Champions

K'Sante Wild Rift Patch NotesWRK'SanteNew

General

Corki has been underperforming, so we’re buffing his overall damage.

Stats

  • Base attack damage increased from 50 to 54.

Phosphorus Bomb

  • AD ratio increased from 110% AD to 125%.
Shyvana Wild Rift Patch NotesWRShyvanaBuff

Shyvana’s late game mobility from her second ability after her ultimate makes her hard to escape. We’re lowering that mobility but also boosting her durability, so that her foes have more of a chance to disengage while she remains a threat up close.

Burnout

  • Wings of the Cloud bonus movement speed reduced from 30% to 25%.

Dragon's Descent

  • Bonus health increased from 350/450/550 to 350/475/600.
Zoe Wild Rift Patch NotesWRZoeBuff

After our recent hotfix to Zoe’s reliable damage, we’re boosting her second abilities base damage, improving her third abilities hit feedback, and lowering the cooldown of her ultimate to enhance consistency and outplay potential.

Spell Thief

  • Base damage increased from 20/30/40/50 to 25/35/45/55.

Sleepy Trouble Bubble

  • Missile speed increased.

Portal Jump

  • Cooldown reduced from 12/9/6 seconds to 11/8/5.
Fiora Wild Rift Patch NotesWRFioraNerf

Fiora’s high true damage makes her difficult for most champions to deal with. With the systemic adjustments to boots, her damage output is expected to increase further, so we’re making adjustments to her.

Duelist's Dance

  • Health ratio reduced from 4% target's maximum health to 3.5%.
  • AD health ratio reduced from 6% target's maximum health per 100 AD to 5%.
Irelia Wild Rift Patch NotesWRIreliaNerf

Irelia’s early to mid sustain and recent boot changes make her too resilient to poke, so we’re reducing her ability to heal, which will improve trading against her.

Bladesurge

  • Heal AD ratio reduced from 16/20/24/28% AD to 11/14/17/20%.
Mel Wild Rift Patch NotesWRMelNerf

Mel dominates in the later stages of the game, especially with how easily she can execute enemies from long range. So, we’re reducing her late game damage and the kiting power of her third ability, giving opponents more opportunity to close the gap.

Searing Brilliance

  • AP ratio per stack reduced from 0.6% AP to 0.5%.

Solar Snare

  • Root duration reduced from 1.2/1.35/1.5/1.65 seconds 1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5.

Golden Eclipse

  • Active per-stack AP ratio reduced from 3% AP to 2.5%.
  • : In the tooltip, added rank-up chart for Searing Brilliance damage.
Rakan Wild Rift Patch NotesWRRakanNerf

Rakan’s burst and high base stats make him feel like an assassin, so we’re reducing his burst damage to keep him offensive without overwhelming enemies.

Grand Entrance

  • Base damage reduced from 80/145/210/275 to 70/135/200/265.
  • AP ratio reduced from 55% AP to 45%.
Renekton Wild Rift Patch NotesWRRenektonNerf

Renekton has been performing strongly across all skill levels, largely due to his powerful trading and sustain. We’re looking to reduce some of his sustain to lessen frustration for his foes and make their trades against him more effective.

Cull the Meek

  • Base heal increased from 5/7/9/11 to 4/6/8/10.
  • Maximum base heal reduced from 75/100/125/150 to 50/85/120/155.
  • Empowered maximum base heal changed from 300/400/500/600 to 200/350/500/650.
Yasuo Wild Rift Patch NotesWRYasuoNerf

We’ve reduced Yasuo’s first abilities’ base damage to ease some of his early to mid game poke, especially for those of you who use minion waves, which will improve laning against him. His ultimate armor penetration is also slightly lowered, while high penetration allows strong plays, its early game value is too high for tanks to handle.

Steel Tempest

  • Base damage reduced from 25/55/85/115 to 20/50/80/110

Last Breath

  • Armor penetration reduced from 50% to 40%.

Thank you to everyone who shared this with us, and we want to apologize for the oversight. We’re sharing the details from the changes in these notes.

Editor's note:
