The League of Legends 25.07 patch notes are now out. Check out all of the new skins, reworks, champion buffs, and more.
Welcome to April Fools' Day month! Starting from April 2, you can experience some magic and fun in your life by playing League of Legends. With many exciting updates in LoL patch 25.07, there’s a lot to check out.
April Fools' Day event
Party Drake
You'll notice some slight differences in the Summoner's Rift. The Party Drake Soul will be having fun in the pit mid-game, but this one will be special because it will give out lots of buffs.
- Gain 30% Bonus Movement Speed when within 650 range of your allies.
- For every 5% Bonus Movement Speed, gain 1% bonus AD and AP.
Dragon Slayer buff
There will be other small changes to make your games even more goofy.
- Receive a Party Favor item in your inventory. If your item slots are full, the Party Favor will automatically open for you. Party Favors will award a random amount of gold between 150 and 250, and also a Skill Point.
- Gain a groovy disco aura, causing nearby ally minions to sparkle!
Terrain
In the Rift, you'll see small additions like disco pads and ducky disco balls.
- Disco pads will appear in bases and the jungle. Stepping on different Disco pads will grant a stacking Movement Speed buff (Decaying Burst and a constant bonus).
- A duckie disco ball will appear in your base. Clicking on the duckie disco ball will channel an effect, granting you more stacks of movement speed.
Shaco boxes
If you hate Shaco, then you probably won’t be thrilled to see his boxes suddenly appearing all over the Rift. But I can assure you will like these. These will be available both in Summoner's Rift and Howling Abyss (ARAM mode).
- Cat Shaco boxes will spawn along the lane.
- Picking up a box will grant you a random cute effect.
- Every 10 stacks will grant you a Minor Party Favor item.
- We're not sure how Pengu Garen will feel about these boxes.
ARAM, but make it fast
- Summoner Haste increased to 200%.
- Cappa Juice now costs 300 Gold, with no stack limit.
- Snowball is looking a little different.
With the new April Fools' Day additions, some changes may cause bugs to occur. If a Party Favor grants a skill point while you have a full inventory, the skill-up UI won’t pop up until you reach the next level, at which point you’ll be able to spend the extra point.
LeBlanc's visual update
Our powerful and manipulative woman will make her grand return to the Rift while looking better than ever. Her highly-anticipated visual update will be available on April 3, bringing updated models, animations, ability icons, splashes, skins, and more.
LeBlanc's Prestigious skin will get a price increase from 520 RP to 750 RP to reflect the higher quality bar. The Ravenborn Leblanc skin will also have its price increased after lots of changes to the sound effect (SFX), going from 975 RP to 1350 RP. As usual with reworks, if you don't own these skins, you'll have a limited time to buy them at a cheaper price before the Visual Update goes live. Don't miss your chance!
Demon's hand
Riot Games has been enjoying the positive reception and, as a result, will be fixing a small bug in the new game mode. Specifically, an unintended behavior with the “hidden” missions that grant Sigils will be addressed. With this fix, you should now earn them much faster. In fact, your progress toward these hidden missions will increase by about 80% per minute of gameplay. For a full list of rewards, you can check them out here.
System changes in LoL patch 25.07
These changes will solve a recent tactic where mid laners rushed Symbiotic Soles and repeatedly recalled to fill up their health and mana before rushing back to the lane.
Fountain healing
- Maximum HP per second: 10.4% ⇒ 8%
- Maximum MP per second: 12.4% ⇒ 10%
- Early game missing HP/MP per second: 6% ⇒ 16%
- Late game missing HP/MP per second: 12% ⇒ 16%
Homeguard speed
- Early game move speed: 75% ⇒ 65%

Yorick's large-scale update
"We're delivering a large-scale update to Yorick this patch with two primary goals. Firstly, we'd like to make Yorick better for Yorick players, filling in some of his dead points and making him a more complete champion. Second, we'd like to make him stronger in higher-level play, adding some extra skill expression to Yorick and making him more resilient when faced with high-skill opponents. We're also doing some minor adjustments that make Yorick easier to re-tune in the future. More on that later," Riot Games wrote.
