League of Legends patch 25.13 notes: Fiddlesticks, Vi, Ryze, and more get power changes ahead of MSI 2025
The League of Legends patch 25.13 is almost here, and with it comes a set of changes aimed at keeping the game balanced for both solo queue and pro play. The developer of the title, Riot Games, has only made a few adjustments this time, which makes sense since the current meta is already stable. These changes will be applied before the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) 2025 begins. Game designer Matt Leung-Harrison, known as RiotPhroxzon, revealed the patch preview on X (formerly Twitter) on June 17, 2025. He shared the full list of champions getting buffs and nerfs in patch 25.13. Patch 25.13 Preview!This is the MSI patch! Pretty short list, we're mostly happy with where the meta is at, given that a bunch of champions are pretty ceilinged on SoloQ power and we're seeing a pretty good amount of diversity. Mundo- Mundo has picked up a ton of… Champion buffs in League of Legends patch 25.13 Only a handful of champions are getting buffed in this patch. Each one is being looked at for different reasons—some to make them more viable in pro play, others to bring them back into solo queue rotations. Fiddlesticks – Expected to get more power in jungle clear or teamfights Gangplank – Buffed to help him deal better with current top lane threats like Jax Irelia – Possibly smoother scaling or stronger all-ins Kindred – More help in jungle matchups or early pressure Nidalee – She's currently underperforming, so jungle buffs are coming Rammus – Likely receiving better durability or utility boosts Champion nerfs in League of Legends Patch 25.13 A few champions are performing too well, either in pro games or high-elo solo queue, and will be toned down in this patch. Ryze – He's been very strong, especially after others around him were nerfed Twisted Fate – Has become too powerful with recent item builds like Luden's and Rocketbelt Vi – Strong ganks and reliability have made her too consistent Yorick – Likely nerfed due to solo lane dominance RiotPhroxzon commented on Ryze, saying, "Ryze is looking a bit too unassailable on current tuning, especially after we nerfed a lot of his competition in 25.12. We're not looking for a major nerf here, just a small tap down." What to expect at MSI 2025? Since patch 25.13 will be used during MSI 2025, the goal is to make sure no champion completely dominates. That's why we're seeing light touches rather than a full meta shake-up. Twisted Fate is one example. After his patch 25.12 buffs, he's been dominating the solo queue with burst-heavy items. These nerfs should bring him back in line. Expect more details soon when the full patch notes drop. For now, these are the early updates for LoL patch 25.13.

Akshay Kumar says he's ‘keeping his fingers crossed' amid feud with Paresh Rawal, remains hopeful for Hera Pheri 3
Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal's decision to quit Priyadarshan's Hera Pheri 3 came as a shock to fans as well as his co-stars Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty. Fans have since been urging the actor to reconsider his decision. Now, in an interview with Pinkvilla, Akshay Kumar has expressed his optimism, stating that 'everything will go well.' (Also Read: Akshay Kumar-Paresh Rawal feud explained: From legal suit to Priyadarshan's stand; and will Hera Pheri 3 ever get made) When asked about any recent developments regarding the film, Akshay said, 'Whatever is happening is happening in front of you. Keeping my fingers crossed. I hope everything goes well.' He further reassured fans by adding, 'Everything will go well only. I know, for sure.' For the unversed, Paresh had earlier announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he had decided to step away from Hera Pheri 3, but denied any creative differences with director Priyadarshan. Later, in an interview with Mid-day, Paresh explained the reason behind his sudden exit: 'I love Priyadarshan and have great respect and faith in him as a director. We have done wonderful movies together in the past and will continue to do so. There were no creative differences, nor is there a possibility of having any with him. No amount of money compares to the love and respect of my audience. Right now, I just felt it is a role that I don't want to do, that's all.' Following this, Akshay reportedly issued a legal notice to the actor, claiming ₹25 crore in damages. 'I think there will be severe legal consequences. It's, of course, hurt the franchise. We have written to him letting him know that there are a lot of legal consequences involved. There have been expenses incurred towards the cast, the crew, senior actors, logistics, equipment, and the shooting of the trailer,' said Pooja Tidke, Joint Managing Partner of Parinam Law Associates, which represents Kumar's production banner, in a statement to PTI. On Sunday, May 25, Paresh tweeted an update on the situation: 'My lawyer, Ameet Naik, has sent an appropriate response regarding my rightful termination and exit. Once they read my response, all issues will be laid to rest.' Fans, who were eagerly waiting for Hera Pheri 3 and to see the iconic trio of Paresh, Akshay and Suniel back on the big screen, were deeply disappointed by Paresh's decision. Some even felt the film should be shelved, as it wouldn't be the same without his iconic character, Baburao Ganpatrao Apte. While fans continue to flood social media urging Paresh to reconsider, it remains to be seen whether the actor will change his mind.
