Patch notes Wild Rift — Patch 7.2c

Cho'Gath

Underperforming since his release, with his damage falling short of expectations, so his damage and Feast scaling go up and his ultimate becomes available more often.

• Vorpal Spikes — Base Damage: 15/35/55/75 + (2.15/2.5/2.85/3.2% + 0.5% × Feast stack) × Target's Max Health → 20/45/70/95 + (2.3/2.7/3.1/3.5% + 0.6% × Feast stack) × Target's Max Health
• Feast — Cooldown: 80/70/60s → 70/60/50s
• Feast — Bonus Health to Damage Ratio: 8% → 10%

Jinx

Still struggling despite the crit item buffs, so her laning and her teamfight reset potential are improved.

• Base Stats — Base Attack Damage: 54 → 58
• Get Excited! — Attack Speed: 12% → 25%

Nilah

Dominating high-skill play, so her crit scaling and her sustained ultimate damage are reduced to curb her late-game power.

• Formless Blade — Critical Rate to Armor Penetration Ratio: 35% → 28%
• Apotheosis — Dot Damage: 60/120/180 + 140% Bonus Attack Damage → 60/110/160 + 50% Bonus Attack Damage

Leona

A bit too durable during the laning phase, shrugging off poke without much consequence, so some of that early durability is shifted into the late game.

• Base Stats — Base Health: 750 → 690
• Base Stats — Base Armor: 55 → 50
• Base Stats — Health per level: 120 → 128
• Eclipse — Cooldown: 14/13/12/11s → 13/12/11/10s
• Eclipse — Bonus Armor: 40/60/80/100 → 30/50/70/90
• Eclipse — Bonus Magic Resistance: 40/60/80/100 → 30/50/70/90

Rumble

Dealing too much damage without needing to invest in Ability Power, so his damage profile is shifted to reward AP-heavy builds, particularly when burning through high-Health targets in the Danger Zone.

• Base Stats — Base Health: 690 → 660
• Base Stats — Health per level: 120 → 128
• Flamespitter — Damage: 120/160/200/240 + 110% Ability Power + 6%/8%/10%/12% Target Max Health → 100/140/180/220 + 125% Ability Power + 7%/8%/9%/10% Target Max Health
• Flamespitter — Danger Zone Damage: 180/240/300/360 + 165% Ability Power + 9%/12%/15%/18% Target Max Health → 150/210/270/330 + 187.5% Ability Power + 10.5%/12%/13.5%/15% Target Max Health
• Scrap Shield — Shield: 40/70/100/130 + 6% Max Health → 40/80/120/160 + 4% Max Health
• Scrap Shield — Danger Zone Shield: 60/105/150/195 + 9% Max Health → 60/120/180/240 + 6% Max Health
• Electro Harpoon — Bonus Ability Power Damage: 40% → 50%
• Electro Harpoon — Danger Zone Bonus Ability Power Damage: 60% → 75%

Nasus

Like other scaling champions, too difficult to keep in check, so his early-game durability is reduced and his ultimate cooldown is increased.

• Base Stats — Base Armor: 46 → 40
• Fury of the Sands — Cooldown: 75/70/65s → 90/80/70s

Ryze

Thriving since the updates to Archangel's Staff and other mage items, so his early-game combat power is toned down.

• Base Stats — Base Health: 660 → 630
• Base Stats — Base Armor: 40 → 37
• Rune Prison — Damage: 70/110/150/190 + 65% Ability Power + 4% Bonus Mana → 50/90/130/170 + 55% Ability Power + 3% Bonus Mana

Warwick

Too effective at picking off priority targets and taking control of the early and mid game since the changes to his ultimate, so his pick potential is dialed back.

• Infinite Duress — Cooldown: 80/70/60s → 100/90/80s
• Infinite Duress — Base Damage: 125/300/475 → 100/275/450

Kog'Maw

The mage item overhaul gave AP Kog'Maw plenty of Ability Power and Mana to rain down damage from a safe distance, so constraints are added while preserving the core artillery playstyle.

