League of Legends Pauses New Skins to Revamp Underwhelming Black Rose Set

Oh man, it’s patch day in League of Legends, and while 25.10 just went live, it’s actually the buzz about 25.11 that’s got me going. So, guess what? There’s a twist. No new skins popping up on the PBE this time—zero, zilch, nada. Why, you ask? Turns out Riot has thrown almost all their brainpower into fixing up the Masque of the Black Rose skins that, let’s be honest, kinda flopped.

Right out of the gate this year, League had it rough. Those pricey skins just weren’t doing it. The Masque of the Black Rose line—yeah, you know, with characters like Elise, Ezreal, and the gang—was a letdown even though it had a sick theme with that secret society vibe. The splash arts? Beautiful, sure. But in-game? Eh, not so much. Players paid big bucks and got, well, basic designs. Bummer, right?

So here we are. Patch 25.11’s hitting the PBE and Riot’s giving those skins a facelift. You can peep them now if you’re curious. Oh, and there’s a cool vid comparison from SkinSpotlights that shows just how drastic these changes are. Honestly, it’s like a makeover show for champs.

But—drumroll—the effort to redo the Black Rose skins means new skins took a back seat. Yeah, Riot hit pause, and their patch notes for 25.10 spell it out. They said something like, “We stopped everything to give Black Rose a glow-up.” So, don’t expect new skins in 25.11. Kinda wild.

Now, Riot mentioned an “upcoming window,” which is vague. Does this mean we could see more skinless patches? I mean, once is unusual enough, so… let’s hope not.

Patch 25.11 is slated for a May 28 rollout if things go as planned. Cross your fingers.
