League of Legends Patch 25.21 introduces targeted buffs, nerfs, and item changes that favor aggressive playstyles and scaling champions.
League of Legends Patch 25.21 is live, bringing a series of targeted buffs, nerfs, and item adjustments. With no active professional esports competition on this patch—Worlds 2025 is still running on Patch 25.20—these changes are expected to have greater impact on lower-ranked players and community tournaments.
Much like previous updates, Patch 25.21 rewards aggressive and proactive playstyles. Healers and ability-based champions gain stronger scaling, while durable frontline champions trade some burst for higher survivability. Damage dealers receive minor boosts to mid-game impact, while overly dominant picks are slightly toned down. Starter items and runes have also been adjusted to encourage early trading and punish passive laning.

Item Changes:
Patch 25.21 will not immediately alter the professional esports meta, but it introduces fresh strategies for solo queue and community tournaments, giving supports, junglers, and scaling carries more tools to control fights, encourage creative builds, and improve trading.
