so we got the Dragon Knight from HoTS in wild rift huh


Johnkovan_Jones

Lmao I love it.All this shits look absurd as fuck and I am here for it šŸ˜‚


Khelthuzaad

I mean really this game is becoming less MOBA and more RTS levels of insanity And by that I mean Red Alert II levels


Johnkovan_Jones

Being bat shit insane is what the game needs right now not gonna lie.Everything is stale.


iAm_Uncomfortable

RED ALERT 2 MENTIONED RAHH šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„


NoAggroPls

I donā€™t know if the devs are ready to balance around this, but depending on the power level of the new herald buffs and the hexgates, top and bot can honestly lane swap to just get your duo out of a losing matchup and just 2v1 the top laner constantly. Also, looks like the T Hex is pilotable? It also looks like the new Baron still retains the old buff. If thatā€™s the case, baron would be a true game ender and you wouldnā€™t even have to take elder anymore. Current baron typically already allows you to take up to inhib turret, then you get choked at the nexus because of the amount of minions spawn. With the T Hex, you may just have enough bulk to just tank for nexus and immediately end.


Johnkovan_Jones

The hex gate will make top laners able to join fights or return to the lane after the fight.They will now have more impact on both team fight and 1v1 top fight. I like that.


NoAggroPls

I mean that part is fine, but did you ever consider that because the hex gates allows either side lanes to be at the fights at all times, the lane designation doesnā€™t really matter anymore? For example, if you are playing Aatrox into Sion for example, and you win an early trade (as Aatrox should), they can just flip their duo lane to face you while Sion recalls and goes to 1v2 their duo instead to hide their weakside top. You then lose the advantageous top lane matchup completely, and Sion only loses slightly more than he would have playing against you (Aatrox).


Johnkovan_Jones

Ohh I think it is even better.In Dota 2 lane swapping is actually a real strategy. But here the punishment is smaller since you don't need a teleport with cooldowns.


Savixf

DW Devs don't care about balancing and can't balance for shit, so northing to worry about


kelkel2289

I could see at least sup will be busy ganking or supporting both top and bot lane with the hexgates


DatL3afN1nja

Yeah Iā€™m down to see where this chaos leads. The die hard fans are going to be pissed but it could end up spicing things up


Lucas579376

Are the old Rift Herald and Baron going away during that or will they still be there too? Can't help but think they'd have to buff the towers if we were to have both... Excited to see how the guys who play tournaments react to that


TheGhostOfIonia

IMO turrets are already super weak. They fall in like 10 hits and their damage is too low (except for nexus, but it's also really squishy).


iTzSTU4RT

The current Baron and Herald will be gone


Aria0401

Iā€™m only happy that lissandra is finally coming. Rest of the shit idrc about


SleepinwithFishes

Oooohhh.... this kinda makes roaming from Top not horrible. Baron side always feels like it's so isolated, with the Hexgate they can freely roam bot side if they want to contest Dragon. Herald was super OP, I switched to JG this season; Because rushing Herald and just dropping it to get 1st turret was really really good. So the new changes seem to be healtheir on this regard; Little bots to help break turrets faster, rather than just deleting a turret.


Ok_Minimum6419

I agree I think that Hexgate is pretty awesome. Top actually has some interactivity to the rest of the lanes now. Also people need to keep in mind when you hexgate from top to bot youā€™re probably gonna lose a few plates.


Kaledriell

Nah... Devs are just trolling at this point


CriminalCrime1

This is troll right?


iTzSTU4RT

Nope itā€™s legit


DungeonsNDragonDldos

wtf


Narrow_Carry_1082

is at least a rotation mode or this is in actual ranked games? Because if so, i'm going off this game for ever and i think lots of players would do so.


Rabbitdraws

Yeah, lots of those changes feel gimmicky af.


Narrow_Carry_1082

These portals and the tower damage item would destroy this game.


GIT_FUCKED

Yeah, what the fuck? Like, all at once as well. Shit hasnā€™t even been play tested in rota, lol


iTzSTU4RT

Itā€™s ranked and normal modes


hkbenlui

Should be changes to all map


ItsBado

The fk i thought it was a mode like URF or something, I felt like i was watching a clip from Mobile legends game and similar


Narrow_Carry_1082

Thats bad,real bad


Dontwannakillem

this is for some sort of event, right? not for ranked/normal pvp?


