Patch notes Wild Rift — Patch 7.2d
Patch 7.2d cuts down a few overperformers while stitching power back into champions and items that needed the help. Syndra, Yuumi, Vladimir and Mordekaiser gain ground after the mage item and boots changes, while Gwen, Twisted Fate, Yone and Thresh come down. Edge of Night and Stormsurge get more attractive, and AAA ARAM rotates its content with an in-game Spellbook.
Champion changes
Syndra
After the mage item changes her low Ability Power scaling left her behind, so her damage scaling and early pressure go up, and her third ability comes back sooner to give her more chances to punish mistakes.
- Dark Sphere — Base Damage: 70/115/160/205 → 80/130/180/230
- Force of Will — Damage Ability Power ratio: 45% → 60%
- Scatter the Weak — Cooldown: 17s → 15s
- Scatter the Weak — Damage Ability Power ratio: 35% → 50%
Yuumi
She has struggled to keep herself and her allies safe, so her supportive tools get a round of buffs.
- You and Me! — Cooldown: 10/5/0s → 8/4/0s
- You and Me! — Heal and Shield Power granted by Passive: 6/7/8/9% → 8/9/10/11%
- Zoomies — Cooldown: 10s → 9s
- Zoomies — Shield value: 85/110/135/160 + 30% Ability Power → 80/110/140/170 + 40% Ability Power
Vladimir
Too dependent on items to come online, so his stat conversion and ability damage improve to give him power earlier.
- Crimson Pact — Bonus Health to Ability Power conversion ratio: 4.5% → 5%
- Crimson Pact — Ability Power to Health conversion ratio: 140% → 150%
- Transfusion — Crimson Rush bonus damage ratio: 75% → 85%
- Tides of Blood — Minimum Damage: 20/40/60/80 + 35% Ability Power + 2.5% Maximum Health → 30/50/70/90 + 35% Ability Power + 3% Maximum Health
Veigar
He has damage to spare but surviving the laning phase to stack safely is hard, so his first ability reaches further.
- Baleful Strike — Range: 7.75 → 9
Pantheon
His early execute threshold was too reliable when contesting epic monsters, so it triggers on lower Health.
- Comet Spear — Critical Strike threshold based on health: 35% → 25%
Mordekaiser
He lost ground when Magic Penetration left the item pool, so his innate penetration rises and his third ability comes back sooner.
- Darkness Rise — Magic Penetration: 1/3/5/7% → 3/6/9/12%
- Death's Grasp — Cooldown: 17.5/15/12.5/10s → 15/13/11/9s
Twisted Fate
His third ability scaled too well with Ability Power, letting some builds out-damage what was intended.
- Stacked Deck — Ability Power ratio: 45% → 35%
Fiora
Attack-reliant fighters have struggled against Plated Steelcaps since the boots changes, so part of her earlier nerfs is reverted.
- Duelist's Dance — Damage: 3.5% + 0.05% Bonus Attack Damage → 4% + 0.055% Bonus Attack Damage
Gwen
One of the biggest winners of the Dusk and Dawn and boots changes, so her first ability scales less and hits monsters for less.
- Snip Snip! — Ability Power ratio per hit: 7% → 6%
- Snip Snip! — Final hit Ability Power ratio: 35% → 30%
- Snip Snip! — Damage modifier against jungle monsters: 105% → 100%
Yone
He scaled too safely in the Baron Lane, so lower base Armor gives opponents a window to punish him before his spikes.
- Base Stats — Armor: 43 → 37
Renekton
Like Fiora, he lost power with the boots changes, so his ability damage goes up to win some of it back.
- Cull the Meek — Bonus Attack Damage ratio for normal damage: 90% → 100%
- Ruthless Predator — Base Damage: 24/48/72/96 → 20/60/100/140
- Ruthless Predator — Reign of Anger Base Damage: 36/72/108/144 → 30/90/150/210
Caitlyn
Her late game fell short and her traps gave too little control, so her Passive scales harder and traps recharge faster.
- Headshot — Damage: 50%-100% (based on level) Attack Damage + 125 × Critical Rate → 60%-110% (based on level) Attack Damage + 200 × Critical Rate
- Yordle Snap Trap — Charge time: 27/22/17/12s → 25/20/15/10s
Thresh
He could re-throw his hook too often after landing it, so the cooldown refund on a champion hit is smaller.
- Death Sentence — Cooldown reduction on-hit: 3s → 2s
Item changes
Edge of Night
Even after its price cut it could not compete with other Armor Penetration options, so its flat penetration rises and its defensive utility costs less damage.
- Base Stats — Armor Penetration: 8 → 12
Stormsurge
Its high price made it awkward to fit into builds, so it costs less and becomes a more accessible option.
- Base Stats — Price: 2900 → 2800
Game mode changes
