League of Legends players have something exciting to look forward to in 2025, as major changes to the Battle Pass system are on the horizon. Leaks suggest that Riot Games will introduce a revamped model in patch 15.1, offering more skins for a fraction of the current cost, making it a win-win for dedicated players.
The Current Problem: Too Expensive for Too Little
With the addition of features like The Sanctum and the growing influence of gacha mechanics, many players have expressed frustration over the high costs associated with obtaining premium skins.
For some, acquiring a new skin for their favorite champion could cost upwards of $200—a steep price that has left long-time fans feeling disheartened.
However, season 2025 marks a shift in this narrative. Riot’s upcoming changes promise a more rewarding experience by transforming the Event Pass into a traditional Battle Pass that offers guaranteed rewards, rather than relying on loot boxes or excessive RNG mechanics.
What’s Changing in 2025 Battle Pass System?
The revamped Battle Pass will allow players to earn themed skins directly by grinding through the pass, instead of purchasing them separately from the in-game shop. This means players can enjoy the thrill of unlocking rewards while progressing through a structured system.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Free Skin Track: Even players on the free track will have access to one skin by completing the Battle Pass.
- Premium Rewards: The premium track will include five exclusive skins, available for 1650 RP, the same price as the current Event Pass.
- Cost Efficiency: Previously, each skin cost 1350 RP when bought separately. Now, unlocking all five premium skins will cost less, provided you complete the pass.
While the exact details of the reward track remain under wraps, leaks suggest it will include some familiar loot like Ancient Sparks. These can be used to roll for additional skins in The Sanctum, adding even more value to the pass. However, it’s unclear if grab bags or loot orbs from the old Event Pass system will make the cut.
Although these details are based on leaks and are subject to change, the overhaul already seems like a massive upgrade for players. Riot’s new approach focuses on making premium skins and rewards more accessible to those willing to grind.
