Wild RiftPatch 3.4

WRAkaliBuffShare

Players who have been picking Akali, even the invested Akali mains, have been struggling to make her succeed even when they perfectly execute their plays. So, we’re giving her some small buffs to help her take down her opposition.

WRJayceBuffShare

Players who haven’t put as much time into Jayce haven’t been able to take advantage of his Hammer form, so we’re making it a little more forgiving to stay in Cannon form. This should ease some of Jayce’s mastery curve and help you to nail those plays with your hammer.

WRKayleBuffShare

While Kayle has excelled at tipping the skayles for her team and winning games, she hasn’t been satisfying to play for most players. We’re adjusting some of the baseline power Kayle has and giving her more sustain in lane. This will allow her to have a more forgiving laning phase, but a less powerful late game, particularly with her Attack Damage builds.

WRLeonaBuffShare

Despite recent buffs, Leona is still falling behind compared to other supports in the Dragon Lane. To give her more opportunities to shine during teamfights, we’re buffing the stun duration on her ultimate, Solar Flare.

WRSamiraBuffShare

Since her release, Samira has been struggling compared to her peers. To help her out, we’re giving her a much needed tune-up so that she can shine in style alongside her peers.

WRSettBuffShare

Sett has fallen behind other fighters, especially in higher levels of play. To sett him up for success, we’re beefing up the bonus Attack Damage ratio associated with his Haymake active.

WRVarusBuffShare

Recent changes have left Varus weak overall, so we’re giving him some extra damage that should be effective for attack-oriented builds.

WRYasuoBuffShare

Yasuo is performing below our expectations after recent nerfs, so we’re increasing his scaling Attack Damage to amp up his power in the later stages of the game.

WRShyvanaNerfShare

After the recent adjustments we made to Shyvana, she’s in a good place overall, but we feel like her ultimate upgrade could be a bit more exciting. To add some fire to it, we’re swapping out the bonus health for Omnivamp.

WRSionNerfShare

Sion has been stronger and more effective in the jungle than we anticipated, and while we aren’t saying Sionara to him in the jungle, we are cutting away some of that power. We’re also smoothing out some of the bizarre interactions with Unstoppable Onslaught to make it behave more as a Sion player would expect.

WRTristanaNerfShare

Previous buffs went a little overboard for Tristana, so we’re bringing the cooldown on Rapid Fire back to where it was. We’re also looking to make adjustments to the default controls for Tristana around her Explosive Charge to both improve the feels around the spell and make Tristana more accessible.

WRYuumiNerfShare

Yuumi has been in an unfur-tunate position since her release. She’s been frustrating for many players to go up against, but not particularly good at winning games. She also required a lot of in-and-out gameplay that Yuumi players weren’t attached to, so we’re trying a different approach with the cat for this version. Yuumi is now no longer tied to her passive to restore mana to fuel her massive mana cost for her heal, but will generally have less power, particularly outside of combat. She will also have more frequent poke earlier in the game, but won’t be able to use her passive shield to mitigate enemy harassment as much. The goal of these changes is to make Yuumi less frustrating to play against, but allow Yuumi enjoyers to feel more comfortable enhancing their ally of choice without feeling immense pressure to constantly bop her foes to get the most out of her passive.

WRJhinChangeShare

We’ve been looking for ways to adjust Jhin so that he can have more ajhincy throughout the game. The increased root duration on Deadly Flourish that we previously adjusted hasn’t helped much in this area, so we’re reverting that change and instead giving it a shorter cast time for higher reliability.

WRCosmic DriveNewShare

Wild Rift’s AP system has long been lacking a strong option for picking up Ability Haste outside of early mana itemization, so we’re adding in our own take on Cosmic Drive. This item not only offers a massive amount of Haste by itself, but the movement speed granted when hitting enemy champions also scales with Haste to enable some speedy builds when you invest into the maximum Haste gotta go fast build.

WRImperial MandateNewShare

Imperial Mandate is coming in to add a new and exciting mechanic that will reward mages and enchanters for interacting with their opponents. We’re looking to enable more aggressive play out of both mages and enchanters in the support position with this item.

WRMeteor EnchantNewShare

While we're removing the damage from Redeeming Enchant, we know that some players enjoyed the gameplay around the long-range large area strike they could call down on their foes. So we're bringing in Meteor, a new enchantment that is focused entirely on the damage aspect rather than the supportive aspect. Also we just think it’s really cool that you can call down a meteor from the sky on an enemy.

WRProtect EnchantNewShare

Protect is a new enchant designed to enhance champion abilities, rather than provide an alternative avenue for defending themselves or their team. With its strong amplification for lower-cooldown spells, it is much more powerful at protecting singular targets with individual heals or shields rather than an entire team.

WRRedemption EnchantNewShare

Redeeming Enchant has been a powerful tool for swinging fights for a while now, but it can be difficult to use or appreciate properly due to its extended windup time when casting. We’re taking away the damaging aspect and creating Meteor and in significantly increasing the speed so its impact is more immediately felt.

WRRepulsor EnchantNewShare

Repulsor isn’t living up to its intended purpose of countering melee divers, and it’s only mediocre at its secondary purpose of splitting up the enemy team. To lend this item a hand, we’re adding a burst of movement speed to Repulsor to make it more useful for kiting and escaping.

WRRiftmakerNewShare

Riftmaker is an item from League of Legends PC’s system that we’re bringing into Wild Rift as a way for AP fighters and AP mages to access vamp and bonuses for sustained fights.

WRSerpent's FangNewShare

Serpent’s Fang is a long-requested feature that’s finally here: a way to counter shields! This armor penetration item gives AD assassins a sharp utility output that can situationally make them a highly valuable counter to shielding compositions. This will also allow for a situational reason why some other classes may want to dip their toes into the AD assassin item system.

WRSunfire CapeNewShare

Sunfire Cape has been a dominant pick among the other tank items, so we're reducing its ability to clear minions and jungle camps.

WRFrozen HeartBuffShare

Even after our recent buffs, Frozen Heart is still underperforming compared to its peers. So we’re giving it a little boost to help it compete.

WRLocket EnchantBuffShare

For a while now, Locket has been significantly more powerful compared to other enchants, even when it's not being used optimally. Its ability to provide hundreds or even thousands of extra health in shield value during a teamfight made it outperform other enchants by a mile, even when they were getting maximum value. We’re looking to make Locket less applicable to every situation, so it's being changed into a magic damage shield to preserve its primary identity as an anti-AoE tool while also limiting its usage as a powerful button to press at any point during a point.

WRIxtali SeedjarNerfShare

We’ve heard feedback from players that they want to have the ability to make more spontaneous plays with Seedjar. So, we’re slashing the time it takes for the seeds to grow significantly.

WRProtector's VowChangeShare

We’re significantly reducing the cooldown on Protector’s Vow to reduce its impact when it gets removed with random poke. We’re also specializing the item more by removing the Ability Power ratio and Movement speed which were low impact. In return, we’re increasing its health ratio to make the item a more attractive pick up for tanks.