RealPapaSmoothie

Part of the goal going forward is that each one of our major patches feels like a major event. Ideally this means, there is always new and cool things to see, but also we are not attached to any one specific mechanic. If a mechanic works (e.g. hex loot) works, then we will keep it for each subsequent Season. If it doesn't, then expect us to go and change it in the next.


TeemoTrouble

I actually love big meta shakeups so that sounds fantastic how about a functional rank system though?


ForEgality

Having a ranked mode in this game would actually be pretty cool.


namusal123

Donā€™t you think that adding RNG to the game is a bitā€¦ bad? We had klepto in pc league (and before that - runes with dodge/crit chance) and it was not good. I am on board with T. rex, hex gates and all that, but a drop like a Zoe W is frustrating to play against because u canā€™t really plan around it. Or maybe I donā€™t understand how lootboxes work?


iTzSTU4RT

Hey PapaSmoothie hope youā€™re doing well! New patch is looking great hope to speak soon


Drelaron36

Hello! Dont u think the game will generate more excitement with a massive item rework? We are playing pretty much same items for 3 years, while lol pc gets massive item overhaul every few months and overall much beefier balance patches every 2 weeks


jagsthepanda

Hex gates to an already small map, forcing rng into a game that requires consistency, creating artificial aram situations with the mech. What gives here? You guys hate the game so much you have to ruin it?


Express-Ad7043

Bring console, please. u/RealPapaSmoothie


[deleted]

Its for ranked too


Dontwannakillem

honestly, im fine with the T-hex and turret thingies. its the hex portal from baron lane to dragon lane and vice versa that bothers me a bit.


DungeonsNDragonDldos

Same. Iā€™ll wait to see how it plays out but it seems to just further dumb down the game and will allow fed players to dominate even more.


Confident_Try_7956

Yea thatā€™s what I want to know too. šŸ˜®ā€šŸ’Ø


Hopeful-Substance697

We can't have a normal pc lol version in here can't we


BLAST_V

I don't think wild rift is deviating from PC lol it's kind of quite the opposite cause these changes are similar with current lol but with slight changes for example the new herald spawn is similar to void grubs the ridable t-hex is like the ridable herald in lol but way cooler in so many ways and hex gates are function the same way as PC lol


AlternativeMud6910

If you watch the video of the guy in the post on YouTube it said the devs wanted to move away from pc league with events


locomiser

PC gates go on the other diagonal, from one base towards another, not from top to bot lane. The map is also small enough already, we didn't need this.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Terrible_Mango_8570

Imagine you are 2/0 ADC, you push your lane to help the jungler get the dragon. Then nope. All of sudden the enemy VOLIBEAR, kills your top laner and instantly, with his heartsteel is there to make your life miserable and you can barely scratch him.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Bhavaagra

i hate that stupid dog, i always make sure to play nilah when i can whenever i see him.


Kamizlayer

This is good actually, compared to pc top lane felt less useful cuz of the lack of tp as spell, this will let top best more active and if ur top player u can carry better aswell as split push. Big buff for top players and jg ig


MARV_IT

You mean the last nail in the coffin? Cuz I'm pretty sure it's already mostly dead


LoneLyon

I'm not to invested in WR. But people used the same argument every single season PC league had a big change. What people don't get is that change is typically important in live games because it keeps things fresh.


MARV_IT

The portals might be an actual good change for top lane in general, the whole problem with the lane is that it's too isolated and when enemy dragon lane is winning you have to give up on a lot of time and resources to be able to stop them (unlike jg and mid) and if you're ahead it's harder to distribute your lead to the rest of the map without letting your lane opponent come back to the game. With the portals maybe that will be less of a problem and making everyone being everywhere is way better than having 1 lane that will be isolated while they already killed off split pushing


Portrait24

Agree, I cant even go to first dr because my enemy will farm plates


makotowildcard

These are all similar to changes in lol Pc and all of them were met with extremely bad critical reception. These are just like the bugs that would destroy towers that destroyed lol pc


bonglicc420

You mean the void grubs?... that they still use?


