New items and gameplay updates

Wild Rift patch 2.2 will bring in a few new items and tweaks to the game. The item icons will also be refreshed to match closely with the ones on League of Legends PC.

Riot will be adding Frozen Heart, Force of Nature, and Sunfire Aegis to help flesh out the item pool for tank players. Sapphire Crystal will have the Mana Charge passive on it so that a player can stack earlier and evolve the Tear of the Goddess items sooner.

Sheen will no longer build out of Sapphire Crystal, making it a more accessible choice to non-mana users.

The devs have confirmed that the summoner spell, Ghost, will be updated as well, as there wasn't a lot of use of it in the game. It will be stronger than before and more fun to use, like in League of Legends PC.

Lastly, Riot will also change the way champions play with higher attack speed to help the duo laners.

Quality of life features

The devs will be adding some quality features in Wild Rift to make the gaming experience better. New pings like "Enemy missing" and "Enemy has vision here" will be introduced, along with few other advanced in-game customizations.

Players will be able to tune the dead zones on their ability buttons. The bigger the dead zone, the harder it is to accidentally aim when tapping abilities.

Riot will also be adding more clarity when neutral objectives spawn on the minimap. Adding on to these, gamers will have the option to hide player names in-game.

Riot will soon be running a short test for a new Wild Rift feature called "Position Preference." Through this, a player can choose his/her playstyle, which will help them during matchmaking.

New skins featuring the Stargazers

Patch 2.2 will introduce the premiere "First-to-Wild-Rift" skinline called Stargazer, described by Riot as:

"The Stargazers are godlike archivists who can see and influence fate by studying the stars."

The Stargazer roster will be joined by Camille, Twisted Fate, and Soraka. Riot will also be running a small in-game event to celebrate the launch of the new skinline.

Wild Pass

Later in the patch, Riot will be introducing the Wild Pass, which is a way for the Wild Rift players to get rewarded just for playing. With the pass, the players will earn rewards in the form of skins, icons, emotes, baubles, and other goodies for leveling up.

They can also update their Wild Pass at any point to claim the content they have earned so far. There will also be a Wild Pass Elite, which will come with some extra missions and XP to speed up progress.

Reaching level 50 on the Wild Pass will grant an exclusive Hexplorer Jax skin for players to show off their progress in Wild Rift.
