Patch 25.14 of League of Legends is coming with quite a few changes that’ll affect both veterans and those new to the game. Most notably, we’re getting a long-overdue rework of Kled, while the newest champion, Yunara, enters the Rift with a unique ability kit. Let’s go over all that’s coming in the patch.
Kled Getting Reworked Again
The developers have been working to update Kled’s gameplay, since it’s been feeling out of place compared to other top lane fighters. The changes mostly aim to reduce the punishment for being dismounted and to make his abilities smoother overall.
Passive – Skaarl, the Cowardly Lizard
Now Kled instantly heals when he remounts Skaarl at 100 Courage, which feels way better. Also, while dismounted, he gains bonus resistances that scale with his bonus HP.
They changed how Courage is gained, too. It’s now +5 for minion kills, but champion takedowns don’t give it anymore. And speed penalty when dismounted was lowered from 60% to 40%.
Q – Bear Trap / Pocket Pistol
His Qs both got adjustments. The mounted version no longer applies grievous wounds, does less AD, but lasts longer and is easier to land. Pocket Pistol also got tuned to be more consistent with better enemy detection.
W – Violent Tendencies
It’s got a longer cooldown now, but scales with bonus health too, not just AD. Also, it won’t cancel anymore when attacking wards, which is nice.
E – Jousting
Mostly the same, but Riot improved how it feels. The hitbox is bigger, and a new recast indicator has been added.
R – CHAAARGE!!!
His ult damage now converts to magic and scales a bit differently. Enemies in its path now get marked more clearly too.
When is it live?
These changes are in PBE already and should hit live with Patch 25.14 around July 16th.
Yunara: The New ADC Arrives
Yunara is the latest ADC coming in the patch, themed around Ionia. She uses both physical and magical damage, and has one of the more interesting ultimates recently.
Lore & Release
She’s a protector of the Spirit Realm, sealing away dark powers. You’ll be able to unlock her for BE or RP once patch releases on July 16.
Passive – Vow of the First Lands
Whenever Yunara crits, she deals extra magic damage that scales off her AP. This makes her itemization a bit flexible.
Q – Cultivation of Spirit
Her auto attacks build Unleash stacks, up to 8. Once full, her next Q consumes it to grant bonus attack speed, on-hit magic damage, and AoE shots that can crit. In her ultimate state, this triggers automatically.
W – Arc of Judgment / Ruin
Normally it’s a boomerang projectile that slows enemies, but in her ultimate, it turns into a beam that deals damage and helps with waveclear.
E – Kanmei’s Steps / Untouchable Shadow
Outside of Ult, it’s just a speed boost. In Transcendence, it becomes a dash that breaks walls and resets.
R – Transcend One’s Self
This is her big moment — she gets a 15-second form where everything enhances. Q goes on by itself, W becomes a laser, E resets and becomes a dash.
Patch 25.14 seems like it’ll shake things up quite good. Kled is now more forgiving and tankier when off Skaarl, and Yunara introduces an ADC who rewards proper planning and good mechanics. Between all the changes, Summoner’s Rift might start to look a bit different soon.