• Living Artillery — Mana Cost: 40 - 400 (Base on number of casts) → 50 - 500 (Base on number of casts)
• Living Artillery — Range: 12/14/16 → 11/13/15
• Living Artillery — Base Damage: 100/140/180 → 80/120/160

Berserker's Greaves

The power gap between some Tier 2 and Tier 3 boots had grown too large, so select Tier 2 boots are buffed and Tier 3 upgrades are trimmed to give each one a clearer, more focused strength.

• Base Stats — Attack Speed: 30% → 35%

Mercury's Treads

One of the Tier 2 boots buffed to close the power gap that had grown between Tier 2 and Tier 3 options.

• Base Stats — Tenacity: 15% → 30%

Plated Steelcaps

One of the Tier 2 boots buffed to close the power gap that had grown between Tier 2 and Tier 3 options.

• Block — Damage Reduction: 6% → 10%

Gunmetal Greaves

One of the Tier 3 boot upgrades trimmed so that each upgrade keeps a clearer, more focused strength.

• Noxian Gait — Movement Speed: 15/12% (Melee/Ranged) → 10/7% (Melee/Ranged)

Chainlaced Crushers

One of the Tier 3 boot upgrades trimmed so that each upgrade keeps a clearer, more focused strength.

• Base Stats — Magic Resistance: 35 → 30

Armored Advance

One of the Tier 3 boot upgrades trimmed so that each upgrade keeps a clearer, more focused strength.

• Base Stats — Armor: 35 → 30

Spellslinger's Shoes

One of the Tier 3 boot upgrades trimmed so that each upgrade keeps a clearer, more focused strength.

• Base Stats — Ability Power: 40 → 35
• Big Bully — True Damage: 22 → 18

Sunfire Aegis

Falling behind as a first-item option, particularly against physical damage, so its Armor is increased to reinforce its identity as a high-Armor waveclear item.

• Base Stats — Health: 425 → 350
• Base Stats — Armor: 20 → 40
• Base Stats — Build Path: Bami's Cinder (1300) + Ruby Crystal (500) + Cloth Armor (500) + 600 → Bami's Cinder (1300) + Chain Vest (900) + 700

Stridebreaker

Not delivering enough power for its intended users, particularly champions who rely on higher Attack Speed, so it gets a boost.

• Base Stats — Attack Speed: 15% → 25%

Mikael's Blessing

Not living up to its role as a powerful protective option, so it gets a straightforward buff to compete with the other support items.

• Base Stats — Healing and Shield Value: 6% → 9%
• Purify — Cooldown: 90s → 75s

Kaenic Rookern

Fell behind following the mage item overhaul, so it is brought back as a competitive Magic Resist option, particularly for champions stacking large amounts of Health.

• Base Stats — Magic Resistance: 75 → 80
• Magebane — Shield: 70 ~ 180 (Based on level) + 10% Max Health → 50 ~ 150 (Based on level) + 14% Max Health

Elemental Dragons

Elemental Dragons and Dragon Soul had lost some of their importance over time, so their impact is increased to make Dragons more meaningful strategic objectives.

• Infernal Dragon — Stats Bonus, Attack Damage and Ability Power: 3% → 4%
• Infernal Dragon — Dragon Soul, Adaptive Damage: 135 + 25% Bonus Attack Damage + 12.5% Ability Power → 180 + 35% Bonus Attack Damage + 15% Ability Power
• Mountain Dragon — Dragon Soul, Shield: 260 → 350
• Ocean Dragon — Stats Bonus, Missing Health restored every 5 seconds: 2% → 2.8%
• Ocean Dragon — Dragon Soul, Healing: 190 + 36% Bonus Attack Damage + 18% Ability Power + 7.5% Bonus Health → 250 + 48% Bonus Attack Damage + 25% Ability Power + 10% Bonus Health

Baron Lane Minions

Baron Lane minion damage reduction created more frustrating lane states than intended, particularly through extended wave freezes, so the mechanic is reverted.

• Before 6:00, minion damage reduction against damage from other minions: Removed
