Wild Rift Patch 0.0-beta

WRAlistarBuffShare

Alistar looked pretty weak in Alpha. We are giving the cow some major cooldown buffs so he can make more plays and have more impact in extended fights.

WREzrealBuffShare

Ezreal was underperforming because his “Blue Build” wasn’t giving him much damage, and he was getting outclassed by basic-attacking marksmen. We updated his recommended items and runes, and buffed (1) Mystic Shot, his main damage output ability.

WRFioraBuffShare

As a duelist, Fiora actually didn’t measure up to some of the other solo lane champions in Wild Rift, so we gave her a big boost to everything. En garde!

WRGarenBuffShare

Despite his massive suit of armor, Garen was pretty squishy. We’re boosting his defensive stats so he can do his thing without getting his health bar blown up so quickly.

WRGragasBuffShare

Gragas was running out of mana pretty quickly, and his full ability combo felt a little on the weak side, so we buffed his mana regen, (1) Barrel Roll and (2) Drunken Rage to get him back in the happy hour spirit.

WRJhinBuffShare

Jhin’s ult felt less like a Curtain Call and more like an intermission. Hopefully, now it actually delivers on his dramatic long-range fantasy.

WRMalphiteBuffShare

We’re gonna be real with y’all: AP Malphite is legit in Wild Rift. We gave his abilities some damage boosts so that if you catch an out-of-position squishy with your ult, they won’t know what hit’em.

WROriannaBuffShare

As many players mentioned, Ori’s ult felt clunky. We’re making it a lot faster so your opponents can’t dodge it as easily.

WRYasuoBuffShare

We’re buffing Yasuo as he was too easy to bully in lane. He should be more durable now.

WRZiggsBuffShare

As a champion with entirely skill shots, players weren’t rewarded enough for landing abilities. Time to take them to boom town.

WRBlitzcrankNerfShare

We received a lot of feedback on Blitzcrank during Alpha, especially regarding his hook being very hard to dodge. His Rocket Grab should be a bit less punishing in lane now.

WRGravesNerfShare

It didn’t take much for jungle Graves to clear camps very quickly, and take no damage while he’s at it. We are tuning him down so he doesn’t always end up on top.

WRJaxNerfShare

Jax was overwhelmingly strong with way too much damage. We are nerfing him so that he’s still a powerhouse late game, but won’t be able to 1v9 every fight.

WRJinxNerfShare

Jinx was getting a little TOO excited, so we’re scaling back her attack speed per level.

WRMaster YiNerfShare

Yi truly mastered the power of Wuju and was an unstoppable tank-melting, split-pushing terror, so we took a chunk out of his attack damage per level, as well as the damage gained via (3) Wuju Style.

WRMiss FortuneNerfShare

Miss Fortune was beating down lane opponents with her Double Up, so we’re making it less spammable and less punishing.

WRNasusNerfShare

On Wild Rift, Nasus was hitting his raid boss status a bit too early, so we are scaling back his Siphoning Strike stacks.

WRShyvanaNerfShare

Shyvana has it all: chase potential, a lot of damage, and she’s a huge fire-breathing dragon. We nerfed her move speed boost bonus and scaled back some of her fiery fury.

WRAnnieChangeShare

As a general design philosophy for Wild Rift, we do not want to mana gate champions so hard. Annie feels like she’s one of the few champions that had big mana issues, so we’re reducing her costs.

WRVayneChangeShare

Vayne’s mobility and kiting, as well as her late-game damage, was making her scarier than intended. We still think Vayne’s identity as a late-game carry is important to her playstyle, but she should probably have to work harder to get there.
