Welcome to the first patch of the new year! Prepare to portal into the world of Yordles this patch with new Yordle champions, a new Yordle themed Rift, a Yordle themed pass and events, and an overpowering new mode. This patch also includes a durability update that will increase the health and resistances for almost all champions to make your fights last a little longer and allow for more skill expression.

Reminder: content will be released throughout the patch.

NEW

NEW CHAMPIONS

Yordles have arrived! Thanks to the wonderful magic of Bandle City, three popular Yordle champions are joining the fray in this patch. Who says Yordles are mere squirts? They pack some serious punch!

Rumble, the Mechanized Menace, is the first Yordle hero to hit this patch! A young inventor with a temper, the feisty Yordle uses nothing more than his own two hands and a heap of scrap to construct a colossal mech suit outfitted with an arsenal of electrified harpoons and incendiary rockets. Rumble brings explosive AoE damage to every team fight—he's impossible to ignore!

Rumble will go live with Patch 6.0 on Jan 9 at 00:01 UTC

Gnar, the Missing Link. Don't be fooled by that fluffy, adorable face, this little guy's got a mean streak! Gnar is a mercurial top-laner who can switch between a small, nimble ranged form and a hulking melee beast once his Fury is fully charged. Watch out when he goes big!

Gnar will be released later in the patch cycle.

Poppy, Keeper of the Hammer, has no shortage of valiant champions, but few are as tenacious as Poppy! Bearing the legendary hammer of Orlon, a weapon twice her size, this resilient top-laner charges headlong into battles and dominates duels. Fragile foes, beware!

Poppy will be released later in the patch cycle.

SUMMONER'S RIFT

Bandle Rift

With the Hextech craze over, it's time for the Rift to don a new look! Magic from Bandle City engulfs the Rift and fills it with a mysterious power! With Hextech Rift's themed mechanics being replaced by new Bandle Rift mechanics, an exciting and magical journey awaits you in the Rift!

We also designed a bunch of easter eggs based on the Yordle champions' colors and characteristics, and also memes from players that will surely bring a smile to your face. As you collect more of them, there will be a surprise waiting for you!

Enchanted Mushrooms

[New] Mechanics:

• Starting from 1 minute into the game, mushrooms will spawn behind the turrets, picking them up grants you gold.

• A mushroom will spawn every 3 seconds, up to 6 mushrooms.

• Mushrooms will keep spawning throughout the entire game and will only spawn behind the outermost turret that can be attacked.

• Mushrooms that spawn behind Outer Turrets grant 2 gold; Mushrooms that spawn behind Inner Turrets grant 3 gold; Mushrooms that spawn behind Inhibitor Turrets grant 5 gold.

• You can destroy the opponent's Enchanted Mushrooms, but you will not gain any gold.

Enchanted Buff

[Retained] Mechanics:

• Starting from 7.5 minutes into the game, newly-spawned Red Brambleback and Blue Sentinel will evolve into Empowered Red Brambleback and Empowered Blue Sentinel. After being defeated by the jungler, they will drop Crest of Cinders and Crest of Insight respectively, and can be picked up by a teammate to gain the same buff.

[New] Mechanics:

• Starting from 12 minutes into the game, newly-spawned Red Brambleback and Blue Sentinel will evolve into Evolved Red Brambleback and Evolved Blue Sentinel. After being defeated by any player, all surviving teammates will receive Crest of Cinders or Crest of Insight buff.

Enchanted Gates

[New] Mechanics:

• Spawn Mechanics:

  • From 7.5 minutes to 11.5 minutes into the game, four pairs of one-way Enchanted Gates will spawn. Players can use them to teleport from the team's base to their jungle.

  • From 12 minutes into the game to end of the game, two pairs of two-way Enchanted Gates will spawn. Players can use them to teleport between one of the team's jungle to the other.

• Using the Enchanted Gate:

  • A 1.5 second channeling time is required to use the gate.

  • Once a pair of the gates is used by any player, both gates will enter a 15-second cooldown. Enchanted Gate on cooldown cannot be used by any player.

Enchanted Ensemble

[New] Mechanics:

• At 5 minutes into the game, a new neutral epic monster, Enchanted Ensemble, will spawn at the original location of the Rift Herald.

Enchanted Ensemble Abilities:

• Upon entering combat, the three instrument monsters will combine into Rift Herald.

• Basic Attack: Melee attack.

• Get Flattened!: After charging for a brief period, Rift Herald slams into the ground, dealing physical damage and knocking back targets in an area.

• After Rift Herald exits combat, returns to its original location and heals back to full health, if it does not enter combat within 5 seconds, it will leave its combined state and split into the three instrument monsters.

Enchanted Ensemble defeat reward:

• The killer will have all their abilities' remaining cooldown reduced by 75%.

• The killer can summon Enchanted Ensemble, and it will assist them in destroying the enemy turret.

• Summoned Enchanted Ensemble Abilities:

• After being summoned, Rift Herald will directly head towards the nearest turret.

• After entering turret range, it will start charging and slam into the turret, dealing damage to it.

• After slamming into the turret, Rift Herald will split into the three instrument monsters.

