League of Legends has a lot of exciting changes coming in 2025, but this last patch of the year is a pretty small one aside from the Viktor rework.

It’s at the point where Viktor players are protesting the changes, hoping that they can stop the rework from going through. However, fans of Arcane who are coming over from the show are sure to be happy to see the Viktor they know and love represented in LoL.

Additionally, Ambessa is set to get some nerfs due to her complete dominance in high MMR, along with some pretty significant Warwick and Rell changes and several small-scale balance changes.

The highly anticipated Noxus season will be coming on patch 15.1, with an early set of notes you can read here.

In the meantime, here’s every change coming in League of Legends patch 14.24:
