After a largely successful season based on the in-game region of Noxus, League of Legends [1] is back with a brand new season, but this time it’s based on Ionia. League of Legends 2025 Season 2 brought with it many major changes, though they may be too many to notice without reading the patch notes.
We’re here with a better alternative, which is highlighting the best additions and changes of the new League of Legends season. Based on the Spirit Blossom universe and featuring multiple Ionian-based champions, the new season brought a new Atakhan, adjusted gameplay aspects, rebalanced some champions, and added some quality of life improvements.
So, if you’re interested in learning what the new League of Legends season added to the game, keep reading because we have you covered. Of course, you may also want to start the season right by having someone get your rank up while the MMR is good. To do this, we recommend you hire a professional League of Legends booster from Eloking. You can even use the code “BoostToday” for an excellent 20% discount.
What’s new in the League of Legends Season 2, Spirit Blossom?
League of Legends Season 2 has a Spirit Blossom theme, which changes the UI and the Summoner’s Rift map to match. The update features cherry blossoms, more colors, and numerous flowers. Multiple Spirit Blossom skins are in the game for Bard, Zyra, Varus, Ivern, Ashe, Irelia, and Lux, alongside the map. Twitch gets a Pool Party cosmetic.
The Season 2 Act 1 Battle Pass has 55 levels of rewards, with the highlights being Spirit Blossom Ivern, Pool Party Twitch, and Prestige Spirit Blossom Lux. Other tiers have Hextech Chests, Champion Capsules, and Orange Essence.
How has Atakhan changed in League of Legends Season 2?
Thornbound Atakhan replaces Season 1’s Voracious and Ruinous forms, having a single objective tied to the Black Rose’s influence. It spawns on the side of the map with the most activity and causes Bloody Roses to appear near kills and his pits. Teams that defeat him get all the unclaimed Bloody Roses as Spirit Petals, a Bloody Petal bonus with 25% increased XP and Adaptive Force, and the Spiritual Purification buff. This buff strengthens takedowns to damage and slow nearby opponents while giving more Spirit Petals.
Spiritual Purification’s AoE will accelerate comebacks or solidify leads, while the removal of two forms allows easier decision-making. These changes align with Season 2’s emphasis on streamlining objectives and increasing the impact of teamfights..
Why was Atakhan reworked in League of Legends?
Atakhan was already a relatively new addition in League of Legends, being added in the Noxus-based previous season. However, it seems the monster was too unreliable because of its two forms. Voracious Atakhan would rarely spawn, and when it did, the team that defeated it had too big of an advantage thanks to the false life buff.
On the other hand, Ruinous Atakhan, which was the more common form, wasn’t too popular. According to pro-level players, Ruinous Atakhan “didn’t give dopamine when it was killed,” which makes sense, considering most players used to leave the spot without picking up the spawned flowers because the risk outweighed the potential advantages.
Having a way to ensure players instantly get not only all the flowers that would have spawned after defeating the monster, but also every flower on the map, gives players a much bigger incentive to actually go for the monster.

What gameplay adjustments are introduced in League of Legends Season 2
Bounties have gone through tweaks to improve comeback potential. Objective Bounties now scale up to 10% of the gold difference, capped at 1000g, instead of a flat 60% bonus. Champion Bounties suppress until a team is a bit ahead, preventing high-risk carries from accidentally feeding shutdown gold. Base kill gold scales with levels up to 520g, and positive bounties from kills, assists, and farming increase by 17% and 14%, respectively. These changes will reduce snowballing while rewarding proper aggression.
Void Grubs and Rift Herald have also been adjusted. Grubs spawn later at 8:00 instead of 6:00, no longer respawn, and grant buffs when players kill 3 Grubs instead of 4. The Herald’s encounter deals more current HP damage but loses single-target debuffs, so champions can take them quickly when they’re alone. Also, lane swap detection penalizes supports in solo lanes by denying minion gold/XP, while non-supports avoid penalties, reducing unnecessary XP loss during roams.
What QoL improvements are in League of Legends Season 2?
Only one player per team can have Smite, which is automatically assigned to the jungler, while supports start with the World Atlas. Players can swap roles during Champion Select to adapt to these role-specific rules. The death screen includes a spectate UI and color adjustments, allowing players to look at their teammates more conveniently until they respawn.
Lane swap rules now specifically target support players in top/mid lanes, blocking gold/XP if accompanied by another champion. Turret damage penalties get a 1000% increase if two non-junglers, including a support, are detected. These changes prevent cheese strategies like duo-top Sion and Kai’Sa while allowing roaming for midlaners.
The griefing detection system has been upgraded to identify smaller forms of sabotage, such as intentional inefficiency or refusal to cooperate, alongside obvious behavior. Players will receive notifications naming offenders, whether they reported them or not. Chat restrictions now apply to Champion Select and post-game lobbies to reduce toxicity.
What Champions received balance changes in League of Legends Season 2?
Gwen gets nerfs to armor growth and damage, while Leona’s buffs make her passive last longer and reduce the mana cost of her kits. Annie’s kit deals more damage and is more efficient, and Ashe’s Q has a higher attack speed. Kalista’s base health and AD are reduced, but her AD growth is higher to compensate for it.
Other changes include Orianna’s abilities consuming less mana, Rengar’s item updates, Shen’s Q damage, and Yorick’s reduced monster passive damage. The update alters 12 champions, changing the meta and addressing outliers in pro play and casual queues.
New upcoming ADC champion in League of Legends Season 2
The champion rebalances aren’t the only changes players have to experience with the new League of Legends season. Those who watched the Spirit Blossom Beyond reveal trailer may have spotted the completely unknown character. Well, according to leaks, she’s an upcoming champion named Yunara.
It’s unknown how her abilities will work, as all players have to go on are speculations. However, she’ll likely have some sort of healing abilities, which is odd, considering she’s slated to be an ADC. Therefore, there’s a good chance that Yunara may be the first self-sustainable ADC in League of Legends. If true, players who play support alongside the upcoming champion will have more flexibility to roam and support other lanes, since Yunara won’t need anyone hovering over her.
FAQs
How long will League of Legends 2025 Season 2 last?
League of Legends 2025 Season 2 is slated to last until August 2025. Like the first season, which had two splits, it wouldn’t be surprising if this season did the same, with the Battle Pass also changing after the first split to give players a chance to get even more in-game goodies and rewards.
Which skin is featured in the League of Legends 2025 Season 2 battle pass?
While the League of Legends Season 2 2025 battle pass has multiple skins, including Pool Party Twitch, the standout is easily the Prestige Spirit Blossom Lux. After reaching tier 50, those who purchase the battle pass using Riot Points will get the chance to acquire this excellent skin.
How many seasons will League of Legends have in 2025?
It’s already confirmed that League of Legends will have a total of three seasons in 2025, all set in different regions of Runeterra. The first region was based on Noxus, while the second one is based on Ionia. Therefore, it would make sense to have the third season be based on Demacia, especially considering it’s one of the most popular regions and even features multiple fan-favorite champions. Alternatively, going to the twin cities of Zaun and Piltover may also be a good idea, as it would likely attract a lot of Arcane fans to the game.
