LoL Season 1 2025: New Runes

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

I will take a look at the three new Domination Tree runes and the new Sorcery Tree rune that will be added to LoL in Season 1 2025. Keep in mind that some adjustments might be made based on player feedback and continuous testing on the PBE.

Sorcery Tree Rune: Axiom Arcanist

• Replaces Nullifying Orb rune
• Ultimate has 12% increased damage, healing, and shielding
• AoE damage is instead increased by 8%
• Takedowns reduce the current ultimate cooldown by 7%
• Elise, Jayce, Nidalee, and Zoe will substitute this for Nimbus Cloak

Domination Tree Runes: Sixth Sense

• Automatically sense a nearby untracked and unseen ward, tracking it for the team.
• Level 11: Also reveal the ward for 10s.
• This effect has a [300 Melee || 360 Ranged] second cooldown.
• Replaces the Zombie Ward rune

This is a great tool for roaming champions, including both Junglers and Supports, making it more worthwhile to look for cross-map plays and contest neutral objectives by denying enemy vision.

Domination Tree Runes: Grisly Mementos

• Collect 1 memento on champions takedowns, up to 25 total.
• Gain 4 Trinket Ability Haste for each collected. In game modes where vision Trinkets do not exist, instead gain 2 Summoner Spell Haster per.
• Replaces the Ghost Poro rune

This is a very powerful rune once again for Junglers and Supports, with champions like Fiddlesticks fully utilizing this to bait enemies or consistently gain vision over important map objectives.

Domination Tree Runes: Deep Ward

• Your wards in the enemy jungle are Deep. Deep wards gain +1 extra health and +[30-45]s increased duration (+[30-120]s for Trinket stealth wards).
• Level 9: Wards in the river are also Deep.
• Replaces the Eyeball Collection rune

This rune will add more importance to vision, especially for champions who like to roam or surprise enemies deep into enemy territory. This will also force players to be more careful when clearing wards given the added health.

And that covers all of the new runes coming to League of Legends Season 1 in 2025. I might expect some tuning, but overall, vision has been drastically increased, making it far more important than before, and hopefully forcing more players to buy Control Wards.
