League patch 10.25 notes: Rell release, Anivia & Pantheon changes

Rell and Pantheon in League of Legends

The final League of Legends update of 2020, patch 10.25, is locked and loaded. Champion 153 ⁠— Rell ⁠— is all set for release, while big changes are on the way for Pantheon and Anivia. Here’s what you need to know about the December 9 patch.

2020 has been a big year for League of Legends, and Riot is certainly ending it on a bang. League of Legends patch 10.25 is set to be one of the biggest of the year as Riot gears up to launching Season 11 properly in the new year.

Over 20 champions and nearly 30 items are being targeted, including a new release in Rell, major overhauls to Anivia and Pantheon, and more smaller changes.

New support Rell set to debut

Rell is the big addition in League patch 10.25.

The sixth and final champion of 2020 is going live in League patch 10.25: Rell, the Iron Maiden. She’s a product of the Black Rose Academy in Noxus, the establishment set up by infamous trickster LeBlanc.

The tank-busting tank support utilizes metalmancy to deal damage ⁠— while taking almost none back from her enemies. You can find more details on Champion 153 here.

Pantheon and Anivia undergoing huge overhauls

There’s over 20 champions getting changes in League patch 10.25, but none of them are as big as the ones Pantheon and Anivia are set to get.

The former is finally getting shifted out of support, and giving him “a place to shine” in the top lane. All four of his abilities are being targeted, but the biggest changes are to his E ⁠— where he will no longer be able to block tower shots.

Anivia is getting a ‘feel-good’ buff to bring her up to speed with newer mid laners. Her kit has more utility in it with buffs to her Q and W, as well as more damage with a big upgrade to her E. Her ultimate is also receiving a quality of life change to make it easier to shift in fights.

Outside of those two, Rengar, Talon, Warwick, and Wukong are all on the target list. Kayle, Kayn, Fizz, Morgana, Annie, Samira, and Jhin (nerfs) will all be in LoL patch 10.25 as well, alongside Lulu, Taliyah, Twitch, Mordekaiser, Qiyana, Karthus, Nidalee, Lee Sin, Gragas, Ivern, Nasus, Seraphine, Yasuo, and Yone (buffs).

A handful of the new items are also being tweaked as preseason 11 continues. This includes all of the Bami’s Cinder items, as well as Muramana, Imperial Mandate, and more.

The changes for Anivia should give her some relevancy in the mid lane.
