Season 2 Brings Fresh Content and Gameplay Improvements
In a developer update video posted on April 15, 2025, Riot Pabro and Riot Meddler outlined several exciting features heading to League of Legends in the upcoming season. The announcement covered multiple aspects of the game, from new content to quality-of-life improvements.
Perhaps the most intriguing revelation was the teaser for a new champion – a rat wielding a squirt gun. While details remain limited, this unusual character design has already generated buzz among the community, potentially adding to the game's roster of over 160 champions.
What's Returning in Season 2?
Fans of the Spirit Blossom event will be thrilled to learn of its return in Season 2. The aesthetically pleasing and narrative-rich event was a hit during its previous run, offering unique skins and an immersive storyline that players could experience firsthand.
The developers also announced "Brawl," a new 5v5 game mode that will provide an alternative to the traditional Summoner's Rift experience. This addition aims to offer fresh strategic opportunities while maintaining the core team-based gameplay that has defined League of Legends since its 2009 launch.
Tackling Negative Behavior
Addressing one of the community's persistent concerns, Riot is implementing improved measures to combat "inting" (intentionally feeding) and griefing behavior. These enhancements aim to create a more positive environment for players of all skill levels and reduce match disruptions caused by toxic gameplay.
The developer update video was structured with helpful timestamps, allowing viewers to navigate to specific sections of interest: Intro (0:00), Gameplay (1:31), and a dedicated segment on anti-inting measures.
