LoL Patch 25.S1.3 on the PBE server

Here’s a rewritten version of your passage with the same meaning but a different structure and wording:

LoL Patch 25.S1.3 marks the third update of the 2025 League of Legends season, bringing various adjustments to the game.

With nearly a month since the new season’s launch, overall reception has been largely positive. While there were initial concerns regarding Feats of Strength, Riot has since reworked the mechanic, and gameplay has continued to lean toward frequent skirmishes as teams contest objectives more aggressively. Although the snowballing effect can sometimes feel overwhelming, there hasn’t been anything overly problematic or game-breaking.

Mel, who debuted in an overpowered state, has already received balance adjustments through a micro patch. Her win rate has now stabilized around 50%, though it may take more time to fully determine her true strength.

Champion diversity appears to be in a good place, with various picks being viable across different ranks. The current meta encourages team compositions that focus on synergy rather than relying on individual champions, which bodes well for competitive play.

In the latest patch preview, Riot Phroxzon confirmed that Mel won’t receive further adjustments in this update, as she is currently in a balanced state. However, Riot is planning to nerf damage-oriented support items and increase the attack speed cap from 2.5 to 3.0.

Additionally, bounty mechanics are being tweaked to give losing teams a better chance at making a comeback, particularly when a single player on the team is heavily fed. Changes are also on the way for Cloud and Chemtech Dragon Souls. The specific details on champion adjustments will be available soon, and Swiftplay updates will also be included.

The official patch schedule for 2025 confirms that Patch 25.S1.3 is set to go live on February 5, 2025.

A few notable changes could shake up the meta, particularly in high-elo and professional play. Champions like Skarner, Viego, and Wukong, who have been dominant in the past month, are receiving nerfs. Tank Jayce is also losing some of his power, which may lead to new viable picks emerging in the coming weeks.

The jungle meta is expected to shift, making way for more skirmish-heavy champions such as Xin Zhao, Kindred, and Lee Sin. Meanwhile, mid-lane burst mages could regain popularity thanks to a significant buff to Electrocute—20 bonus damage on every rotation—potentially increasing the presence of assassins in the role.

Beyond these, most of the other adjustments are relatively minor and unlikely to cause major shifts in gameplay.