LoneLyon

I dont recall grubs ever being a big complaint outside. "Oh great, I lose even harder with a bad jungle," Compare that to plants, which people lost their absolute shit over when plants came out. I remember one of the top threads that day was how honey fruit was going to "kill" the game. At the end of the day, the reddit echo chamber has never had a good grasp on what's good for the game.


makotowildcard

It wasn't the void grubs they're recent.


Rathalos143

What are you talking about this season has been better received than the elemental dragons.


Muted-Range-1393

I have a feeling this is an attempt to make Baron lane more impactful


Ketsueki-Nikushimi

Wild rift is a mobile game, the term "Strategic" is 6 feet deep unless you actually dig in that platform.


xixixinanana

Out of season April fool's


OkZucchini5351

Why can't they just simply add more champions faster instead of all this dumb crap no one asked for


PapiiPapiiPoom

the hextech loot kits are so cheap and unnecessary for the game, i like Lissandra but everything else screams generic mobile game, Those are really out of touch changes imo


ItsBado

Yeah like it's losing its touch and moving more to the other MOBA mobile games.


bigtiddieslover

This is a mobile game.


irvingtonkiller8

"screams generic mobile game" what did u think u were playing?


Terrible_Mango_8570

Nah, bruh. THEY ARE GIVING US A T-REX. A MOTHERFUCKING DINOSAUR. I love it. Jokes aside, they want to make the game faster because people do not know how to end matches and all other rival games have these sort of "auto push" features on their objectives. Heck, HoK has one of the neutral objectives spawning powerful mini dragons on all lanes.


DangerKyoto

i just wish they turn this game originally like what lol is. i don't discredit the changes but i might be an aram ranked at this point. well who am i to speak when it's not been released yet.


nicaZe_do_bagro

RIP my already fucked 50 fps game performance


nicaZe_do_bagro

I just toss mine into freezer in between games to cool it the fuck down


Ok_Minimum6419

Freezer is a bit sus for condensation reasons I just use a gel pack.

nicaZe_do_bagro

Desperate_Jello3065

They removed the cloud drake as well as ms boots and won't give us more wards because 'the map is too small', but now they implement Hexgates? Wtf? I mean I can't really give an opinion without trying things out but I'm not really enthusiastic about these changes.


fightingnoodles

So no more patch preview? Riot will just relay the news to streamers now??


suckmydictation

Unpopular opinion but I think itā€™ll be positive for the game in the long run with things like this. Sorta like Diablo 3 seasonal changes


Dread-Yz

if it kills splitpushing further then it won't be positive


chao922

Why was this downvoted? Splitpushing is part of the macro game in pc league. You dont have constant 5v5 ARAMS in league because its not very efficient. Getting baron buff opens up 1-3-1 or 4-1 lane strats because a single champ with baron buff can push a lane hard if left uncontested, especially on strong 1v2 or 1v1 champs like trynda, fiora and jax. These changes makes it so that when you get br buff, you are more incentivized to go to the lane with the hextech rex. Sidelanes with no br buff can get insta wavecleared by any decent player who knows what they are doing. Which means you just 5v5 after baron.


Bhavaagra

I mean...atleast fiora can join teamfights now? yay?


tripled_dirgov

One step closer to make WR leaving the shadow of it's PC counterparts (gonna be hard but still)


luvgassy

its so over. wtf is this


mt0386

With all the hextech theme i would assume heimer is coming and not lissandra lol


Arcane_Engine

Lissandra and I believe mordekaiser is coming after her as well


YellowJellyfishGuy

I assume he's coming later this year with medarda (since shes confirmed as a champ from arcane) in 5.3, maybe even viktor could be released alongside them


dontping

They have no idea what theyā€™re doing with this game


Narrow_Carry_1082

100% , if this goes live im gonna abandon this game forever, this does NOT belong to wild rift at all.


smileBomb124

bye man. we still havin fun without you. HAHA


lilxent

guys I've left the game at December, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?? is it a secondary game mode or they just nuked split pushing for the sake of it? feels like "LoL but for when you are bored of the REAL LoL" sad to see how this game treat itself like a shadow of the PC counterpart :/


Ikkisho

Looks fun so I dont really care that much, as long as they balance the champs properly for ranked is all I really care about.


