As exciting as it is to experiment with the new itemization and build options, the new items do not exactly work for all the champions. Although for some champions, it has completely changed the meta in Wild Rift. The new items mostly included items with high critical damage, attack speed, and ability haste. The update also includes two new items exclusive to Wild Rift. This certainly has League of Legends PC players feeling a little jealous. The introduction of new items has expanded the build options for a lot of champions. There will be overpowered builds here are some champions with the introduction of Wild Rift Patch 2.4 Update, with champions who can take full advantage of the latest patch update.
Champions Ranking
The ranking is based on how much each champion in the list takes advantage of the new itemization options. We will start with the champions who are most benefiting from the overpowered builds ranging to the champions who can least benefit from it. They are also ranked in terms of how well the items synergize with champions’ abilities, build paths and stats and how much their overall stats are affected by the new items.
The list is separated into 6 categories.
- Excellent (S): Champions who have received major buffs from the new itemization options.
- Very good (A): Champions whose build options have gotten significantly better than the previous build options due to their abilities now being utilized more than before.
- Good (B): Champions who benefit from the new items but were in a good position without the new items as well.
- Average (C): Champions who are in the same position as they were prior to the new patch with only small improvements with new build options.
- Satisfactory (D): Champions who can utilize the new items as additional build options but with the same overall affects as the previous builds.
- Weak (E): Champions who can experiment with the new build options but would not be able to utilize them very well.

Ranking Discussion based on the Wild Rift Patch 2.4 builds
Champions like Master Yi, Tryndamere, Kai’sa and Xayah were severely underperforming before the patch. With new overpowered builds that have opened up for them with the Wild Rift patch 2.4 update, it has significantly increased their potential. Let us get into how these items benefit our top-ranked champions.
Powerful champions
Master Yi
Coming from Quickblades and Serylda’s Grudge, Master Yi gets a lot of Ability Haste allowing him to spam his abilities more often along with giving him that Critical Chance. In addition, the passive form Solari Chargeblade really buffs his attack giving him insane outplay potential.
Yasuo
Solari Chargeblade is a new core item for Yasuo because it coincides so well with his passive. Solari Chargeblade grants the user an additional 25% Critical Chance after 3 stacks of Radiance making his build very strong after this 2.4 patch. This is in addition to the stats already present on this item. Paired with Yasuo’s passive which doubles the Crit Chance, this item gives him 100% Crit Rate in the very early stages of the game, allowing him to deal massive damage and dominate his lane.
Tryndamere
Solari Chargeblade synergizes perfectly with Tryndamere’s passive, along with giving him Ability Haste and Attack Speed. The reason is that Tryndamere’s passive allows him to have increased Crit Chance with every level. Around level 6, he will have roughly 55% Crit Chance from his passive. This is paired with the passive form Solari Chargeblade will reach nearly 80% after every 3rd stack of Radiance.
Xayah
Navori Quickblades in particular is excellent with Xayah mainly because of its passive which reduces her non-ultimate ability cooldown by 15%. Xayah was severely underperforming in the previous patch primarily because her ability cooldowns were so much. There was not enough Ability Haste for Xayah. However, with this item, she will be able to utilize her abilities much better than before allowing her to dominate her lane.
Underperformers
Rengar
Rengar’s build is at a serious disadvantage in this patch 2.4 because of the Crystalline Reflector. The hunter was feared for his ability to hunt and kill assassins (ADCs and Mages) due to his armor shredding potential. But due to the introduction of Crystalline Reflector, the squishier champions now have a lot more durability than before. Thus, Rengar has gone down significantly due to his lack of lethality options. However, there might be a chance of a new build path with Crit Chance will open up for him.
Zed
The reason Zed being on that list is because that he has suffered the most in this patch. Not only do the champions now have counters for his Ult, but he also has less survivability. This is due to so many of his matchups being champions with a ton of Critical Damage.
Final thoughts
The new patch has opened up a lot of options for champions who primarily did not have a Critical Chance build. This has allowed us to see some major shifts in the meta. The might be a chance for champions like Camille and Renekton to open up new build paths with Crit Chance items. But for now, the champions benefiting the most are Critical Chance assassins and ADCs. It yet remains to be seen if there are any options for a Crit Rengar, Kha’zix, and Zed since these are the champions who are losing the most in this patch. It will certainly be exciting to see new builds popping up during matches and new ways to counter them.
