  • Smurfing Changes, Patch 25.16, and Bo5s are back! | The Dive Driven by Kia
    Aug 14 2025

    Hey everyone, and welcome back to another episode of The Dive Driven by Kia!


    The crew is fired up to talk about a bunch of exciting changes coming to League. Doom Bots are back! WASD controls are coming soon to PBE! Sheriff Caitlyn and the dev team are on the hunt for smurfs! Boosters, hitchhikers and botted accounts beware. Meteos’s top lane alt account is safe (from the devs, at least).


    Next, Kobe and Azael respond to Palafox from the latest PROS episode (https://youtu.be/1MTPIylw-80?feature=shared). We also break down the meta shakeup in Patch 25.16 and dive into all the new jungle additions plus their early day one win rates. Which change are you most excited to try out?


    Finally, we preview the LTA North Week 4 matchups: Shopify Rebellion vs. Cloud9 and Team Liquid vs. FlyQuest. If you’re hyped to watch the first set of Bo5s in Split 3, head over to the Riot Games Arena this weekend. Grab your tickets in the link down below!
