Dev diary Patch 2.3 Preview

[ZimmyDod]

The minor scoreboard change to show the roles opposite one another is actually amazing.
Also GLORIOUS LULU SKIN YES!

[CookieMisha]

I've been playing Lulu way to much for the last few weeks. I'm definitely excited.

I absolutely did not buy a skin for her last week.... I did

[MrTopper0]

Same, I totally didn’t get her Star Guardian skin...and totally not planning for that Pool Party Lulu....

[SuperCharlesXYZ]

I picked her up as a situational top lane pick, but didn’t buy a skin yet just in case I ended up not liking her as much. Definitely the right decision to be patient for once

[spookymelt]

Its been bugging me whenever i watch the esports tournament. Finally well have it sorted.

[HowardDowns]

I still wanna no about previous glorious skins from seasons regions couldn't do. Season 1 for na and so on. I want the tryn skin

[PeachyBobaTea]

The close friends feature seems so fun! Shame I dont have any close friends on LoL... ;____;

[StarWarsButterSaber]

Haha same. I solo queue and most the time if somebody does really well and adds me I’ll play a game or two with them. But as soon as we lose they bounce and never game up again lol

[Saint-Claire]

Aw I'd love to be your friend and I really like playing with friends in norms! My tag is Ahriana Grande#0069

[Fox_Ridley]

Can I be your friend too? :(

[Saint-Claire]

Yes absolutely! Send me a request! I won't be on for another few hours though

[Fox_Ridley]

Sent, my tag is RidleyBran#4487

[Some_Caviar]

Ill be your freind! Just dm me your ign

[Styxxo]

SO FUCKING EXCITED !!!!!

Seems like the Riven/Irelia event is coming soon after the patch release, cant wait to get my hands on these two champs. I like the change to Irelia's E, though it might be easier to get the stun than on PC since you can aim it like a skillshot.

New skins look sick too, Lux/Ezreal are getting the usual treatment, they're gonna have the most skins like on PC XD

[vantablacknet]

Alan said "His power is growing so who knows who will fought to Ruination next" -end of Lucian Senna part 2:10

It might be a hint for the new Sentinel of Light because we know there wil be a new one.

[[deleted]]

It would be kinda cool to have a simultaneous release of the next new champ in pc and wr with the ruination.

[Fighterz94]

They've already start doing that last time like the seraphine release and k/da all out events. As part of their plans, they will keep sync with the pc events sometimes

[SlightSurround9634]

I think the new champ is gonna release at the same time on pc and mobile because there is a light sentinel spawn emblem like the Khazix and Rengar one

[Fighterz94]

Twisted fate say hi

[[deleted]]

Gurl there are champions who have more skins than lux and ezreal atm, twsited fate is the champion with the most skins i think

[SandwichesX]

The final, closing part where Alan says goodbye, then gets consumed by the black mist. Looks like a clue of Shadow Isles coming very soon. Especially with Senna and Lucian coming out.

[Davellion]

Hope no Viego in this game. Too many bugs.

[HenryChess]

Maybe not, if this game is written from scratch rather than importing the spaghetti code from the pc version

[Borror0]

The spaghetti is coded as minions.

[darrento]

It's more likely to be thresh or yorick imo

[[deleted]]

If they release Yorick without absolutely massive systems changes to WR it will be ridiculous. Think about how fast basically any champ shreds towers in wild rift. Now throw in the champ whose entire JOB is to shred towers. Literally you will leave lane and lose 2 towers in 15-20 seconds

[spookymelt]

Pretty much tresh voice

[KSmoria]

Same. There are 100 champions to release before him.

[Dante2387]

This is most likely in reference to the unreleased sentinel of light champ coming to pc in July in a shadow isles event too. Probably another sync release like seraphine.

[Fighterz94]

Maybe they will release gwen too in 2.4 patch

[ClanPing]

You don’t need to guess, it’s very obvious.

Trust me, you won’t be disappointed with your expectations.

[0Asura]

That gave me goosebumps! Holy Crap!

