This thread serves as a summary of today's gameplay reveal for people who may have missed it or cannot watch the stream. This thread is continuously being updated until the end of the stream. Please do note that the list below only shows the confirmed details from the livestream, and does not include any speculations which may be subjective. If you want to add further details, please discuss down below so that it may be added.

Official Roster

  • Ahri, Master Yi, Annie, Garen, Fiora, Vi, Blitzcrank, Camille, Ezreal, Janna, Soraka, Nami, Nasus, Braum, Miss Fortune, Graves, Jinx, Jhin, Alistar, Olaf, Gragas, Jax, Malphite, Shyvana, Aurelion Sol, Orianna, Fizz, Ashe, Tryndamere, Twisted Fate, Vayne, Xin Zhao, Zed, Yasuo, Ziggs

Changes to Champions

  • Twisted Fate's Stacked Deck (E) now has an additional active which grants a temporary attack speed bonus.

  • Nasus's Siphoning Strike (Q) now grants 5 stacks instead of 3 stacks from minions. It is still unclear how many stacks he gains from champions and large minions, presumably 10.

  • Shyvana's Fury of the Dragonborn (P) now grants bonus passive abilities instead of armor when taking down dragons. If an Infernal Drake is taken down, Shyvana's autoattacks deal additional true damage if the champion is marked by Flame Breath (E). If a Mountain Drake is taken down, champions autoattacked by Twin Bite (Q) are now slowed.

Cosmetics

  • Skins will not be ported over from League PC. Skins will follow League's business model, meaning that players will not have bonus stats or an advantage if they equip or own any cosmetic item.

  • Foxfire Ahri, Arcade Blitzcrank, Demon Vi, Secret Agent Xin Zhao, Cowgirl Miss Fortune, Glacial Malphite, Arclight Vayne and High Noon Jhin confirmed to return to Wild Rift.

Summoner Spells

  • After taking four jungle camps, you can upgrade your smite and choose either Chilling (Blue Smite) or Challenging (Red Smite) for the rest of the game.

Runes

  • Players can now pick a keystone and three minor runes. Players can only pick one minor rune from each tree. Additionally, new runes were added to the game. The following are the new minor runes confirmed in the video:

[Minor Runes List

]

  • Kleptomancy makes a return after being removed from League PC. However, this now only procs off abilities and grants a temporary active item to use. Twin Shadows is confirmed to be part of the loot table based off the clip.

  • Font of Life is upgraded from a minor rune to a keystone and has more powerful effects. This is confirmed to replace Guardian as the support defensive keystone.

  • Conqueror now grants a direct 10% damage increase when fully activated, rather than on League PC where a portion is converted to true damage and healing.

Warding

  • Players will have a trinket slot above the right control stick which allows them to place a ward anywhere near the player.

Items

  • Players will be limited to solely one active item. Therefore, unique combinations will now be possible such as ADCs having access to a multi-use Zhonya's active.

  • New items will be added to the game, while old items will recieve new and updated icons.

  • A new item built from Tear of the Goddess. It will have defensive stats for tanks and will grant a shield on crowd controlling an enemy champion.

[Awakened Soulstealer

]

Monsters

  • Buffs have been slightly changed. Red Buff 'grants a damage increase'1 and Blue Buff now grants bonus HP and mana regeneration.

  • Buffs will evolve at the late game, granting empowered buffs when taking down. Evolved buffs will grant an empowered version of their respective buff, such as red buff giving massive damage and blue buff giving massive regen.

  • Elder Dragon now also has a respective element (i.e. Elder Infernal, Elder Cloud, Elder Ocean, Elder Mountain) which grants an empowered version of their respective buff when taken down.

Game Systems

  • A new in-depth tutorial will be added which improves access for newer players to the game.

  • A share feature similar to other mobile games, which allows the player to post achievements such as reaching a higher division to social media.

  • An item sets feature which allows you to customize what items get recommended in the quick buy section.

Thank you for this! I actually mislooked the boots price for the active's price. My phrasing was indeed a bit awkward but I indeed intended it to still be red buff's burn effect rather than a direct damage increase. Although it is unclear whether there would actually be one or not. Guess we'll have to see :)

No worries!

I believe the Evolved red buff also grants armor & mr shred, but it's been a long while since I worked on them. We have an added effect per Evolved Buff in addition to the baseline being stronger. It also helps us balance the mechanics between late game and laning / ganking phase for junglers.

Hi, can you answer if off role positions will be possible? Like vayne and soraka top? Just two examples but to check if other interactions will be ok.

So I think off roles in WR will be a little easier to pull off than PC, but in large part because the balance will take a while to settle. I firmly believe that the vast majority of 'off-lanes' in PC such as Vayne top are totally viable. This will have to be a mix of developer and community consensus though. It doesn't really matter if I think Vayne top is good, if the community at large views it as a troll pick.

Can I ask why Font of Life is a keystone now? It doesn’t grant any advantage to the holder. It’s not exactly fun, being forced to pick something that solely benefits other people. That’s why it was replaced with Guardian as a keystone when runes reforged came out.

Sure. I don't think we're overly happy with Guardian either on PC, but definitely it has a lot of issues on Wild Rift. HUD space is limited and that type of proximity requirement and long cooldown ability has a ton of problems. The Font mechanics are a little different than PC iirc, but good supportive style Keystones are super hard to design tbh and tend to be niche by their nature.

In terms of it not being fun, it's a choice and we know a lot of people don't enjoy that type of play. So you don't need to take if you don't like it, but we believe it is really important that we have coverage of supportive & teamplay focused keystones for a wide variety champions and needs. There are players who do really enjoy that style of play and we want to be sure they're supported.

Making Annie Q as a skillshot probably will be a nerf if they can't phase thru minion. This mean enemy champion can safely farm behind champion. Thus making your viable stun only for that aoe flam and ultimate which require us to go near.

For Annie on PC having Q targeted doesn't actually give any extra safety. It has the same range as her W.

Skill shots are a lot less of a nerf than you may think. We can give them extra range, you can shoot them over walls and check brush safely. Additionally it's much easier to kite with them. We think gives Annie some more depth and opportunities, but we'll see what folks think in the Alpha when they get their hands on it :D

If you're asking about install size, the answer is no. We'll release more info on that when we're closer to launch.

Yeah but that’s the issue. I don’t have any other choice but to take it. There are already so few options and if I’m playing a non-engage tank support like Braum or Taric that can’t properly utilize aftershock, font of life remains my only option.

I realize that guardian isn’t the best rune to adapt to phone screens but at least give us something that actually benefits the wearer too. Maybe tweak the font of life to also heal the user. I don’t know, I don’t design games, you guys obviously know better than I do but that is my feedback as a player. And I really appreciate the response. Thank you.

This is something we're totally happy to revisit if it's not meeting the goals, either in changing the rune itself or reworking it entirely.

It's a bit premature for me to push the team to redesign it atm, but we're definitely collecting feedback on all the current game content. It's part of the whole point of the alpha!

Actually small edit here. Checked out the rune and it does benefit yourself if you proc the effect, unlike the PC version.
