<li><strong>What's with the new patch naming system?</strong> Riot is changing how patches are named. "25.S1.1" breaks down as follows: "25" signifies the year (2025); "S1" indicates Season 1, as there will be three uniquely themed seasons throughout the year; and ".1" denotes the specific patch number within that season. We will likely shorten the patch name to "S1.1".</li> <ul> <li><strong>What are the new tier 3 boots, and how do you get them?</strong> Tier 3 boots are new upgrades for existing boots. To access them, you need at least two legendary items, your team must have "Nox's Blessing" (obtained by completing Feats of Strength: being the first to get two out of First Blood, First Turret, or three Epic Monsters) and pay 750 gold. There are different versions:</li> <li><strong>Armored Advance</strong> (Plated Steelcaps): grants extra armor, movement speed, and a physical damage shield on receiving physical damage from champions.</li> <li><strong>Chain Lanced Crushers</strong> (Mercury's Treads): grants extra magic resist, movement speed, and a magic damage shield on receiving magic damage from champions.</li> <li><strong>Crimson Lucidity</strong> (Ionian Boots of Lucidity): grants additional ability haste, movement speed and provides movement speed upon healing/shielding allies, damaging enemies with abilities, or using summoner spells.</li> <li><strong>Forever Forward</strong> (Synchronized Souls): grants additional movement speed and out of combat movement speed.</li> <li><strong>Gunmetal Greaves</strong> (Berserker's Greaves): grants extra attack speed, movement speed, and movement speed when basic attacking a champion.</li> <li><strong>Spellslinger Shoes</strong> (Sorcerer's Shoes): grants extra magic penetration and movement speed.</li> <li><strong>Swift March</strong> (Boots of Swiftness): provides movement speed and a bonus to total movement speed. Due to these changes, Zephyr has been removed from the game.</li> <li><strong>What's new with items?</strong> There's a new legendary item called <strong>Bloodletter's Curse</strong>, a magic damage item with ability power, health, and ability haste. It has a passive called Vile Decay that applies a stacking magic resist reduction. Also, <strong>Abyssal Mask</strong> now causes enemies to take increased magic damage instead of reducing their magic resistance and can now be built alongside other blight items. <strong>Heartsteel's</strong> passive base damage is reduced, but the bonus health scaling is changed, making it more effective overall at one item completion. <strong>Unending Despair</strong> has a new, less efficient build recipe, reduced armor, and nerfed damage. <strong>Warmog's Armor</strong> has had its build recipe altered and the passive severely nerfed with increased activation requirements.</li> <li><strong>What are the new runes, and how will they impact the game?</strong> Four new runes are being added:</li> <li><strong>Axium Archinist</strong> (replacing Nullifying Orb in the Sorcery tree): increases ultimate damage and reduces ultimate cooldown on takedowns.</li> <li><strong>Deep Ward</strong> (replacing Eyeball Collection in the Domination tree): grants increased vision duration and health to wards placed in the enemy jungle.</li> <li><strong>Grizzly Mementos</strong> (replacing Ghost Poro in the Domination tree): grants trinket haste on champion takedowns.</li> <li><strong>Sixth Sense</strong> (replacing Zombie Ward in the Domination tree): tracks untr