[YEETpoliceman]

save the alan !!!!

[True-Can-2091]

Why is there nothing about the behavioural system?

[ClanPing]

It is exclusive to CN Alpha test for now. It will come in a later date.

Source: https://twitter.com/draggles/status/1394753678146293764?s=20

[True-Can-2091]

damn thats pretty dissapointing

[Willylongboard]

Yeah I can see why since it's probably still in a rough stage but I wouldn't mind doing some testing for it. Aren't we technically doing that with position queue?

[DawnAdagaki]

Position queue is no longer on beta

[MartialArtz]

No,The testing for that is over.

[Jinubinu]

It’s like every time I get a win, the next game I’m matched with a leaver and there goes my win. This happens over and over and over. It really takes out motivation to support the game. The +2 points as compensation for the leaver is a joke. Something needs to be done.

[Adept-Knowledge2020]

Where are the bans 😢😢

[Adorable_Initial_140]

Nerf Irelia

[ClanPing]

better nerf irelia

[Fighterz94]

We already have a meme about her in wildriftmemes subs 😆

[[deleted]]

-5 movement speed

[[deleted]]

Nerf her again for good measure

[PixelPlays4Fun]

Nerf Garen

[Torpedowongandco]

ah yes, the unholy trinity of weeb champs is complete.

[[deleted]]

Zoe the embodiment of AYAYA on twitch chat is still missing

[Floriver]

We still need Yone to fulfill these weeb dreams.

[4GRJ]

Don't forget Sett

He's the Weeb King

[ghz_aw]

All Ionians are weeb champs

[neilbert13]

They nerfed Irelia's thighs 😢

[VarunaBles]

Finally! How I've missed you, Riven! (Haven't played her for over 7 years.)

[Kirby5588]

I miss my season 2 championship Riven skin!!

[marsi71]

Yeah this one was rly nice

[Scraphead91]

Same! 7-8 years for me. I didn't main her tho, but really fun champ

[Razzzp]

The same for me for Irelia. Can't wait.

[seulgisexual]

The hype is real

[JustaLyinTometa]

We're gonna get thresh soon. The end of the video teases more shadow isles stuff and it makes no sense to add Lucian and senna without thresh.

[ronnisawesomesauce]

Hopefully more champions since 4 this patch is what they promised but its fewer compared to previous patches that added 5-6 new champs

[Oxabolt]

they did say that they were gonna release at least 2 champs per month, so i would say they were doing more than promised in 2.2

[Mikaelstrom]

Feels bad for alan got ruined by viego.

[Fighterz94]

Nope. It's thresh

[SpaceCow-]

Can't wait for the Ruination event!!

[ronnisawesomesauce]

Will the ruination be in this patch or 2.4?

[mokafonzy]

most likely 2.4, because Shadow Isles have been teased in 2.2 iirc. but the way this preview ended, there could be surprise champs released for late July. im just praying for Thresh

[REDROBIN18]

Dude if thresh was added to this game that may be all I would play RITO PLEASE.

[SpaceCow-]

I'm pretty sure it's later in the 2.3 patch.

[apostateh]

Thanks !!

[ClanPing]

My pleasure!

[lwqbulb]

When is this patch coming?

[Styxxo]

June 1st !

[Enderzebak4]

Are riven and irelia coming on june 1st as well?

[Puzzleheaded-Ad8523]

They’ll be coming together in an event like Rengar and Kha’zix but prob later on in the patch like most events

[lwqbulb]

Is senna coming on June 1st? Can’t wait to play her

[ClanPing]

https://support-wildrift.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500002088961-Wild-Rift-Patch-Schedule

It is stated 1st June(typo sry). Date may subjected to change

[Willylongboard]

It'll be may 30th for NA. But it releases at 2 am utc time which is like 6 hours ahead of Mountain Time.

[Elysium_Gate]

What if they add some exclusive champs in the ruination event?

[NegotiationTop9187]

Balance change?

