Patch 2.1a Wild Rift: Katarina

LoL: Wild Rift players should check their rear view mirror regularly. With patch 2.1a, a new danger is on the horizon. Katarina is coming to Wild Rift and promises to wreak havoc in midlane! Noxus' sinister blade has undergone some gameplay adjustments compared to the PC version. However, it retains its assassin identity and will be looking for pentakills in teamfights !

Katarina arrives in style, but that's not the only attraction of this Wild Rift micro-patch. The balancing team has implemented several small buffs and nerfs on champions and items. So as always there will be some happy and some disappointed! For those who don't have the faith to read the whole patch notes, we'll give you the lowdown. ⤵️

Katarina, soon available on Wild Rift

Katarina has not yet made an appearance in LoL: Wild Rift, but Riot Games has stated that it will be released "later" in this patch. This means that it should be available in less than 15 days if the game respects its rhythm and schedule. The most impatient can therefore save their blue essences now... But be aware that there will be a more economical solution! Indeed, you will be able to unlock the Noxus Assassin via the Challenge event of Katarina.

On the other hand, you'll probably have to pull out your bank card to benefit from the champion's skins . Katarina Project is not yet scheduled, but the community will be able to console itself with Katarina de Bilgewater and Katarina thanatophore. It may be a detail for you, but taking care of your style remains important.

The balancing of Patch 2.1a

Ashe, Darius and Ezreal are getting a boost and are overshadowing Katarina on Wild Rift. On the other hand, we can already hear the players of Lulu and Olaf grumbling.

Buffs of Champions 🟢

• Ashe Reduced recovery time on Ranger's Concentration.
• Darius More heal on Decimation and increase the duration of Crampon's slowdown.
• Ezreal Increased damage from Mystic Fire.
• Varus : reduced recovery time for his piercing arrow.
• Vayne : Increased damage to his Condemnation and reduced cooldown on his ultimate skill.
• Xayah Xayah: generalized damage buff for the Vastaya, which has not been able to impose itself since its arrival.

Nerves of Champions 🔴

• Lulu : big generalized nerve on the small Yordle. She loses life points, her shield and her polymorph are less useful and even her ultimate loses range!
• Miss Fortune This is a decrease in his defensive statistics and his ability to push.
• Olaf A reduction in his basic stats and the effectiveness of his Tearer.

Balancing objects 🟡

• Fallen King's Blade: A complex balancing act for this item, which is bought by both shooters and some bruisers. More attack speed, but less damage.
• Liandry's Torment: Purchased by most mages, the item loses 20 in power.
• Haunted Disguise : The main component of Liandry's Torment, the item also loses power.

We'll see you in a fortnight for a new update and the next balancing. It will also be the occasion to see the first results of Katarina ! 😎
