Atakhan changed, Mel tweaks, and long-awaited nerfs to tank items, all in this update.
League of Legends Patch 25.04 brings a massive (not really) and important change out-of-game. Riot Games decided that they are getting rid of the three-part patch names and are sticking with this new one. So, here are the League of Legends Patch 25.04 Notes that brings big changes to Atakhan and Mel, and finally nerfing tanks.
League of Legends Patch 25.04 Notes

Atakhan changes in LoL 25.04
The way that Atakhan chooses his form will be tweaked.
Early lane trading, or PvP damage in the first few minutes of the game, will weigh more on the "Bloodiness Score" than before. This means that heavier trades will push Atakhan to his Ruinous Form more.
The same weight will be applied to the first few kills per game. Tower dives, whether they cause in kills or not, will grant multiplicatively more points.
