Key Buffs in League of Legends Patch 25.24
League of Legends Patch 25.24 gives Braum, Nasus, Sejuani, Swain, and Viktor some much-needed love so they can keep up with current picks. Braum gets extra base HP and way higher Concussive Blows follow-up damage, which makes his early fights way scarier. Nasus also picks up more HP plus higher base Q damage, so stacking on lane feels safer and less coin-flip around cannon minions.
Sejuani’s Q cooldown and mana cost go down while AP ratios across Q, W, and E go up, which helps both tank and AP styles in League of Legends Patch 25.24. Swain sees his passive healing flattened to a stronger, consistent value, and Viktor’s Q shield gets buffed so trading with auto-Q is less punishing.
Big Nerfs in League of Legends Patch 25.24
The nerf list in League of Legends Patch 25.24 mostly targets junglers that were running games a bit too freely. Dr. Mundo loses max damage to monsters on Q across all ranks, which slows his clear and tones down his farm patterns without deleting top lane. Kayn’s Shadow Assassin passive bonus damage gets lowered, so blue form one-shots are a little less free, while Kha’Zix drops some base W damage that hurts waveclear and poke.
Master Yi takes hits to base health and AD growth, leaving him a bit easier to punish early, and Zed’s passive monster modifier is lowered from 2x to 1.8x, cutting his jungle clear speed. Mel’s E damage and mana profile are toned down, and Zaahen keeps earlier nerfs that reduce passive AD per stack and E sweet-spot damage, especially in stronger lobbies.
New ARAM Mayhem Augments and Items
League of Legends Patch 25.24 pulls a bunch of Arena toys into ARAM Mayhem, with Prismatic augments tuned for one-lane chaos. Earthwake drops explosions along every dash or blink, Orbital Laser swaps a summoner for a huge delayed strike that chunks max health, and Trueshot Prodigy fires Ezreal’s ultimate automatically from long-range hits. Cerberus gives both Hail of Blades and Press the Attack at once, Pandora’s Box rerolls all augments into random Prismatics, and Stackosaurus Rex massively boosts all permanent stacks on champs like Nasus and Veigar.
Ultimate Awakening is reworked so casting ultimate resets basic abilities and stacks a huge amount of ability haste on them for a short window. Two Arena items also show up in Mayhem: Hextech Gunblade with mixed AD/AP stats plus lifesteal, spell vamp, and a lightning active, and Sword of Blossoming Dawn for enchanter-style sustain with heal/shield power and supportive on-hit healing.
Rune and Client Tweaks Worth Noting
League of Legends Patch 25.24 also nudges one key rune and some quality-of-life systems. Legend: Bloodline gains more lifesteal per stack and a higher cap, which quietly helps crit carries and on-hit champions survive longer fights.
On the client side, experimental WASD controls roll out to more casual queues, and champ select stops players from banning allies’ hovered picks while earlier speed-ups are now active everywhere.
