League of Legends Patch 25.13 Notes: Yunara Release, Champion Balance Changes, and Spirit Blossom Act 2
45
Patch 25.13 is coming very soon — on July 25, to be exact.This update will bring the second act of the Spirit Blossom event along with a new battle pass, and it’s expected to introduce the new champion — Yunara. However, the developers are still keeping most of the details under wraps, only teasing what’s coming. So let’s take a look at what we do know so far.
League of Legends Patch 25.13 Details
The first thing Riot confirmed about Patch 25.13 is champion balance changes. While the list isn’t too long, the adjustments are expected to have a positive impact on the affected champions.
Below is a table with all the known champion changes in Patch 25.13.
| Champion | Changes |
| Gangplank | – Lost a lot of poke power after Biscuit mana removal; mana regen compensation wasn’t enough. – Slightly buffing poke despite concerns. – Also buffing one of his unique mechanics to reinforce his identity. |
| Irelia | – Currently too weak; buffing her in extended skirmishes with full passive. – Focused on lane phase, especially for high ELO. – Previous nerfs aimed at pro/high ELO were a bit too effective. |
| Ryze | – Reducing early power from rank 1 poke that gave him easy leads and safety. – If he reaches level 6 smoothly — so be it. |
| Nidalee | – Creative buffs: improving hit reliability of max-range spears. – Mostly benefits jungle Nidalee, though top lane gets some value too. |
| Rammus | – Landed too weak after emergency pre-release nerfs. – Restoring some of his late-game tankiness. – Buffing builds where is maxed first or second. |
| Twisted Fate | – Slightly pulling back the ultimate buff from the previous patch. |
| Fiddlesticks | – Adding power in a way that doesn't overly buff support Fiddle — focused on jungle role. |
Overall, the changes feel well-balanced: underpowered champions like Irelia and Rammus are getting some love, overly frustrating mechanics like Ryze’s early poke are being toned down, and unique identity is being restored to those who’ve lost it — like Gangplank. Everything looks clean and thoughtful, without any drastic overbuffs or game-breaking shifts.
The Nidalee change stands out the most — the buff to her long-range spears is creative and spot-on. It rewards accuracy and skill rather than just boosting raw damage, which is always a more satisfying direction.
League of Legends New Champion Yunara
Of course, one of the most anticipated parts of Patch 25.13 is the release of th
e new League champion — Yunara. Both fans and Riot Games have been actively promoting her across all social media platforms. Alongside a cinematic champion trailer, Riot also revealed Yunara League of Legends: Skills, which we’ve already covered in a detailed breakdown.
However, both the developers and insiders are keeping the exact release date under wraps. Based on everything that’s already been shown and teased, Yunara is expected to launch either in Patch 25.13 or during the second half of Spirit Blossom Act 2.

We’re also expecting the new Spirit Blossom Act 2 Battle Pass, which will offer a wide range of both free and premium rewards. Here’s a quick look at what you can get. By fully completing the pass, you’ll receive 11,250 Blue Essence, 1,025 Orange Essence, and an additional 25 Mythic Essence. On top of that, you’ll get a generous amount of Hextech Chests. And that’s still not all — the pass is packed with rewards.
League of Legends Patch 25.13 — Opinion
LoL Patch 25.13 looks solid in terms of champion balance. The devs made smart buffs to underperforming champions like Irelia and Rammus, and toned down some frustrating aspects — such as Ryze’s early poke. Some changes, like the ones to Nidalee, stand out as especially interesting — it’s clear the focus is on rewarding skillful play rather than just tweaking numbers.
There’s plenty of content too, though Riot is still keeping some details under wraps — we might see more revealed closer to release. Overall, the patch feels like a step in the right direction, with no major overcorrections. Now it’s just a matter of waiting and seeing how it all plays out in-game.
