So! You're curious as to how Akshan saved the planet...<\/p>\n
The long-awaited Patch 2.4 has arrived, and it's a huge one. The Sentinels of Light event is coming to a close, and before our heroes face off against the final boss for the last time, we've got a HUGE in-game update coming your way. Ranked Season 3 includes upgrades to the Ranked experience (including the removal of promotion series and champion bans), a brand new Wild Pass with the adventurous Hexplorer Teemo, automated highlights, gold, and system adjustments are all included in Patch 2.4. and, of course, Akshan, the Rogue Sentinel.<\/p>\n

JULY 29 HOTFIX<\/h2>\n<\/span>AKSHAN<\/h3>\n(Ult) Comeuppance<\/em><\/p>\n\n- Fixed a bug where Akshan could cast Comeuppance twice before it went on cooldown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>NEW<\/h2>\n<\/span>NEW CHAMPION<\/h3>\nAKSHAN, THE ROGUE SENTINEL<\/h4>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nRaising an eyebrow in the face of danger, Akshan fights evil with dashing charisma, righteous vengeance, and a conspicuous lack of shirts. He is highly skilled in the art of stealth combat, able to evade the eyes of his enemies and reappear when they least expect him. With a keen sense of justice and a legendary death-reversing weapon, he rights the wrongs of Runeterra\u2019s many scoundrels while living by his own moral code: \u201cDon\u2019t be an ass.\u201d<\/p>\n
Akshan will be released on July 28 at 00:01 UTC.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/span>NEW FEATURES<\/h3>\nRANKED SEASON 3<\/h4>\n
Ranked Season 3 is here and brings a whole host of updates! If you reach Gold (and win 10 games) this season, Glorious Lulu will be added to your collection! Friendly reminder that there will be a few\u00a0display issues during the season\u2019s start<\/a>. If you just want to play when things have settled down, we recommend waiting one day after the season has begun to play Ranked.<\/p>\nRanked Season 3 began on July 26 at 15:00 PDT.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"07272021_WRPatchNotes24_GloriousLulu.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/images.contentstack.io\/v3\/assets\/blt370612131b6e0756\/blt441f1c88f3a2db34\/60f8b267faf95f59f8ec3d3a\/07272021_WRPatchNotes24_GloriousLulu.jpg\")
<\/a><\/p>\nBANS<\/h4>\n
Bans are coming to Ranked! The last three players on both teams simultaneously ban one champion each. We hope starting with three bans will offer more meaningful, competitive, and healthy drafting experiences for players without negatively impacting champion diversity in the game. Our long-term goal is to increase the ban slots to five per team. We will monitor the performance of three bans closely as we plan for five bans in a future patch.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nPROMOTION MATCHES REMOVED<\/h4>\n
As mentioned in our\u00a02.4 Ranked Updates<\/a>, we will be removing Promotion Matches from Ranked play. We believe the interruption to Wild Rift\u2019s ranking experience caused by Promotion Matches currently outweighs the benefits they were meant to provide. Instead of transitioning to a Promotion Match after winning the last match of their current rank, players will immediately move up into the next rank. We will continue to monitor Ranked after their removal to confirm.<\/p>\nPromotion Matches will be removed on July 27 00:01 UTC.<\/em><\/p>\nWILD PASS S2<\/h4>\n
The Wild Pass returns for its second outing! We\u2019ve made a few upgrades from the previous version:<\/p>\n
\n- Overall, we\u2019re increasing the amount of Blue Motes, Poro Coins and Poro Energy you get from purchasing the pass. For example, this time around, you can earn enough Blue Motes for a full champion.<\/li>\n
- We\u2019re increasing the amount of free rewards you\u2019ll get while leveling up.<\/li>\n
- We\u2019re enabling you to gift the pass to other players on your friends list.<\/li>\n
- And despite these buffs, the price isn\u2019t changing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
From now on, the Wild Pass will be a permanent feature in the game, with no more downtime between each new pass. So get out there and Hexplore the Rift with Teemo!<\/p>\n
Wild Pass S2 will be available on July 30 at 00:01 UTC.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"07272021_WRPatchNotes24_HexplorerTeemo.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/images.contentstack.io\/v3\/assets\/blt370612131b6e0756\/blt9981071a77d7a86b\/60f8b268e2de935fc7e367f9\/07272021_WRPatchNotes24_HexplorerTeemo.jpg\")

<\/p>\n
<\/span>FIZZ<\/h3>\nFizz made a large splash with our jungle changes, but is still lacking when it comes to getting lane priority, particularly in skilled play. Additionally, his (2) Rending Wave feels underwhelming, so we want to improve it. Furthermore, there are some interactions skilled Fizz players are able to capitalize on in PC, but these weren\u2019t implemented properly in Wild Rift, so we\u2019re rectifying this too. Due to the large amount of changes coming for the Tidal Trickster, we\u2019ll be extra vigilant in following up on how his performance is affected.<\/p>\n

<\/span>GRAVES<\/h3>\nGraves isn\u2019t under-performing in terms of win rate, but a lot of his power lies in his early base stats which we believe makes him less satisfying to play.

