Riot Games to Overhaul Controversial Feats of Strength in League of Legends

The First Blood objective in the new Feats of Strength system will be replaced in an upcoming patch following player feedback.

Feats of Strength, introduced in the 2025 League of Legends season, rewards teams for completing two of three objectives: First Blood, first turret destroyed, and three Epic jungle monsters slain.
The system grants the winning team access to powerful Tier 3 boots, offering significant advantages in stats and gameplay.
Players criticized the First Blood objective as unbalanced, citing its reliance on chance and early-game invasions rather than skill or teamwork.
Riot Games has acknowledged the issue and plans to replace First Blood as a Feat of Strength in patches 15.2 or 15.3, though the exact replacement has not yet been announced.
A recent hotfix has already nerfed the stats of Tier 3 boots and adjusted certain champions in response to the snowballing effect of Feats of Strength on early-game outcomes.
