Exciting Preview of LoL Patch 25.20: Get Ready for the Worlds Tournament Update

LoL Patch 25.20 Ushers in Changes for Worlds 2025

Exciting Alterations to Champions for Worlds 2025

As the League of Legends community begins to settle into Patch 25.19, anticipation builds for the imminent release of Patch 25.20, which will be the official version for Worlds 2025. The latest update promises further champion overhauls, following its predecessor’s significant adjustments to the pro play meta. Notably, champions like Jax, LeBlanc, Ahri, and Diana received beneficial buffs in the previous update.

Riot Games continues to refine the jungle meta, placing emphasis on AP junglers by nerfing AD junglers. Significant nerfs are slated for champions such as Warwick, Wukong, Volibear, and Briar, with Wukong facing a preemptive pro-play focused nerf. Meanwhile, Pantheon, who has suffered from extensive nerfs, will receive some buffs to reintroduce him into the meta.

Key Adjustments for Fan-Favorite Champions

Before the commencement of the prestigious Worlds tournament, Riot aims to avoid any drastic changes. However, they have announced subtle adjustments for beloved champions Azir and Camille. Azir will experience a power shift aimed at bolstering his performance in regular play rather than professional settings. Camille will see a power-neutral enhancement to strengthen her role as a dominant AD fighter.

Detailed Patch 25.20 Champion Changes

Champion	Change
Anivia	Q cooldown reduced from 12 – 8 seconds to 11 – 7 seconds
Azir	W AP ratio adjusted to 30 – 70% W extra target damage modified to 28 – 100% at level 9 – 18 E damage increased from 60 – 220 + 40% to 70 – 230 + 60%
Briar	Passive max stacks reduced from 7 to 5
Camille	Armor growth adjusted from 5 to 4.5 W cooldown reduced from 17 – 11 seconds to 15 – 11 seconds

Noteworthy Updates and Anticipations

The upcoming patch is set to impact the mid-lane mage Azir and the jungle’s Wukong significantly. While Azir encounters adjustments to balance his mid-game power, Wukong’s damage output is set to decrease, altering his priority in professional play. Solo queue enthusiasts should pay attention to changes for champions like Fizz, Graves, and Volibear, which may affect itemization and play strategies.