We believe the interruption to Wild Rift\u2019s ranking experience caused by Promotion Matches currently outweighs the benefits they were meant to provide. Instead of transitioning to a Promotion Match after winning the last match of their current rank, players will immediately move up into the next rank. We will continue to monitor Ranked after their removal to confirm.<\/p>\n Promotion Matches will be removed on July 27 00:01 UTC.<\/em><\/p>\n The Wild Pass returns for its second outing! We\u2019ve made a few upgrades from the previous version:<\/p>\n From now on, the Wild Pass will be a permanent feature in the game, with no more downtime between each new pass. So get out there and Hexplore the Rift with Teemo!<\/p>\n Wild Pass S2 will be available on July 30 at 00:01 UTC.<\/em><\/p>\n Highlights are coming in Patch 2.4!\u00a0If you turn on Highlights recording in your settings<\/strong>, we\u2019ll record your best moments\u2014from multi-kills to dragon steals. These will record your screen as you play, so it will capture your inputs in the high moments as well. You can review and save them to your phone on the end-of-game stats screen. Turning on Highlights Recording may impact your battery usage and performance.<\/p>\n Highlights will be available on July 27 at 00:01 UTC.<\/em><\/p>\n We\u2019ve added some new ways to spectate matches or replay your own! You can now toggle between Fog of War for the red and\/or blue side to understand both teams' vision on the map. In addition, we\u2019ve created a new HUD that allows for better viewing of teamfights as they are happening. There is now a teamfight HUD, as well as a minimalistic \u201cno HUD\u201d point of view that can be accessed in spectator mode.<\/p>\n The new spectator and replay features will be available on July 27 at 00:01 UTC.<\/em><\/p>\n We\u2019re adding progression systems to the end-of-game screen so players can have a better understanding of their progress after each game, and know when they have rewards to claim! For 2.4, we\u2019ll be featuring progress towards Wild Pass, daily, and challenge missions. We\u2019re planning on adding more systems to this page over time, like event progression.<\/p>\n The updated EoG screen will be available on July 27 at 00:01 UTC.<\/em><\/p>\n We\u2019ve added the ability to share your Wild Rift achievements to your phone\u2019s OS share drawer for easier access to all your favorite apps and social networks. Tapping the icon will open up the OS share drawer from which you can select any app that you want to post to!<\/p>\n The share screen update will be available on July 27.<\/em><\/p>\n You can now access Wild Rift\u2019s patch notes via a button in the app! Head to the top left of the home screen to get access to all the recent patch notes on the Wild Rift website.<\/p>\n Added in-game text localization support for Simplified Chinese (Malaysia).<\/p>\n Releasing\u00a0July 28 @ 00:01 UTC<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Releasing\u00a0July 30 at 00:01 UTC<\/strong>:<\/p>\n You can earn or purchase accessories from a bunch of different sources. Please check the relevant page in game for more information on how to get \u2018em!<\/p>\n Baubles<\/strong>: Condolences, Crown of Mourns, Fistbump, Heads Will Roll, Light in the Darkness, Non-Stick, Raw or Roasted, Spill That Tea, Stay Cool<\/p>\n Icons<\/strong>: Battle of Baron, Detective Pengu, Hexcellent!, Hungry Hungry Poro, I Can Feel the Power!, Pengu Power, Poro Charmer, Redhead Redemption, The Way of the Snax<\/p>\n Icon Borders<\/strong>: Autumnal Nimbus, Knight's Gallantry, Steadfast Dedication, Teamwork Dreamwork<\/p>\n Emotes<\/strong>: Choncc Chortle, Hurt Feelings, I'm Not Crying, Magnifique!, NOT FAIR, Nyeah Nyeah!, Pengu Present!, Retreat!, Success!, Super Shisa, Thumb for the Memories, Welcome Welcome!