Wild Rift Patch Notes 1.0

In this patch, we’ll begin Wild Rift’s Regional Open Beta, and we also need your help testing some new champs hitting the Rift for a few days on the free-to-play rotation. For those of you who were previously stuck on the loading screen, we fixed a bug related to specific devices.

Welcome to Patch 1.0!

NEW

REGIONAL OPEN BETA

The Regional Open Beta begins Oct 27 (PT)! All players from Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand will have full access to Wild Rift on Android and iOS. We’d also like to welcome players from Cambodia, Brunei, Laos, Myanmar, and Timor-Leste! For more information, click here.

TEMPORARY DOWNTIME

We will be temporarily suspending iOS testing and disabling new downloads of Wild Rift shortly. For more information, click here.

NEW CHAMP: LEE SIN

Lee Sin, the Blind Monk, is jump kicking his way to Wild Rift! One of League’s most popular champs for nearly 10 years, he’s sure to add a new layer of depth and mastery to the jungle, offering unparalleled mobility, outplay potential, and tons of clips for the highlight reel.

Lee Sin will be available alongside Knockout Lee Sin and Muay Thai Lee Sin, so you can flex on your foes in style.

CHAMP PREVIEWS

We’re rolling out a test phase for six new champs who will be fully released at a later date. We need your feedback and testing on these champs specifically, so they’ll be free to play between Oct 22 and Oct 27 (PT). Feel free to spam as many games as you can so we can crush those last few bugs:

• Akali, the Rogue Assassin
• Darius, the Hand of Noxus
• Draven, the Glorious Executioner
• Evelynn, Agony’s Embrace
• Kai’Sa, Daughter of the Void
• Seraphine, the Starry-Eyed Songstress

IN-GAME REWARDS

In South Korea and Japan, players can log in using their existing Riot Games accounts and earn rewards based on their time and monetary investment in League of Legends on PC (more info coming soon). For the other regions in the Closed Beta who may not have Riot accounts yet, you can create and link a Riot Account, and earn rewards like champs and skins later in the year.

ITEMS

TEAR OF THE GODDESS ITEMS

Items that build from Tear of the Goddess are not seeing a lot of play, so we’re buffing them up to make them a more viable option. Fimbulwinter, which builds out of a fully stacked Winter’s Approach, is generally built on bruisers or tanks that don’t spam spells as frequently, so we’re making it a bit easier for them to stack up for the cold season.

ARCHANGEL’S STAFF

Mana per stack: 12 → 15

MANAMUNE

Bonus AD: 1% → 2%

Mana per stack: 8 → 10

MURAMANA

Bonus AD: 1% → 2%

TEAR OF THE GODDESS

Mana per stack: 6 → 8

WINTER’S APPROACH

Mana per stack: 8 → 15

GAME SYSTEMS

AFK PENALTY

We take AFKing very seriously, as we understand how a teammate leaving can negatively affect your game. That being said, we also know that unexpected things happen—whether it’s your ISP going out or your dog eating your router. In order to account for these unexpected occurrences, we’ve decided to reduce the penalties for AFKing.

First AFK penalty (3-6 min): 30 min → 10 min

First AFK penalty (6+ min): 60 min → 20 min

Further AFK penalties within 7 days: 12 hours → 6 hours

MAJOR BUGFIXES

We’re not gonna list every bugfix here, as there are a lot of ‘em, but we wanted to call out a couple of notables:

• Fixed an exploit with Guardian Angel allowing champs to be invincible
• Fixed a crash on certain devices that caused crashes in the loading screen
