League of Legends made a crazy start to 2025, with the introduction of Feats of Strength, Atakhan, and other gameplay elements upending the meta. Things have calmed down somewhat since then thanks to attentive patches from Riot, and another set of changes are now on the way.
Patch 25.S1.3 should be ready to go live on February 4, with complete confirmation on exactly what that entails arriving the day before. Until then, Lead Gameplay Designer Matt Leung-Harrison has broken down what players can expect from LoL patch 25.S1.3.
The headline change is an increase to the Attack Speed cap from 2.5 to 3.0. This is to allow more room to experiment with Attack Speed champs without running into random caps that limit the gameplay experience for players.
Outside of that, there are the usual raft of buffs and nerfs with a few massive systems changes. Here’s everything you need to know about LoL patch 25.S1.3.
