Season 3 Kickoff: Bel'Veth Rework & The Return of League Classic

Major Season 3 Overhaul

Season 3 is finally here with the long-awaited launch of League Classic, bringing back the 2010s glory days with 60 champions and point-and-click nostalgia. Bel'Veth also receives a massive mechanical rework, shifting her from an early-game terror to a scaling Void empress.

Tweaks & Ranked Updates

  • Apex Restrictions: Duo queue is now enabled for Master tier, but remain banned in GM and Challenger due to competitive integrity.
  • Balance Adjustments: Targeted nerfs hit Locke, Naafiri, Riven, Sylas, and Morde to curb their meta dominance.

  • Bastionbreaker: Cost 3200g ➔ 🟢 3000g
