Your League of Legends rank will reset less in 2025, and creepy XP-boosting flowers will now grow around your corpse thanks to the new theme coming in season 1

League of Legends developer Riot has released details on what to expect from the first season of 2025, and there's a lot to unpack. The first season will present a new map design, the trial of a new game mode, and a huge change to how often your rank resets, which I know the majority of players will rejoice over (spoiler alert, it's changing from once per season to once per year). Then there are character overhauls and the addition of a new enemy in the Rift. 

To start, Viktor, one of the game's champions, is receiving a rework to match his character in Arcane more accurately—which applies to his visuals, audio, and backstory. He’ll look more like his model design in Teamfight Tactics, and his ultimate is getting altered to increase in size with every kill until it’s finished. All of Viktor's skins are also being updated to match his new look, but this does mean that his price is going up from 520 RP to 750 RP, so if you're yet to unlock him and don't want to splash the extra cash it's worth making the purchase now before the price increases. 

One of the other biggest changes is the addition of a new Noxus-inspired map to Summoner's Rift. The blue buff and river zones will still have a luscious forest-y look. But bases, red buff lanes, and main lanes themselves will adopt a new look, like something straight out of Noxus Prime. This visual overhaul will affect things within the Rift too, with minions and turrets taking on a new appearance, and even shopkeepers dressing differently to keep up with the new aesthetic. A different plant has been added to the Rift too: the Blood Rose. These will spawn around the spots where champions have died and will give your team a small XP boost, as well as a permanent stacking Adaptive Force buff. 

This map also introduces a new enemy to Summoner's Rift straight from Legends of Runeterra. Atakhan will spawn in the jungle after 20 minutes and target the lane with the most early kills. If no kills have been made, then the boss will
