LoL Season 1 2025: New Boot Upgrades

I will take a look at the new boot upgrades that will be coming to League of Legends Season 1 in 2025.

In Season 1 of 2025, League of Legends will introduce a new feature: Boot Upgrades. This enhancement allows players to upgrade their Tier 2 boots, but it comes with certain conditions. To unlock the upgrade, you must complete at least two out of three "Feats of Strength". These feats include:

• Securing First Blood.
• Taking down the First Tower.
• Claiming any combination of three Epic Jungle Monsters, such as Drakes, Rift Heralds, or Void Grubs.

Additionally, champions must reach level 15 before upgrading their boots. For champions like Cassiopeia, who cannot purchase boots, a tailored upgrade system will be available to ensure she doesn't miss out on this new feature.

These changes aim to add strategic depth and reward proactive gameplay.
