Wild Rift patch 4.3a notes: Vladimir release, Annie rework, more

Terry OhBy Updated:4 Mins Read

Wild Rift patch 4.3a is supplementary patch, providing minor gameplay changes and balance. There’s nothing incredibly game breaking included in this update, since it’s a bigger focus on balancing the preexisting meta rather than pushing it forward.

From champion buffs and nerfs to other gameplay changes, here is the full Wild Rift patch 4.3a notes.

What’s changing in Wild Rift patch 4.3

Vladimir release

According to Riot, Vladimir is set to release on August 17, a solid two weeks after the patch’s initial launch. This seems to be a bit different from Riot’s original release trends, especially considering Hecarim isn’t launching at the same time.

Annie rework

On August 10, Annie is receiving rework to her kit. This rework focuses around controlling Tibbers more effectively, allowing her to utilize the bear as a meat shield. Tibbers’ power was generally increased, and Annie now shields Tibbers and herself, instead of a targeted ally.