<\/p>\n Recalls<\/strong>: The Mist<\/p>\n All accessories will be released throughout the patch.<\/em><\/p>\n The Black Mist creeps ever closer, consuming Runeterra even as the Sentinels\u2019 ranks grow. In their search for allies, Senna and Lucian encounter a lost Sentinel of the past. Is this reckless rogue\u2019s light enough to turn the tide? Join the Sentinels in their final battle, and stand as one against Ruination!<\/p>\n We can\u2019t cure his curse, but we can rid him of a pesky bug.<\/p>\n (3) Tantrum<\/em><\/p>\n Ashe has been slightly underperforming, so we are looking to give her some quality-of-life buffs that strengthen her identity as a utility marksman.<\/p>\n (3) Hawkshot<\/em><\/p>\n (Ult) Enchanted Crystal Arrow<\/em><\/p>\n Fizz made a large splash with our jungle changes, but is still lacking when it comes to getting lane priority, particularly in skilled play. Additionally, his (2) Rending Wave feels underwhelming, so we want to improve it. Furthermore, there are some interactions skilled Fizz players are able to capitalize on in PC, but these weren\u2019t implemented properly in Wild Rift, so we\u2019re rectifying this too. Due to the large amount of changes coming for the Tidal Trickster, we\u2019ll be extra vigilant in following up on how his performance is affected.<\/p>\n (2) Rending Wave<\/em><\/p>\n (3) Playful \/ Trickster<\/em><\/p>\n Graves isn\u2019t under-performing in terms of win rate, but a lot of his power lies in his early base stats which we believe makes him less satisfying to play. We\u2019re shifting around some of his power to give him more\u00a0oomph<\/em>\u00a0on the more explosive parts of his kit so that good play around his abilities is better rewarded. We also hope to give him better build options by dramatically increasing the value that AD and armor pen have for his burst spell, (1) End of the Line.<\/p>\n Base Stats<\/em><\/p>\n (1) End of the Line<\/em><\/p>\n (3) Quickdraw<\/em><\/p>\n We are updating the Grievous Wounds (healing reduction) system to have different levels of severity, so some champions that apply it through abilities have been adjusted.<\/p>\n (Ult) Death Lotus<\/em><\/p>\n Lucian is quickly tearing up the Rift. These changes to his core stats will make Lucian a bit less oppressive and level the playing field for his foes.<\/p>\n Base Stats<\/em><\/p>\n We\u2019re exterminating the bugs that have been plaguing knifekitty since release. This will affect his power, particularly skilled Rengar players, so we will be keeping an eye out in upcoming patches to see if we need to adjust him.<\/p>\n (Passive) Unseen Predator<\/em><\/p>\n (2) Battle Roar<\/em><\/p>\n We are updating the Grievous Wounds (healing reduction) system to have different levels of severity, so some champions that apply it through abilities have been adjusted.<\/p>\n (3) Hail of Arrows<\/em><\/p>\n Ziggs is still taking down towers a bit too quickly. While this is part of his identity, it has been extra destructive at higher levels of play, so we\u2019re turning down his damage just a tad.<\/p>\n (2) Satchel Charge<\/em><\/p>\n All Random All Mid (ARAM) is back! We\u2019ve continued to iterate and balance the game mode, as well as add some small features and polish. We\u2019ll have some news soon about the future of ARAM.<\/p>\n ARAM returns as a Featured Game Mode from Aug 11 to Sept 9.<\/em><\/p>\n The long awaited AP\/Armor item debuting in Wild Rift is here! Consider this the AP version of Thornmail. We hope Mages find this snazzy reflector to their liking when playing against fed physical carries.<\/p>\n Essence Reaver is a new core item for mana-hungry crit users that are looking to deal damage beyond just critical hits, but with their abilities too.<\/p>\n\n
