Season 15 Leak, Today, Riot Games will reveal a highly anticipated developer update, detailing gameplay changes for the next season and unveiling a secret Visual and Gameplay Update (VGU). Here’s what we know so far:
Leaked Noxian-Themed Season and Map

According to the Season 15 Leak, the upcoming season will have a Noxus theme, confirmed by images leaked from a Chinese news page showcasing a “new Noxian map.” These images, tied to the name “Atakhan,” hint at exciting gameplay features.
Who is Atakhan?

Atakhan, a demon previously seen in a Legends of Runeterra card, appears to be making his way into the game. The leaked images suggest the following:
- Helmet Match: The design matches the card’s depiction of Atakhan.
- Spawn Mechanics: Atakhan will spawn near the lane with the most kills, deaths, or damage.
- Rose Mechanic: Upon spawning, Atakhan creates “Black Roses” on the map. Collecting these roses grants an adaptive bonus (AD or AP), adding strategic depth to gameplay.

Gameplay Mechanics

- Spawn Time: Atakhan appears at the 20-minute mark, slightly delaying the Baron Nashor spawn.
- Defeat Rewards: Defeating Atakhan rewards players with stacks of the roses and a “Resurrection Buff” similar to Guardian Angel or Akshan’s passive.
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s dev update where even more details will be revealed about this exciting new season. Don’t forget to subscribe for updates! Riot seems to be pulling out all the stops for this new season—kudos to them for the effort!
