Read up on all the new PBE changes to get up to date on the upcoming Patch 25.06. Highlights include new Battle Academia skins, the Naafiri gameplay update, and an update to Champion Mastery Crests!
These changes appeared on PBE on the 5th of March, but have been slowly shifting over the past week, and may continue to do so. As such, keep in mind that not all of these changes may make it to the live patch. If you’d like to check any of the following changes out before Wednesday, hop on PBE and queue up!
New Cosmetics - Battle Academia
Four new students are enrolling into the Battle Academia skinline. You can acquire Battle Academia Kayn and Battle Academia Rakan for 1350 RP, and Battle Academia Xayah for 1820 RP. Kayn will also come with four possible Chroma options, while Rakan has the full eight Chroma spread. Each chroma costs 290 RP, or you can acquire a Chroma Pack for a discounted price.
Prestige Battle Academia Qiyana will also be joining the fray, and you can acquire this skin by expending 150 Mythic Essence in the Mythic Shop starting Wednesday.
Client Changes
Champion Mastery Crest Update
In early 2024, the Champion Mastery system received an overhaul which involved changing the previously distinctly Targonian style Mastery Crests with a sleeker design, as seen below. Community feedback has been staunchly negative since the announcement, and Riot has finally decided to update the Crests in this upcoming patch.
Game Changes
Champion Kill Bounties
Bounty suppression start time has been reduced to 6:00 from 14:00. The suppression effectiveness now begins at 30% instead of 0%, and the suppression per deficit stage has increased to 30% from 20%.
Lane Swap Detector Changes
Detection start time has been increased to 1:35 from 1:30. Minion experience and gold penalties have been reduced, both going down to 25% from 50%, making things a little less punishing for lane swappers. The "Lane swap detected! Please leave the area!" warning now only plays as a warning when detected players are at a certain distance away from the zone where penalties are applied.
