Wild Rift Patch 7.1f

WRAkshanBuffShare

Akshan has been out of the spotlight for quite some time. Currently, during the laning phase, he relies too heavily on his third ability to find trading opportunities, resulting in a very high execution requirement. We’re increasing the damage of his first ability to give players more flexibility and strategic options when trading in lane.

WRK'SanteBuffShare

K’Sante has been too durable even after activating his ultimate, forcing his opponents to commit excessive resources to take him down. We want his ultimate form to emphasize high damage at the cost of survivability, so we’re increasing the drawbacks after activation. These changes will make K’Sante more deliberate in how he uses his abilities while giving his foes clearer windows to punish and eliminate him.

WRKayleBuffShare

As a scaling champion, Kayle’s early laning phase has been leaving her under too much pressure. We’re increasing her base Attack Damage and mana regeneration to give her a steadier start in lane.

WRShenBuffShare

Shen’s presence has been underperforming across all tiers, so we’re increasing the base damage of his first ability at all ranks, along with the percentage max Health damage after triggering his Spirit Blade empowerment. This will give him stronger trading power and make him more threatening in Baron lane matchups.

WRAmbessaNerfShare

Ambessa has been too dominant in the early game thanks to the high base shield value on her second ability, but her durability falls off later into the match. We’re adjusting the scaling structure of her shield by lowering its base value and increasing its per-level growth, giving her foes more room to trade early while improving Ambessa’s survivability in the late game.

WRKog'MawNerfShare

Kog’Maw’s second ability currently deals too much percentage max Health damage, giving frontliners very limited room to respond against him. We’re slightly reducing its percentage max Health damage to give tank champions a more manageable experience when facing Kog’Maw.

WRNorraNerfShare

Norra’s first ability currently deals too much damage through its high base values, allowing her to remain threatening even without a strong gold or level lead. At the same time, her fourth ability provides powerful zone control that makes her especially effective during roams and neutral objective fights. We’re reducing the damage of both abilities to lower her overall threat level and make it harder for her to pressure

WRTaliyahNerfShare

Taliyah has been too effective at controlling the pace of fights with her long-range engage tools and consistent damage. The wide coverage of her second ability also gives her too much control in teamfights. So, we’re reducing the cast radius of her second ability and lowering the damage triggered by individual rocks from her third ability to curb her oppressive long-range crowd control and overall damage output.

WRViegoNerfShare

Viego’s jungle clear speed has been too efficient, allowing him to snowball games more consistently than other junglers. We’re reducing the current Health damage on his first ability to slow down his early tempo. In addition, the execution potential of his fourth ability in teamfights has been outperforming, so we’re tightening its damage area to require more precise positioning and timing when engaging.

WRGragasChangeShare

Gragas has been a dominant pick in higher levels of play for a while, largely due to the reliable damage from his second ability. So, we’re adjusting its damage structure by reducing some of its base damage and AP scaling, while increasing the damage dealt based on target maximum Health. This allows Gragas to maintain his solid jungle clear efficiency while also making his burst against squishier champions less oppressive.