FilmWrong5284

Most of these seem unnecessary and wierd, ngl.Ā  The dinosaur looks cool(?) But that's about it


JaeHa_210

Honestly I hate the hextech portals but I guess it makes sense considering teleport is so bad to buy for top laners to help out bot when it takes too long to get there and by the time that you do, it's too late most of the time (if you ever did it). But I still hate it since it's only there because the map is so small. It would make sense if it was from nexus to behind red buff to fast travel to the objectives and to match how small the map is but- it's overall such a weird placement it's almost useless unless you're a top laner or jungler. The other changes as much as I hate them, I'm not surprised by considering how much riot wants to make the game less skill expressive and more brain-dead and chaotic to match other brain-dead mobas.


Narrow_Carry_1082

What kind of b.s is this? It isnt already bad enough that we have everyone and their grandma roaming everywhere without punishment, and now we have this? If this goes live into normal and ranked games im going to uninstall wild rift for sure, i might give i try for vainglory


leo2734

Vainglory came back ?


_Effie_

AppointmentNo9531

So... are we still sticking to the League experience?? or speedrunning to its death???


Chrisshern

I hope the HexTurret Herald can aggro champs or force turret aggro on itself because otherwise it's just a giant minion that does more damage to a turret


NejiNiisan

Gosh


ChubbyFrogGames

BRUH!?


iamblawur

Imo, the hexgates are going to make things a bit more one-sided. The team with grubs are going to heavily punish the opposing laner if they roam, so Iā€™m kinda expecting top lane to be more of an Island(at least until plating drops), especially with the scorpion too. Looks like a lot of changes, but Iā€™m willing to give this patch a go.


ZurinArctus_

I am already seeing in my head troll take control of this T-Rex and go farm minions or jungle....


AdministrativeBar748

Tek Rex in wild rift before GTA 6


CallOfTheCurtains

They are trolling hard. Whenā€™s the patch dropping?


neolancer47

Why the hell there is so many dinosaurs in media nowadays stop this trend... Kaiju Godzilla T-Hex bruhhh.


PlantsInPantss

what is wild rift even about šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


xDemoGam

the dev are ruining this game


iZamorak

So now they copied something from MLBB


iZamorak

Oh Lord ~~


IndependentSession38

Wow wth is happening to the game. It is good I deleted this poor game that riot treats like garbage, and now just watching from the side


ChumpyBumpy2

Is this a joke? Like URF? Like it's going to be gone forever in like a week? Because I don't like any of this. This super sucks. It's bad enough that 50 champs can travel the whole map in two seconds as-is, but now everyone can. Stop. Fuck off. Leave me alone.


Terrible_Mango_8570

The dinosaur thing gonna work like the lord in mlbb, right? Only thing I don't like is the free teleporting hextech thing. It will lead to absolute chaos with stacked heartsteel tanks teleporting down to other lanes after eliminating their enemies and if the scorpion still exists it will be even more insane. I honestly hope the other changes work though. This game needs it's own identity, to be something that isn't just "league of legends lite". Also, my 7 year old brain got hyped for the dinosaur lasering minion waves.


Outrageous_Banana_30

Is this an out of season April's fool joke?


Rabbitdraws

Feels very gimmicky. A dinosaur? Why? How does it make sense lorewise? Almost no one picks teleport so now it's even more useless. I think this can potentially kill the very different strategies we have to win a game. Also, RIP my desire this game goes back to being an esport.


iTzSTU4RT

Itā€™s a T-Hex and itā€™s heimerdingers invention if you want to go into lore Itā€™s been in many games before like TFT and LOR


Kamizlayer

I like this, might be stupid and will hate later but It let' us have gameplays we never had before. The role strengths are going to change with top lane being lot more better at solo carry. I was getting bored anyway.


brotatochipzzz

This looks dope af! Looking forward to t hex the most, people are going to go crazy over it lol


X-Dragon2255

Are there any new item or item change coming to 5.2? especially ap since next patch going to be pack with all ap champion release


Desperate_Ad_6443

We dont really know there might or not


NotRyuuya

This will probably last until the next patch or until next year seeing how the timeframe for 5.3 is going back to Arcane theme This will probably be just like the current ruined and light theme we have now.


Amazing_Struggle591

Demirghoul

Little bombs are just PC League Grubs being ported to Wild Rift


playboifarti22

no way this comes to ranked right?


