CHAMPIONS

AHRI

Ahri’s passive abilities have been changed, (1) Orb of Deception and (2) Fox-Fire to be more similar with their League PC versions.

(P) Essence Theft

(Old) Ahri’s gains Magic Vamp against enemies that have been struck by immobilizing effects.
(New) After Ahri casts 3 abilities that hit an enemy, her next spell that hits an enemy heals her.

(1) Orb of Deception

(Removed) Grants a burst of movement speed while the orb is out

(2) Fox-Fire

(New) Grants a burst of movement speed when cast

AURELION SOL

Aurelion Sol has the highest win rate amongst our top-ranked players. He has too much mobility and crowd control right now, so we’re nerfing his cooldowns and stun duration.

(1) Starsurge

Stun duration: Min 0.55/0.6/0.65/0.7s // Max 2.2/2.4/2.6/2.8s → Min 0.4/0.45/0.5/0.55s // Max 1.6/1.8/2/2.2s

(2) Celestial Expansion

Cooldown: 5/4/3/2s → 8/6/4/2s

(3) Comet of Legend

Cooldown: 55/50/45/40s → 70/60/50/40s

GRAGAS

Gragas got pretty hefty buffs in the Regional Alpha, but he’s still underperforming.

Base Stats

Health: 650 → 690
Health per level: 115 → 125

(Ult) Explosive Cask

AP Ratio: 70% → 80%

SINGED

Singed can basically spread poison endlessly without having to worry about mana, and it does a lot of damage. Singed mana got nerfed so players could actually have to toggle off his poison when not in combat. His (1) Poison Trail damage is getting a significant nerf so he does not always top the damage charts while also being super tanky.

Base Stats

Mana: 390 → 345

(1) Poison Trail

Damage: 30/40/50/60 → 20/30/40/50
AP Ratio: 0.4 → 0.3
Mana: 13 → 15
Damage-over-time Duration: 2s → 1.8s

SONA

Sona barely had any mana issues, even at lower levels. Update in her mana so players have to weigh what spells to use instead of face rolling.

Base Stats

Mana: 435 → 345
Mana regen per level: 24 → 15

GAME SYSTEMS

ATTACK SPEED

Attack speed slows pale in comparison to attack speed increases. There is some change in the attack speed reduction formula so that champions like Malphite, and items like Randuin’s Omen, have a more significant impact.

Old formula: Base Attack Speed × (1 + (Bonus Attack Speed – Attack Speed Slows))
New formula: Base Attack Speed × (1 + Bonus Attack Speed) * (1 – Attack Speed Slows)

MINIONS

You can now see super minions through Fog of War, so you can better plan for late-game sieges.

PINGS

Improvement for the in-game ping visuals to make them more noticeable. You can now also drag “on my way” pings to specific targets.

TURRETS

One feature that isn’t super visible in Wild Rift is the “Domino” effect, which is a structure defensive bonus that kicks in when two turrets in the same lane fall within 45 seconds of each other. The next structure in the same lane takes 66% reduced damage for 30 seconds, indicated by a golden glow. This effect is why the Nexus sometimes feels very tanky. In this phase of Closed Beta, there is a reduction in the effectiveness of the domino bonus.
