LoL Esports’ most popular feature is reportedly here to stay for the rest of 2025

League of Legends esports took a big step forward in at least one way, according to the vast majority of fans and pros. And the particular feature driving one of the most diverse metas in memory is reportedly sticking around.

Fearless Draft, the system that prevents the same champion from being played twice in one series of play, will be implemented for the remainder of the 2025 LoL esports season, according to a report from Sheep Esports. Originally, Fearless Draft was only supposed to remain the norm for the first split of the pro calendar and during the ongoing First Stand tournament in Seoul, South Korea. Now, it appears the overwhelmingly popular draft system might be in play for all major regions following the tournament, as well as MSI and Worlds 2025, according to Sheep Esports.

Fearless Draft has been an unabashed success in 2025, with fans overwhelmingly loving the feature. It’s prevented teams from falling back on meta picks over and over again, which had become a frequent criticism of the pro scene over the last couple of years.

Riot has yet to make an official announcement on Fearless Draft for the rest of the season, and such big news seems like it would likely come via an announcement close to the end of First Stand. But the odds of Fearless Draft staying on in League esports seem very good right about now.