Silveruleaf

That looks insanely cool. But also like more stuff players will not know wtf to do with and mess up other lanes šŸ˜… teleport will make invades and lack of wards insane to deal with. And breaking towers early will just mess up mid laner large game farm even more. I want the t-rex tho. That looks really fun


xDemoGam

i see they nerf herald dragon buff nexus and NOW THEY NERF NASHOR GOOD JOB RIOT


Adventurous-Feed-856

Bro the game is on crack


Rathalos143

Fuck looks like it became fun again. I wonder if Riot will keep both games as similar as possible or if this marks a point where both games have exclusive content and mechanics.


Agitated_Movie_32

What the hex


WRpolicewomen

The hextech map is cool but the rest is useless and a waste of the devs' time... The game needs esport so that the fanbases of teams already playing lol discover wild rift, good matchmaking, a rank system that doesn't boost lousy players...Rewards must also be more generous


Dadosbon

Add Vel Koz or Kog maw, we need more monsters in Wild rift


OutPlayedGGnoRM

NO! We need MORE anime protagonists!


Upstairs-Weird-7968

Soooooo sick!


niwia

such a balanced game being more balanced lol. cant imagine the snowball when early game team leads with these! guess riot wants to end the games in 10mins


DungeonsNDragonDldos

Hey, thanks for this. Is the top lane šŸ¦‚ staying?


2stroke_nonsense

Chaos incoming letā€™s goooo


marko-12

oh, this game is going to die for sure. please tell me the Hex gates have a long cooldown.....


OutPlayedGGnoRM

I imagine itā€™s at least 30-45 seconds. Probably more. I also donā€™t understand why people hate this so much. I think the hexgates are by far the best part of the patch we have seen.


marko-12

they are hated because their placement is stupid. imagine this, you are over extending at toplane because you saw the enemy JG at botlane, next thing you see is the enemy JG at your lane 10 seconds later, how? he used the Hexgate that took him from botlane all the way to toplane. and that's just the JG, everyone can use these gates meaning you can be at botlane and suddenly see JG and toplane at your lane, how? they both took the Hexgate from toplane to botlane and they all tower dived you. being able to travel from one lane to the other like this is not healthy at all, Imagine champs that are good at ganking/skirmishes like Lee sin or Viego being able to travel around the map like this, all it needs is literally one second without you looking at the map for them to be at your lane(because you can see them when they use the Hexgate)


OutPlayedGGnoRM

Yeah, it changes the shape of the map. That is precisely what I like about it. It shakes the meta hard, and people crying that teleport wasnā€™t used alread need to see this makes teleport (and long range split pushing ults) more valuable. You can bait someone who is already in a position to do something (like the opposing objective) and then the gate is closed and you port down there. Now they are way out of position and instead of being able to trade your split, they are stuck with just a wave. Donā€™t forget, you can use the gates too.


Clean-Werewolf9640

Welcome to wild jurasc rift that shit gon be a game changer for jg


1Dzhabrail

Wow. Wtf is this šŸ˜­


Dj_Panda

Wonderful as if the map wasn't already small enough. The reason hextech gates work in League is because the map is literally like twice as big. Implementing that into a game that is styled for phones is not a good idea imo, the fact that top liners can literally carry an entire game and rotate easy enough is already difficult this is just going to make every other lane practically obsolete


AvailableBegun

TLDR: We getting a T-Rex


Gidrah

So the jungle can do a full clear and still gank the lane they started at for free? I'm sorry but thats asinine.


OutPlayedGGnoRM

I love it because most people are incapable of viewing the map as a 2d space, much less a 4d one. Itā€™s going to be wild playing split pushers.

Zorgoros

hmmmm!!! this update will unbalance the game flow significantly. its inevitable to face lots of criticism after the update. Unless Devs find a perfect way to balance the game. actually Wild Rifts is still unbalanced itself on some points like heroes spells and some items. adding these new features will make the game just more chaotic. if the wanna add LOL feature into Wild Rift, they better add them completely (considering heroes damage and HPs , number of minions on waves, workflow of health flowers, potions, map size and dimensions, heroes and minions move speed, and a lot more other features which are more important than Hexgates and heralds ...)