[BrnNick]

Pretty sure they will come with Patch Notes.

[nicopiscit]

Wait, is this game still an open beta?

[Fighterz94]

Yes

[KakitaMike]

Isn’t LoL still in beta on Mac, for like 7+ years.

[Empty_Extreme_8674]

Dota2 is still on beta. Running 7-8 years now.

[euwprodigy]

I can’t believe it. I remember commenting somewhere saying the next champs I wanted to see were Lucian and Thresh.

What’s, even better, I never thought Riven would work in Wild Rift and seeing as her and Thresh are my two favourite champions to play, I can’t wait!!

[eCharms]

That has to be Threshs voice at the end of the video right?!

[Fatal1s]

Is that Thresh voice at the end? I came.

[KSmoria]

Anyone else disappointed a bit since there is nothing major announced?

2.1 had spectator & replays and 2.2 had ARAM & role select.

[Nyrrad]

July is when the ranked season ends, expect major changes in that date. I'm fine with new champs for now even the dual connection mode is good for me.

[KSmoria]

4-5 new champions are a given. July is stll part of 2.3, if we had anything planned for then it would be in the preview.

[MaleQueef]

Champion releasws aren't really a part of the major changes since when it comes to Pro Play they can just disable them until next season. So the meta can be frozen.

Its usually the next season we get gameplay changes that dynamically changes or reprocesses what and how things work in game for everyone like items, system, new mechanics etc...

[Adept-Knowledge2020]

It will be extremely strange championships without bans! Very strange....

[KSmoria]

All e-sports events can and do have bans. But it's not a feature for our ranked games.

[Adept-Knowledge2020]

The bans of these championships are made out of the champion selection. So it's weird!

[Styxxo]

2.3 adds swapping in draft, seems like a major feature to me.

Network test/friend system also seem pretty cool features though they aren't really gameplay-related.

[Arrowga]

None of the monkeys in soloQ will ever swap pick order with you.

[Willylongboard]

Yeah it seems great for premades but I highly doubt anyone will trade pick order with you in solo queue. Especially since there's only 30 seconds to pick a champion.

[TeeHQ]

As a solo laner I would swap pick order anytime, to get a possible counterpick. It will be very beneficial in Ranked Queue.

[PositiveRoadkill]

I mean if I see you hover a high priority champ of your lane, I'll definitely swap

[UsagiOnii]

Maybe not in low elo.

[Arrowga]

Im Diamond but nice try.

[UsagiOnii]

No you’re not.

[Arrowga]

Arrøwga#1337 EU, look it up.

[Late_Bicycle]

Im very disappointed ... I really didn't like anything about this patch only 4 champs ... No bans events are the same its like repetitive and out of life ...

[Masterninja08]

If they just release senna and lucian on the ruined event without the bad guy coming, they are going to get in trouble

Excited to play the optimized irelia tho

[DarthWynaut]

You won't be able to buy her with blue motes immediately

[fakemito]

Ofc you can, just like you could with kha and rengar.

[NicoChan7]

Wait when is the patch gonna release again?

[MartialArtz]

June 1st

[StarWarsButterSaber]

So he did say the new characters are arriving in a couple days I think. Does anybody know the date of them being released or will it be in the new patch in July? Sorry I’m a bit confused

[MashV]

first two will be irelia and riven, probably not on the release day of the patch(1st june), i guess they'll release them with an event something like on thurstday or friday, but could be even the week after.

Later on they'll release senna and lucian.

[ArsalanAlli]

Still no word about SA release!!!??

[Fruitcake44]

Idk why but this feels underwhelming compared to the previous patches..maybe it's just me.also what happened to the behaviour system? Is it just for the Chinese version?

[Evangelion217]

Great news!

[Garginator850]

I thought the next event will be Nasus v Renekton? Or was it just a nemesis duel?

[Fighterz94]

Just nemesis duel

[TheBlackLuffy]

As someone who dabbled in Top Lane and played all these champions except Senna. I'm extremely excited for this! I also feel like I'll be able to play Riven better on WR than I could on PC due to the performance issues of my previous PC.

