Wild Rift Patch Notes 2.2A – New Champion, Skins, Accessories and much more

CHAMPION CHANGES

ALISTAR

For a tanky supportive champ, Alistar’s dealing too much damage, particularly to turrets. Using (2) Headbutt to attack turrets should be a bit more of a conscious choice.

(2) Headbutt

• Damage: 55/130/205/280 → 50/120/190/260
• Turret damage ratio: 150% → 75%

BLITZCRANK

Blitzcrank has been slightly underperforming for a while now, so some of the last years buffs is reverted. These changes, combined with the recent tank item update, should give him a healthier space in the support roster.

(1) Rocket Grab

• Damage: 60/120/180/240 → 80/140/200/260

(2) Overdrive

• Self-slow duration: 1.5s → 1s

CORKI

Corki’s mail route stops by the Rift a bit too often. They are giving him a bit of a break between deliveries with the goal to give him and his opponents a bit of breathing room.

(P) Hextech Munitions

• The Package arrival rate: 100s → 150s

DIANA

Diana’s weak across the board, so they are shifting some of the rank-up power from (3) Lunar Rush into (2) Pale Cascade alongside some general buffs. These changes will help her survive the laning phase and push her advantage when she gets ahead.

Base Stats

• Base Health: 570 HP → 610 HP

(P) Moonsilver Blade

• [NEW] After casting a spell, Diana gains 30% to 120% Attack Speed (based on level) for the next 3 attacks.

(1) Crescent Strike

• Cooldown: 10/9/8/7s → 9/8/7/6s

(2) Pale Cascade

• Cooldown: 14s → 13/11.5/10/8.5s

(3) Lunar Rush

• [REMOVED] Bonus Attack Speed moved to (P) Moonsilver Blade

(Ult) Moonfall

• Minimum base damage: 150/200/250 + 35% AP → 175/225/275 + 40% AP
• Maximum base damage: 300/400/500 + 70% AP → 350/450/550 + 80% AP

DR. MUNDO

Mundo buy Sunfire Aegis. Mundo burn down entire jungle and enemy team. Mundo need time out.

Base Stats

• Attack Damage: 64 → 58
• Health: 690 HP → 650 HP
• Armor: 45 → 40

(3) Masochism

• Duration: 5s at all ranks → 3/3.5/4/4.5s

GALIO

Much like his iconic ultimate, Galio arrived with a bang and disrupted the meta significantly. They are toning back his damage across the board, and shortening his (3) Justice Punch range based on feedback that it felt a little long.

Base Stats

• Health: 610 HP → 570 HP

(P) Colossal Smash

• Cooldown: 5/4/3s at level 1/5/9 → 5/4.5/4s at level 1/5/9
• Base damage: 15 to 225 (based on level) → 15 to 190 (based on level)

(1) Winds of War

• Percent HP damage per AP ratio: 2% → 1.5%

(2) Shield of Durand

• Cooldown: 15/14/13/12s → 18/17/16/15s
• AP ratio: 60% → 45%

(3) Justice Punch

• Dash range: 6.5 → 5.75

LEONA

Leona’s not quite shining as a crowd controlling support tank yet, so they are lowering the cooldowns of her core lockdown combo.

(1) Shield of Daybreak

• Cooldown: 6s → 5s at all ranks

(3) Zenith Blade

• Cooldown: 13/12/11/10s → 12/10/8/6s

PANTHEON

The champion has been nerf after its launch. These adjustments should help him maintain his ability to carry an early game lead into a W.

Base Stats

• Attack Damage: 58 → 64
• Attack Damage per level: 2.65 per level → 3.6 per level

(1) Comet Spear

• Tap base damage: 55/100/145/190 → 70/110/150/190
• Charge base damage: 55/100/145/190 → 70/110/150/190
• Bonus AD ratio: 100% → 110%
• Critical strike bonus AD ratio: 150% → 165%

SHYVANA

Shyvana’s got it all: tankiness, high damage, she’s a freakin’ dragon. In the absence of Davion, we’re cutting down her damage and health.

Base Stats

• Health: 650 HP → 610 HP

(1) Twin Bite

• Cooldown: 8/7/6/5s → 9/8/7/6s

(3) Flame Breath

• Maximum on-hit HP damage ratio: 3.5% → 3%

TRISTANA

They are cautiously buffing Tristana as she’s still not matching up to the rest of the marksman roster.

Base Stats

• Attack Damage per level: 2.65 per level → 3.6 per level

(3) Explosive Charge

• Cooldown: 16s at all ranks → 16/15/14/13s

VI

Vi has been a popular and reliable pick in high-level games, but on the strong side in regular play. These changes allow her to keep her reliable gank patterns, but at a slightly higher risk.

Base Stats

• Armor: 35 → 30

(Ult) Assault and Battery

• Cooldown: 85/65/45s → 95/75/55s

ITEM CHANGES

INFINITY ORB

Infinity Orb is providing too much value for its gold cost. The devs are bumping its price up a smidgen to delay its purchase in snowbally games.

• Total Cost: 2850g → 3150g

SUNFIRE AEGIS

While not being drastically overpowered (…except on Mundo lol), Sunfire Aegis is performing a bit too well. Taking it down a notch to add some more first-item choice for tanks.

• Base Damage: 16 to 30 → 16 to 25
• Bonus Damage HP Ratio: 1% → 0.8%

GLORIOUS ENCHANT

A glorious bugfix.

• [BUGFIX] Fixed a bug where item cost displayed as 800g
• Cost: 500g (unchanged)

GAME SYSTEM CHANGES

TURRETS

In competitive play, the devs are seeing a lot of early grouping, making the laning phase almost nonexistent in high-level matches. This is part of our effort to incrementally release systemic changes that maintain the laning phase for competitive games.

• During the first 4 minutes (previously 3 minutes), Solo (Baron) Lane and Mid Lane outer turrets gain 90 bonus Armor and Magic Resist.
• During the first 4 minutes (previously 3 minutes), all outer turrets gain additional defensive bonuses when multiple enemies are nearby:
• 2 champions in total: 10 Armor and Magic Resist
• 3 champions in total: 100 → 250 Armor and Magic Resist
• 4 champions in total: 200 → 300 Armor and Magic Resist
• 5 champions in total: 300 → 350 Armor and Magic Resist
