🎯 Major Champion Changes in Patch 25.15
Tank Support Nerfs Hit Hard
The “big three” tank supports finally face the nerf hammer. Alistar’s base armor drops from 47 to 40, while Braum receives additional armor nerfs with base armor reduced from 42 to 35. These changes aim to create a more diverse support meta after months of tank dominance.
Pantheon Jungle Takes a Hit
Pantheon’s Q monster damage decreases from 105% to 90%, targeting his overwhelming jungle presence while preserving his top lane viability. This nerf should push Pantheon players back toward his intended solo lane role.
Corki Gets Tactical Adjustments
The Corki changes focus on build diversity. His Q damage shifts to favor bonus AD builds while R damage increases slightly, encouraging players to explore squishier, high-damage builds over tankier alternatives.

| Alistar | Major Nerf | Base armor: 47 → 40 | Reduced early tankiness |
| Pantheon | Jungle Nerf | Q monster damage: 105% → 90% | Pushes toward top lane |
| Corki | Adjustment | Q/R damage rebalanced | Favors AD builds |

| Bel’Veth | Mixed | Q nerf, passive buff | Early game weaker |
| Master Yi | Nerf | Q damage reduced for low AD | Targets on-hit builds |

⚡ Game-Changing System Updates
Baron Nashor Rework
Baron’s health regeneration drops to 0 from 75 per 5 seconds, eliminating the frustrating mechanic where Baron could heal through perfectly timed Smites. To compensate, his base health increases by 100.
New Champion Select Feature
The patch introduces Ability Previews in champion select, allowing players to hover over champion portraits to review abilities without leaving the client—perfect for refreshing knowledge or studying enemy compositions.
🎮 ARAM & ARURF Updates
ARURF Returns: The beloved ultra-rapid-fire mode makes its comeback on the Spirit Blossom map with updated champion balance and the new ARAM card system.
ARAM Improvements: The harsh death screen effect receives visual adjustments, reducing color intensity and distortion for a more pleasant experience.
💡 Why These Changes Matter
This patch addresses several pain points that have plagued the ranked meta. The tank support trinity of Alistar, Braum, and Rell dominated bot lane for months, creating stale gameplay patterns. Meanwhile, Pantheon’s jungle dominance overshadowed his intended role identity.
The Corki adjustments represent Riot’s commitment to build diversity, encouraging players to experiment with different item paths rather than defaulting to safe, tanky builds.
