@RiotPhroxzon presented concise details regarding the forthcoming modifications in the MOBA. The issue of bounties appearing on the losing team has persisted for some time; therefore, the upcoming patch will effectively address early bounties.

Concurrently, the alterations implemented in LoL patch 25.05 have resulted in significantly less activation of the anti-lane swap in standard matches. The teams in First Stand 2025 also utilized standard lanes before the grubs swap. The developers are looking to identify a more sustainable long-term solution.

Meanwhile, Naafiri has performed poorly for an extended period. As the simplistic assassin archetype has proven ill-suited for her character, the developers are enhancing her complexity and providing her with a more conventional skill set.

Naafiri's W and R abilities will be exchanged, thereby equipping her R with the necessary power budget to facilitate significant moments. Her W ability will serve as a situational damage option or a strategic tool for outplay opportunities.

The League of Legends patch 25.06 patch will hit the live server on March 19, 2025.
