Wild Rift V2.4[]
Client[]
- Event
- Sentinels of Light
- The Black Mist creeps ever closer, consuming Runeterra even as the Sentinels' ranks grow. In their search for allies, Senna and Lucian encounter a lost Sentinel of the past. Is this reckless rogue's light enough to turn the tide? Join the Sentinels in their final battle, and stand as one against Ruination.
- The Sentinels of Light event continues July 28, 2021 (00:01 UTC).
- AFK, ban, and reporting
- Initial AFK punishments for certain modes such as Co-Op vs AI have been made more lenient, since AFK behavior in these modes are less impactful to teammates. Repeat or frequent AFK punishments will still be treated normally.
- Ranked Fortitude loss for AFKing frequently in a ranked game has increased from 10 to 20 points. These points are evenly distributed to the AFK player's allies who were not in the same party as the AFK player.
- Accounts that have been permabanned will now display a permaban mark on their profile and friends list name card.
- The Report screen now has a higher character count limit, allowing players to be more detailed in their reports.
- Champion Select
- 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.
- Bans will be available in Ranked on July 29, 2021 (6:00 AM UTC).
- End of Game
- We're 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'll be featuring progress towards Wild Pass, daily, and challenge missions. We're planning on adding more systems to this page over time, like event progression.
- The updated EoG screen will be available on July 27, 2021 (00:01 UTC).
- Highlights
- Highlights are coming in Patch 2.4. If you turn on Highlights recording in your settings, we'll record your best moments—from 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.
- Highlights will be available on July 27, 2021 (00:01 UTC).
- In-app patch notes
- You can now access Wild Rift's 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.
- Language Support
- Added in-game text localization support for Simplified Chinese (Malaysia).
- Ranked
- Ranked Season 3 begins on July 26, 2021 (3:00 PM PDT).
- 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 display issues during the season's start. If you just want to play when things have settled down, we recommend waiting one day after the season has begun to play Ranked.
- If you reach Gold (and win 10 games) this season,
- We are removing Promotion Matches from Ranked play. We believe the interruption to Wild Rift's 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.
- Promotion Matches will be removed on July 27, 2021 (00:01 UTC).
- Ranked borders will no longer be displayed in non-ranked queues.
- Share Screen
- We've added the ability to share your Wild Rift achievements to your phone's 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.
- The share screen update will be available on July 27, 2021.
- Spectator and Replay
- We've 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've 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 "no HUD" point of view that can be accessed in spectator mode.
- The new spectator and replay features will be available on July 27, 2021 (00:01 UTC).
- Wild Pass
- The Wild Pass returns for its second outing. We've made a few upgrades from the previous version:
- Overall, we're 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.
- We're increasing the amount of free rewards you'll get while leveling up.
- We're enabling you to gift the pass to other players on your friends list.
- And despite these buffs, the price isn't changing.
- 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 Hexplorer Teemo.
- Wild Pass S2 will be available on July 30, 2021 (00:01 UTC).

- Tuning Changes: We've decreased the likelihood that a lifting off of the screen will result in an extra input read and alter the original intent of the player.
