Irelia, the Blade Dancer
Riven, the Exile
Riven is a fighter champion with incredible mobility and play potential. Her skills “Broken Wings” and “Valor” allow her to reposition herself between fights while her “Ki Burst” will stun enemies for a brief period of time.

Players can have up to 20 close friends in the game. Players can invite friends through one of the following titles;
Friend Subscriptions
You can now subscribe to three of your friends and get notified whenever they are online or have recently finished a match.
ARAM Returns
All Random All Mid mode has returned for another round of testing. The game mode will be live from June until July 2021.
Champ Select
In Ranked champion select, players can switch their draft order to accommodate comfort picks and counter-picking better.
Network Tools
Players can now check their internet connection before playing the game.
This new feature allows the app to automatically switch between wifi or data connection when ensuring a stable gameplay experience.
Runes System Changes
The rune system in Wild Rift Patch 2.3 will undergo massive changes, replacing some of the runes while also making slight balance changes to the remainder. Riot Games’ goal is to make every rune usable with clear strengths and weaknesses. You can find a complete rundown of the Rune System changes here.
All accessories will be released throughout the patch.
The new event tasks platers into completing missions featuring Riven and Irelia, and unlock one of them for free. The Broken Blades event kicks off on June 3 at 1:01 AM (UTC).
The devs noticed Akali’s overwhelming early game presence. However, due to her high skill ceiling, most players can’t maximize her potential. Akali will receive massive tweaks to make her easier to play.
Base Stats

2nd Skill: Twilight Shroud

Cammile’s Hookshot can now automatically target terrains to help her focus more on engaging champions rather than looking for walls to swing by.

Darius’ damage when in full stacks of Noxian Might will be reduced on earlier levels and gradually increase.
Passive: Noxian Might
Attack Damage gained at Full Stacks: 29/43/57/71/85/99/113/127/141/155/169/183/197/211/225 → 22/30/38/46/58/70/82/94/112/130/148/166/186/206/226
The devs felt they over buffed Diana way too much. She will receive a slight nerf to prevent her from snowballing too early.
