Wild Rift Patch 3.4a: Anniversary Event, Ranked Season 7 Opening and More
The League of Legends: Wild Rift Patch 3.4a full notes and updates have been revealed by Riot Games. The update features a plethora of new and exciting content arriving soon. This patch update also includes the anniversary update for the game titled Power Spike Party as well as the grand opening for Ranked Season 7. A few champion and gameplay changes will also be implemented in the Wild Rift Patch 3.4a update including a new restriction on the newly introduced support items. The Legendary Queue will also receive massive changes for which champion players can lock in while playing the competitive game mode.
Wild Rift Ranked Season 7
The upcoming Wild Rift Ranked Season 7 will officially start on 13th October at 12:01 AM (UTC). The new exclusive skin reward for the next season is the Glorious Crimson Draven skin which can only be acquired by progressing through the season rewards.
Legendary Queue Changes
As the new competitive season opens, the Legendary Queue game mode will also be receiving a new update.
At launch, the champion score required will be very low (just a few games played)
Riot Games intends to tune the system but didn’t want to be too restrictive right out of the gate
You’ll always have access to EVERY champion you have enough mastery in, regardless of the role you’re assigned
Riot Games implemented protection to make sure players aren’t forced to play off-role picks by the system
If you’re assigned to a role and have less than three champions available to pick who are tagged for that role with enough mastery, the system will stretch
You’ll be allowed to play your highest available mastery champions in that role
This is implemented so if for example an ADC (Attack Damage Carry) main is autofilled in the jungle, the developers want to make sure players wouldn’t be forced to play champions outside their role as a jungle but would instead have something more suitable to play.
At the start of the season, players will have their rank reset to Commander IV. However, MMR (Matchmaking Rating) will not be reset. This means players will still be matched with players of the same skill level as them.
New Events
Power Spike Party
This event will serve as the anniversary special for Wild Rift and is scheduled to kick off on 12th October at 12:01 AM (UTC). More information about the event will be revealed at a later date.

Extra Bits
Fixed some interactions where decaying shields could gain negative values, causing players who died with negative shield values in some cases to not give kill credit properly to the killer (or kill rewards). There may still be some rare cases of loss of kill credit which will be fixed in Patch 3.5, but for now, this temporary fix should cover most negative shield issues.