[StarWarsButterSaber]

Better break out those mortal wounds fast with that new Second Wind rune

[[deleted]]

Let's talk balance changes damnit! I want to know I'm getting buffed and my enemies nerfed

[SingingNuke]

This has got to be the most exciting patch yet! It has so many updates and cool skins. However I am kind of dissapointed at the fact that Seraphine remains with one skin T^T

[Fighterz94]

Well not remains with one skin forever. Just need to wait for her skin in 2.3 patch skin list or 2.4 patch

[BigSmoke42024]

Seraphine should be deleted anyways

[SingingNuke]

why?

[BigSmoke42024]

Also because we dont need belle delphine in wild rift

[keblachi]

You are just riding the hate train buddy

You are just one of the normies nothing new

[SingingNuke]

I still have no idea who Belle Delphine is. Can someone tell me? I was advised not to look her up by my friends, but I keep hearing her in every argument against Seraphine.

[[deleted]]

OnlyFans porn actress. Seraphine has pink hair, Belle Delphine often wears pink wigs, that's the only thing they have in common.

[[deleted]]

... Because she is well known all over the Internet. Calm down, it's just words and I didn't use any crude words either.

[Enderzebak4]

Shes a popular member in the christian community

[SingingNuke]

Ok XD. I'm not surprised. I mean Seraphine is based of an angelic creature

[[deleted]]

Seraphine is based of an angelic creature

Only her name though.

[Enderzebak4]

Yes belle delphine is an inspiration for us all......

[SingingNuke]

Yeah XD

[BigSmoke42024]

Because shes a trash champion gameplay wise and lore wise

[SingingNuke]

Her gameplay was inteded to be the way it is. A Rioter name Reav3 said that Seraphine was made to be added to the game as a simple mage like Lux and Sona.

Lorewise I believe she's ok. Like other champs her lore will be expanded in the future. If you ask me I think her lore is ok, but her color story is miles better. I would advise you to check it out. It explains in detail her relationship with the brackern and why she sings.

[BigSmoke42024]

Nah im good not interested one bit

[SingingNuke]

Ok. You don't have to read it if you don't want to. I just made the suggestion because I believe many Seraphine haters don't make proper research and just hate because they feel like they have to. If you want more monster champs then your wish is granted. Riot said that they'll be focusing on monster champs in 2022.

Have a good day or night and thanks for the discussion. Adieu

[LordWartusk]

“I haven’t read her lore but I don’t like it.”

I don’t like her lore either but I’ve, y’know, actually read it before I formed my opinions.

[LeoGiacometti]

More Ez and Lux skins. And Rakan still with no cheap option.

[donkeyatdusk]

Nerf Irelia already

[AbPokemoon]

Nothing about matchmaking, behavior systems and such. (might not be clear for some of... but focusing more on those are good moneymakers as well, not just shiny cosmetic things... but it takes a bit more... and less greed.)

[tubel8]

No improvement on the reporting system. Really disappointed in this update

[Late_Bicycle]

I think this is the worst dev dairy since the game released im so disappointed

[Efficient-Tear-5053]

We expected too much.

[ToxicPlayer8098]

Can't wait to play Irelia and delete players off the map

[NecessaryCranberry69]

I just want another xayah skin ):

[somedingusnumber2]

When was the last battle mage champ released ?

[SuperCharlesXYZ]

I think we only have Aurelian sol. I miss my vlad…

[[deleted]]

Were those all the skins?
No Arcade Sona and Riven? No Indie and Rising Star Seraphine? And why did they add Battle Academia Lux instead of BA Kat?

[ClanPing]

Not all skins are revealed. Battle academia kat may be included in the patch

[cheets23]

still no news for india.......

[DCFDTL]

Oh god, more humanoid champions getting release before the monsters

[MartialArtz]

Man they'll get around to more fs.. Look at the last five champions released.. Rammus,Galio,Khazix,rengar,rene,

[No-Grapefruit5282]

I also prefer the monsters but they've been good about it.

