LoL Patch 25.06 Early Notes: The Return Of Your Shop

While the full patch notes have yet to be released, two significant updates have been confirmed: the much-anticipated return of "Your Shop" and a comprehensive rework of the champion Naafiri.

Your Shop Returns

After its unexpected absence in recent patches, "Your Shop" is making a comeback in Patch 25.06. This personalized in-game store offers players tailored discounts on champions and skins based on their play history and preferences. Its return is a welcome surprise for many, especially after concerns arose about its potential removal following the Hextech Chest controversy. Players can once again look forward to exclusive deals and the opportunity to expand their collections at reduced prices.

Naafiri's Comprehensive Rework

Introduced less than two years ago, Naafiri has struggled to find her footing in the ever-evolving meta of League of Legends. Her straightforward assassin play style, while accessible, left little room for skill expression, leading to low pick rates and limited impact in both solo queue and professional play. Recognizing these challenges, Riot Games has undertaken a substantial rework to enhance her versatility and overall gameplay experience.

These adjustments aim to introduce greater skill expression and flexibility to Naafiri's gameplay, allowing her to thrive in both solo lanes and the jungle. The rework emphasizes her identity as a pack leader, with increased packmate interactions and strategic decision-making opportunities.

As we await the full release of Patch 25.06, these confirmed updates offer a glimpse into Riot Games' ongoing efforts to refine and enhance the League of Legends experience. Players are encouraged to explore these changes on the Public Beta Environment and provide feedback to ensure a smooth transition to the live servers.
