Nidalee Jungle is currently not well-balanced, so she will receive a prominent enhancement. Meanwhile, playing Gangplank can feel weak in the Toplane. Since Jax is now in a good spot after LoL patch 25.12, GP will receive buffs to become a viable pick against him.

According to RiotPhroxzon:

"Ryze is looking a bit too unassailable on current tuning, especially after we nerfed a lot of his competition in 25.12. We're not looking for a major nerf here, just a small tap down."

Ryze has been a standout pick in recent times, especially in the professional scene. With significant nerfs, he is expected to be in a balanced state during the MSI 2025.

Similarly, Twisted Fate has become a menace after getting enhancements in patch 25.12. He has been overpowered in solo queue, particularly with Luden's Companion and Hextech Rocketbelt builds that are more performant.

The official League of Legends patch 25.13 will hit the live server on June 25, 2025.
