League of Legends patch 25.20 notes: The Worlds 2025 patch

League of Legends patch 25.20 notes were released on October 8, 2025. While these changes will be viable during LoL Worlds 2025, some updates are also intended for ranked players. Several champions are being nerfed, as they were too overpowered at lower skill levels, and some adjustments are expected to retain the win rates, all while buffing or nerfing the characters.

Here are the alterations in the League of Legends patch 25.20.
