League of Legends is finally leaving Noxus and entering Ionia with a new Summoner’s Rift map, showcasing the lush and aesthetic side of Ionia mixed with the spirits.
Just like every patch, League is getting champion buffs and nerfs, but the highlight of this update has to be the Negative Behaviour systems. The developer is taking steps to ensure that players who intentionally play poorly receive appropriate punishments or bans.

What’s in LoL Patch 25.09?
League Patch 25.09 consists of a series of buffs/nerfs, including fundamental adjustments to stop the power creep using a few spells, like teleport.

System Buffs

Ignite
Teleport has been the dominant Summoner Spell to take in the higher Elo, and the developer is looking to buff Ignite to help it gain some popularity among the players. They’re also buffing it post-level six to avoid support players using it as a tool to get early advantages in the bot lane.

System Adjustments
The following items and runes will all be getting adjustments in League Patch 25.09.
Biscuits
Riot is noticing players holding onto their biscuits from the early game and using the influx of HP to shift the tides in teamfights after their changes. The developer is now aiming to take some power off it, while keeping it relevant for most players.
Feat Boots
The Feat boots are being strengthened to better match how strong players perceive themselves, as they were underperforming compared to expectations. A small nerf has been made to Swiftness while balancing the overall power level of tier two boots.
Symbiotic Soles
The Empowered Recall will be removed from the base boots, as this effect was too impactful during the laning phase. The boot will now focus more on map mobility, especially in the mid-to-late game, aligning it with its intended role.
