Alright, so here’s the thing. It’s one of those days in the chaotic world of League of Legends — update day. You know, patch 25.10 is here, sure, but it’s not that patch that’s got me all twitchy. It’s the drama round 25.11 that’s got me going. Brace yourselves, ’cause there are no new skins hitting the PBE (Public Beta Environment). Yeah, I know, wild right? The folks at Riot are throwing their energy into revamping the Masque of the Black Rose skins, which, let’s be honest, kinda needed some TLC.
Kicking off the year was kinda rocky for LoL. Those high-end skins were… meh? Especially the Masque of the Black Rose line. It’s like, cool name, cool arts, high hopes — but then you see them, and they’re just… not quite. Imagine selling a dream with splash arts and delivering “Eh, good enough.” But Riot’s like, “Nah, we gotta fix this.” So now, they’re giving that set a good ol’ makeover. Elise, Ezreal, Renata, Samira, Vladimir, and yeah, Prestige Katarina — they’re all getting the touch-up they deserved.
When it comes to showing off these skins in the game, though, it was a whole different ballgame. People weren’t thrilled. Felt a bit like serving up a Michelin-star menu that turned out to be fast food without the fries.
So, when 25.11 rolls around, this rework should be live too. Hop on the PBE if you wanna sneak a peek at how these skins got jazzed up. There’s even this video from SkinSpotlights showing some snazzy before-and-afters. Major glow-ups, honestly.
But, no new skins means Riot had to shuffle things around. They hit pause on the fresh drops to give those Black Rose skins their moment to shine — new models, textures, the whole shebang. It’s bananas to think the 25.11 update features zero newbies. Not the usual playbook, that’s for sure.
Now, I’m here scratching my head over the “upcoming window” phrase in Riot’s patch note. Like, does this mean more patches without new skins, or just this one? I can’t picture Riot skipping skins twice in a row. We’ll see.
And mark your calendars — juicy Patch 25.11 is reportedly landing on May 28th. If you’re keen to dive deeper, maybe check out what’s popping in the LoL Mythic Shop or take a peek at our LoL champion tier list. Who’s ruling the rift today, right?