• The instrument monsters will use basic attack, gaining stacking Attack Speed each time they attack.

Baron Nashor
As T-Hex Mecha will not be in the new Bandle Rift, we provide more rewards for defeating Baron Nashor by buffing the minion-empowering effect he gives.

[Adjusted] Mechanics:

• Baron Nashor is influenced by the magic of Bandle City and gains new abilities. Slaying him also grants new rewards.

• He spawns for the first time 12 minutes into the game and respawns 3.5 minutes after each time he is slain.

• Slaying Baron Nashor grants the Hand of Baron buff that boosts the Attack Damage, Ability Power, Armor, and Magic Resist of all allied champions and reduces recall time.

• While Hand of Baron is active, newly-spawned allied minion wave will be empowered:

  • Each minion wave now consists of two melee minions (Super minions will replace them as usual), a siege minion, and an Enchanted Trumpet minion.

  • Melee Minion: Gains bonus damage reduction.

  • Siege Minion: Uses ranged attack and can deal splash damage. Gains bonus damage reduction.

  • Enchanted Trumpet Minion: Upgraded version of caster minions. In addition to using basic attacks, it will also heal allied minions. Gains bonus damage reduction

  • Super Minion: Gains bonus damage reduction.

Abilities:

• Baron's Gaze (Passive): Baron Nashor's target is slowed and deal less damage to him.

• Soundwave Overture: Emits a powerful soundwave, dealing magic damage to nearby enemies and reducing their Armor and Magic Resist.

• Notes Deluge: Rains down musical notes, dealing magic damage to enemies nearby where the notes land and turning them into musical instruments for a short period.

• Rousing Symphony: Plays a frenzied melody and marks an enemy, dealing magic damage to the marked target and nearby enemies multiple times.

• Rear Spikes: Summons underground wooden spikes to impale enemies behind him, dealing magic damage and stunning them.

Elder Dragon

The chain lightning effect of Elder Immolation was removed in the new Bandle Rift and replaced by a burn effect, which was also buffed to compensate for the durability adjustment made to Champions to reduce the length of games.

[Adjusted] Mechanics:

• Elder Immolation: Deals damage to enemies while burning them, dealing 450 true damage over 3 seconds. When dealing damage to an enemy champion with less than 15% of their maximum health, it will detonate that champion with Dragon Flame, dealing true damage equal to 100% of their maximum health.

GAMEPLAY CHANGES

CHAMPION ENDURANCE CHANGES

We've increased all champions' endurance.

Low survivability often made teamfights and skirmishes feel too sudden and chaotic. To address this, we've increased the survivability stats of all champions. You can now expect longer battles with more opportunities to show off your skills. This update aims to improve the game's pace and enhance the fun of tactical decision-making during combat.

As part of this endurance update, we've increased base stats for all champions, including Base Health, Health per level, Base Armor, Armor per level, Base Magic Resist, and Magic Resist per level.

Meanwhile, we've reduced the healing, shielding, and durability provided by most items. While increased endurance makes these effects more impactful, we've adjusted them to avoid overly long matches or unkillable opponents.

In addition, for balance reasons, we've made targeted adjustments to a few champions, runes, and summoner spells to ensure they align with the endurance update in this patch.

We have listed in-detail stats changes for champions, items and runes at the end of this patch notes, please refer to it for more information.

SUPPORT LANE

Game experience and styles vary between all of the support champions, some are specialized in protecting their teammates, others are capable of grabbing the perfect moment to initiate a fight. These abilities and great support play is crucial to victory and we hope support players’ teammates can more prominently feel their contribution to the team. Meanwhile, we’d love to highlight more of the traits of support champions, so they focus more on the champions’ abilities and their own skills.

Available at 01/24/2025, 00:00:00 (UTC+0)

As the war between sweetness and saltiness goes into stalemate, humans grow tired of these tastes and are just going through the motions of fighting for their factions. Looks like it's time to add some SPICE to their life! With a maniacal laughter, the Chili Immortal descends upon the world on their Spicy Nimbus and does their wild magic—weird, fiery peppers start growing everywhere in the Rift! With that, he makes a declaration: From now on, spiciness shall rule over all other tastes. This plunged the world into a new age of multi-sided war. Many were unwilling to accept this new flavor that appeared suddenly—until a wanderer takes a leap of faith and tries the weird pepper. After a loud bang, the wanderer undergoes a complete transformation: their face becomes red and shiny, and is brimming with energy. But more importantly, they gained superhuman powers and could jump ten times higher than usual! It has become obvious that the weird pepper, now known as Devilish Pepper, brings various benefits and no one wants to miss out on this great opportunity.

Augment Randomization Optimization

Optimized the pool of Augments that champions can receive at random. The Augments being pushed now are more compatible with champions' traits. We will not modify the results of randomization based on the results of games. We will merely try to ensure that a champion will not randomly receive Augments that are completely unsuitable for them (e.g. Garen will not receive Mana-related Augments due to randomness).

Item Prices

Similar to Arena, we will increase the sale prices of items to 100% of their purchase prices. As a result, you can now select desired items more flexibly.
