League of Legends - News, Stats, Players, Teams, and More

The 2025 season of League of Legends brings a powerful boost to Minions. Faster, stronger, and more efficient than ever, minions are no longer just a stepping stone for champions but a critical part of gameplay strategy you’ll need to respect or succumb to their power.

In line with the invasion of the Rift by Noxus, Minions have been reimagined as resilient and effective soldiers. These changes make them faster and deadlier, with improved damage output and scaling. For the joy of AD carry players, the XP range for Minions has increased to 1500 units, but to the burden of roaming players, Minions’ damage against turrets and champions now sits at 55 percent—up from 50 percent. 

League of Legends is turning red as Noxus makes its way to Summoner’s Rift, introducing multiple changes that will change existing systems in the game.

With Noxus taking over League, players are getting a total revamp in the Noxian colors where multiple game-changing objective changes, champion adjustments, new runes, and a new epic monster are making their way on the Summoner’s Rift. 

Teleport has always been a pivotal ability in League of Legends, shaping how you play and manage your gameplay, and the 2025 season introduces significant changes that will alter how Teleport functions across the map. 

This Summoner Spell has undergone several changes the past 15 years, but it has always been among the strongest spells you could pick. Over time, as your and other players’ skill and knowledge of the game increase, Teleport has become a powerful tool that lacks a clear weakness. You can use it to push your advantage in lane if you’re ahead or rely on it as a fallback if you’re behind in farming—looking at you, Nasus mains.

In League of Legends Season 2025, a game-changing feature has arrived: Triumphant Boots upgrades. These unique upgrades add a new layer of strategy to early-game objectives, offering powerful bonuses that can tilt the balance in your favor.

This year, thanks to the arrival of Noxus on the Rift, you and your teammates can earn significant advantages by completing two of three Feats of Strength objectives: first blood, first turret, and first neutral objective. Whichever team accomplishes these feats first will unlock a special upgrade to their Tier Two boots, known as Triumphant Boots. For those of you without Tier Two boots at the time of the competition of the objectives the upgrade will be granted automatically—so no need to rush buying T2 boots in early game. Here’s everything you need to know about how they work and how to unlock them in League.

Riot Games practically adds new skins to League of Legends with every patch. The one champion who has amassed the most so far is rather underrated, though.

That is Miss Fortune, one of the original characters in League. The fact that she has as many as 21 skins was pointed out on Reddit on Jan. 6. The data on League’s wiki says the character has 22 skins. However, one of them, Prestige Bewitching Miss Fortune, is displayed twice (since her original version is not available anymore). So 21 is the correct count, and is still enough to put her atop the League skins list.

G2 Esports are heading into another expected year of dominance in the LEC, and having won every title in the region, the next step is returning to international glory. Rasmus “Caps” Borregaard Winther has been there through the highs and the lows. From claiming G2’s first international title to crashing out against North America’s NRG, the veteran mid-laner has seen it all with G2.

Coming off the back of another disappointing World Championship run in October, the organization brought in fresh faces to get the organization back on track. In comes Rudy “SkewMond” Semaan, a young jungler from Europe’s development scene, and Labros “Labrov” Papoutsakis, a highly touted support player looking to unlock his potential. In an exclusive interview with Dot Esports, Caps detailed how these new players will define the future, how they have been doing in practice, and the overall practice quality of Europe.

It would take hundreds, maybe thousands of hours playing League of Legends to collect every champion without spending hard-earned cash by the truckload. That’s why Riot Games gives away weekly free champions, so you can try them out before committing to buying any.

Every Tuesday, 20 out of the 169 total League champions are selected to become free-to-play in unranked playlists. Here are this week’s free champions.

Global sports franchise Paris Saint-Germain has left the League of Legends scene, going its separate ways with Talon Esports—but both organizations are open to collaborating in the future if the “right opportunities arise.”

After over four years in the League space, PSG is officially ending its partnership with LCP organization Talon. The collaboration oversaw a new era in the region with multiple domestic trophies and the occasional respectable performance on the international stage, most noticeably a top-four finish at the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational.

Arcane season two continues the tale of Piltover and Zaun as Jinx and Vi take center stage to conclude the epic saga shaping the future of Runterra. And there are plenty of Easter eggs to spot for eagle-eyed viewers.

While cherishing Arcane, the popular series also hides sneaky secrets and references to League of Legends, which are a great delight to find in the nitty-gritty details of the series. If you’re a League enthusiast, these Easter eggs provide an extra layer of depth to the series for loyal fans, enriching your experience of watching the show.

Sometimes, the smallest changes can have the most profound impact. For League of Legends players, Riot Games’ decision to remove summoner names from ranked champion select is still worth celebrating as one of the developer’s best decisions three years after its implementation.

Riot first introduced the change to hide summoner names from ranked champion select in November 2022, and three years later, the community still seems to appreciate the improvement. At the time, Riot explained how many players use external sites and apps to gather information about teammates, leading to conclusions “that aren’t necessarily correct” and undue pressure, like forcing teammates to pick champions with the highest win rates or avoid certain picks.
