  • A new Hex Elder Dragon is coming to the Rift. Slaying him will give you a Hextech-infused Aspect of the Dragon. This will grant your attacks and abilities a lightning arc effect that bounces up to three targets. It also allows you to deal extra true damage and execute Health enemies.
  • The Rift scuttler is going to be given a Hextech upgrade. Depending on whether it is near the dragon or Baron lane, killing it would grant you different unique effects.
  • The Devs would now be adding Visual audio alerts to alert you when a ward sees an enemy. This would allow you to play safe and avoid unnecessary ambushes.
  • Master Rank would now be broken down into three tiers to allow for a much more challenging, yet intriguing gameplay experience.
  • The Devs will be removing the pick and ban phase for players in Gold and below ranks. This allows for a much easier get-into-the-game process.
  • In Wild Rift’s China Version, Bans in the Draft Pick phase will now be increased to 5 for Master and above ranks.
