League of Legends may be months away from Worlds 2025, but Riot Games is already building momentum with an extensive slate of cosmetic content on its way. Data miners have uncovered over two dozen new emotes and multiple themed icons hidden in the game client, suggesting that Riot is planning one of the most ambitious cosmetic rollouts in recent memory. These additions appear tailored to enhance the Worlds 2025 experience while also supporting region-specific and Teamfight Tactics (TFT) content.
Complete List of Leaked Emotes Revealed
Data miners have uncovered more than 25 new emotes, highlighting a variety of themes ranging from competitive excitement to lighthearted in-game memes. These emotes reflect Riot’s expanding approach to event engagement and fan expression.
- Teamfight Tactics: Angry Ao Shin, Awakened and Enlightened, Screenshotted, At Last!, Waaaaaah!
- Esports – Worlds 2025: YAYYY!!!, FABULOUS!, O7, LET’S GOOO!!!, POWER UP!, IT’S ME!, I’M. NOT. SAD., Why So Crabby?, Quit Being Boring, Group Hug!, Kog’WOAH, HONK!, The Greatest Emote, Uh Oh., The Answer, That’s The Tea, Scorched, Float On, Chat, Did You See THAT?!
- Regional Exclusive: A Mother’s Love (TeamChina themed)
These emotes cover expressive reactions, regional pride, team celebration, and moments pulled directly from the League community. World-themed emotes like “Kog’WOAH” and “LET’S GOOO!!!” are clearly targeted at Worlds fans, while selections like “HONK!” and “Screenshotted” lean into the memetic culture of in-game interactions. Notably, “A Mother’s Love” may be a regional exclusive, likely tied to an event commemorating Team China or a culturally relevant storyline.
Two Thematic Icons Also Discovered
Alongside the emotes, two highly stylized summoner icons have been identified. Each ties into distinct 2025 releases, with one appearing in a premium bundle and another connected to a standalone event.
- Pardon? Icon: Features Sylas and is set to be part of the Worlds Unlocked 2025 bundle.
- Little Cat, Littler Moon Icon: Stars Yuumi holding a golden moon. This will release as part of a 2025 event.
The Sylas-themed Pardon? Icon adds flair to the broader Worlds package, while the Yuumi icon fits nicely with seasonal or thematic events given its whimsical, celestial design.
Why This Update Signals a Bigger Push for Worlds 2025
While seasonal cosmetics are a regular part of Riot’s competitive calendar, this volume and diversity indicate a significant surge in investment for Worlds 2025. These cosmetics serve dual purposes: allowing fans to celebrate pro play while also giving users new social and expressive tools during gameplay. Whether cheering for their favorite team or dropping a “HONK!” in response to an outplay, players will soon have more ways than ever to showcase their personality on the Rift.
Additional Context Ahead of Worlds 2025
- Worlds Skins: Skins for the 2024 World Champions, T1, are launching this September. Expected champions include Gnar, Vi, Yone, Varus, and Pyke, with Sylas dedicated to Faker.
- New Skin Lines: Upcoming collections such as Arcana 2025 (featuring Aurora, Karthus, and Zilean), Mythmaker, Broken Covenant, and Café Cuties are expanding the visual themes across the game.
- Prestige System Changes: Riot is reworking the Prestige model. Prestige skins will no longer require a base version and will be crafted to offer a more premium, high-quality experience.