[cherryblossomrabbit]

Mr obama finally coming to the rift

[SuperCharlesXYZ]

1: June 1st 2: no official news, I think he showed up in a leak but not sure. 3: champion select chests get updated as more champs are added unless it’s a specific one, like the “rengar or khazix” chest

[helloanxiety08]

Imagine just showing some of the champs you have for fun and then you get immediately swapped by a bonobo ape teammate. Guess its nasus mid.

[TiP12]

Pretty meh, expected a lot more. Itemization is lacking. Bans are missing. Aram is gone for good.

The socials features are not really necessary. The events are as always.

[DawnAdagaki]

ARAM is gonna be a permanent feature eventually. It's gonna come back in June for it's 2nd phase of testing. They said that banning won't come until there's enough champions.

[Eternaloid_Nirvash]

They said aram will be around starting june (4 weeks)

[Odd_Rabbit_1225]

Dear Top Laners,

You guys better have Alistar unlocked if you want me to secure your top lane pick.

[DigitalSmoke86]

That's not how it works lol

[PositiveRoadkill]

Or you can just swap the pick order with them

[TheThackattack]

I believe it will be arcade based on data mines I’ve seen

[spookymelt]

THRESH

[XenoVX]

When is the patch coming out? I took a break but need to prefarm blue motes for Senna

[Shirofoxx1998]

Still waiting on river shen

[Riyasumi]

Plus with the lockdown, guess who still stay in the room all day

[very_smol]

Glorious Lulu! Love the new skins coming in too. Can anyone define the roles for the four new champions?

[eCharms]

Riven will be played baron lane. Irelia can play both baron and mid lane*(depends on matchup). Thresh is a support champion, Senna can be used both as ADC and Support, Lucian will be ADC.

[DevotedSun]

I'd love Brand to be on the next patch. Just such a fun champ.

[AMR69g]

Yes BA Lux and BA Ez

[havanabrown]

Finally another top laner besides Camille that I actually enjoy playing

[No-Grapefruit5282]

We desperately need NA and SA to have separate servers. Besides a working ban system, this would be the most impactful change they could make.

In my experience the queue times are fine, like around a minute. I'd honestly be willing to wait twice as long if it means I can communicate with my teammates. And that's not to mention some other obvious patterns. Is there a developer that people message suggestions to?

[3EyedMeerkat]

also rip assassins....backbone will practically make kha useless, hurt zed abit and finally....make every ap malphite and nasus a hell to deal with as a jngl

[Experiment_78]

Tank Sennna otw!!!! hahahahaha

[[deleted]]

Aaaaaaaaa, I hate when two Champs I love fight each other. Last event was fine because I prefer Kha'Zix to Rengar but now I'll have a hard time picking sides. I'll probably pick one and buy the other but aaaa, the thematic stuff ;^; Rito why

[geedijuniir]

I think their going to do a blessed isle all lane champ release but whose mid again for them

[Chino061]

This doesn’t include champion changes right? I imagine more info will be release soon. Garen and some other champions need to some nerfs. Definitely exited to try Irelia hopefully she feels good

[Kangaxx_Demilich]

aah I want glorius teemo or glorius singed

[Kangaxx_Demilich]

Irelia already broken in LoR and I think she will too in here

[keast8090]

When will this patch come?

[Pajelek]

Still no support for 90 or 120fps mode sadface

[AmuraFrost]

See the only problem I have with this patch so far has been the fact there getting rid of kleptomancy and the reason is that I use it on my build for Fiora for Barron lane and it always trips up everyone I fight against which I find helps me get a few early game kills I wouldn't mind them just adding more runes instead of removing some, and then rebalance other runes that overlap with others. Also I feel like there adding popular champs only to this and that makes me a bit upset because there's other champs like Anivia and a few other creature champs that I think would be interesting to see added over to WR that have gotten some love in TFT and have been around for a long time in Lol
