Tibbers’ passive, giving her potential to secure her place among mid lane picks.
• Leona: To help her compete with other tank supports, her mana pool and efficiency of her passive on both minions and champions have been adjusted. These enhancements make her more reliable during laning and skirmishes.
• Morgana: Minor improvements have been made to her kit, primarily intended to make her support presence more appealing, especially in solo queue scenarios.

Gwen, Kalista, and Other Nerfs

Riot has continued fine-tuning by addressing champions with presently high influence in games:

• Gwen: Her base armor growth and ability power scaling from her passive have both been reduced. This move is intended to temper her dominance, particularly from the jungle role.
• Kalista: Early game pressure from Kalista has been slightly decreased, specifically targeting her impact in professional and competitive play.
• Other nerfs affect select champions such as Naafiri and Yorick.

Nerfed Champions

• Gwen (reduced durability and passive power)
• Kalista (lower early power)

Item adjustments

Several item changes have been implemented in patch 25.09. Rod of Ages saw notable reductions in both its health and ability power values, lowering its effectiveness. Tier three boots, including options like Boots of Swiftness, now provide slightly less movement speed and have a reduced gold cost, making early upgrades more appealing.

Symbiotic Soles received a new passive, giving bonus out-of-combat movement speed, but its Empowered Recall feature was removed. Forever Forward, Spellslinger’s Shoes, and Swiftmarch all had their power toned down to better balance item choices.

Upgraded Boots Overview

Several Tier 3 boots have seen their upgrade costs decreased from 750 to 500 gold, making them more accessible. Notable changes include:

• Armored Advance and Chainlaced Crushers now cost 500 gold.
• Crimson Lucidity, Forever Forward, and Gunmetal Greaves cost 500 gold.
• Spellslinger’s Shoes offer slightly less magic penetration (7% from 8%).
• Swiftmarch now provides 65 movement speed (down from 70) and grants adaptive force equal to 5% of total movement speed instead of a flat percentage bonus.

Summoner spells and runes

Recent modifications have impacted several summoner spells and runes. Ignite now offers increased damage, scaling from 70 up to 475, with altered scaling beginning at level 7. The Biscuit of Everlasting Will rune now restores 20 health plus 2% maximum health, with effectiveness that increases as health decreases. Unflinching consistently provides 10 bonus armor and magic resistance, regardless of level.

Recently Added Outfits in Patch 25.09

Patch 25.09 introduces a new set of Spirit Blossom skins, bringing fresh visual themes inspired by the Ionian festival. This skin line has remained a favorite among players due to its intricate designs and distinctive color palettes. Players can look forward to:

The map itself now features a visual update that ties in with the unique Spirit Blossom motif, enhancing the in-game environment. Riot Games has confirmed that while Spirit Blossom Ashe doesn’t have an accompanying voiceover yet, plans are in place to include it in a future update.

These skins are accessible alongside updates aimed at improving player behavior and in-game cooperation. Dates for additional features, like the Brawl mode, are slated for upcoming patches.
