Big changes await players in League of Legends every four months. The first season in 2025 has the theme of Noxus.

New Summoner's Rift Visuals

Your rank will only reset once a year. There will be a specific theme in three seasons per year, which will determine the look of the map as well as the gameplay. In the first season of 2025, the theme is Noxus.

New Epic River Monster: Atakhan

This demon spawns at minute 14 in either the top or bottom river, depending on which side of the map has seen more champion damage and kills. Atakhan takes one of two forms depending on whether there has been a lot or little fighting in the game.

  • Ruinous Atakhan (lots of champion damage): Stronger buffs from epic monsters and some blood roses
  • Voracious Atakhan (low champion damage): Extra gold for champion kills and one-time guardian angel with rebirth in the base

Since Atakhan is tied to the Noxus theme, it is expected that another monster will enter Summoner's Rift in Season 2 of 2025.

Acts of Strength (Extended First Blood / First Turret Rewards)

There are three objectives you can pursue as a team, which will give the team that achieves two of them first additional upgrades for their boots. The three objectives in the early game are:

  • First Blood (first kill in the game, as usual)
  • First tower (first destroyed tower in the game, as usual)
  • Kill three epic monsters
