LoL Patch 25.S1.2

The new season of League of Legends has been released to live servers and it has brought changes that are already changing the game. The introduction of the Feats of Strength mechanic and the new epic monster Atakhan makes the game feel more aggressive and has a stronger momentum. This has made the game faster and more skirmish-oriented as teams are forced to fight for early leads to avoid getting dominated and eliminated.

But this shift has not been without its problems. The community has expressed concern with the current state of balance as some aspects of the game seem overtuned. While players adjust to this new meta, we expect Riot Games to release more changes to balance the competitive play. Check back here later—this article will be updated with tentative balance changes as soon as they are leaked.

Mel Medarda Enters the Rift

In more exciting news, Riot has announced that one of the most awaited champions, Mel Medarda from Arcane, is coming to the Rift. Mel’s release will make Riot add the 170th champion, which will prove that Riot is willing to add more champions to the game and bring more unique gameplay styles.
