2XKO to buff Blitzcrank, adjust top-performing champions Ekko, Teemo, Yasuo next week

On Nov. 5, 2025, 2XKO released a hotfix paired with a summary of what the developers are going to implement in the game in a bigger patch coming next week on Nov. 11, 2025. This includes adjustments to the game’s highest-performing champions such as Ekko, Teemo and Yasuo.

The hotfix that should already be implemented has something to do with Jinx’s move called “Watch This.” The patch notes mentioned that it has fixed an issue regarding its visual effects persisting even after the move was interrupted.

Moving on to the meat of the patch note, which is the summary of the changes that will be implemented next week, this includes the following:

• Adjustments to some of our high performers (Ekko, Teemo, Yasuo)
• Blitzcrank buffs
• A small number of core system changes
• Various bug and crash fixes
• Adding Resistance Illaoi and Sandstorm Ekko to the rotating store

Adjustments to Blitzcrank are definitely one of its most needed changes right now, as the character doesn’t feel like it could compete with most of the cast, especially when backed into a corner.

Players are hoping that the adjustments made to the top-performing champions will be nerfs to their abilities, but Riot Games mentioned in the same patch notes that they are being cautious about being overreactive to player outcry.

They also clarified that while players can feel overwhelmed by some champions, metas take time to develop and what seemed overwhelming at first might balance out once people find strategies that counter it.
