Wild Rift patch 2.2a notes: Rammus release, Diana & Pantheon buffs

Wild Rift patch 2.2a is here, but don’t get fooled by the letter in the name because it’s still a big patch. Rammus is finally getting released, while big changes are coming to Diana, Galio, Pantheon, and more.

The Wild Rift content cycle is scaling up with the game’s global launch, given the League of Legends mobile MOBA is now live in the Americas and almost every country.

Patch 2.2a is an expansion on the big Wild Rift patch 2.2, which introduced a ton of new features into the game, including the now-permanent Position Preference role selection for ranked. Here’s what’s coming in the mid-cycle update.

What’s coming in Wild Rift patch 2.2a?

Rammus finally added to Wild Rift

It’s been a long time in the pipeline since being revealed at the start of 2021, but Rammus is finally being added to Wild Rift.

The Armordillo underwent some reworks before his release on Wild Rift. Some of those changes, including a big upgrade to his ultimate, were also shipped to League of Legends on PC.

Big overhauls to Diana, Galio, Pantheon

Diana, Galio, and Pantheon are the big three targets for Wild Rift patch 2.2a. Diana and Pantheon have been underperforming, while Galio crashed onto the Wild Rift scene with a bit too much power.

Diana is getting buffs to all of her abilities, with a big focus on her cooldowns in the late game, as well as her base stats. The bonus attack speed on her Lunar Rush has been moved to her passive to “help her survive the laning phase and push her advantage when she gets ahead.”

Pantheon’s rework in patch 2.2 landed successfully, according to Riot, but they wanted to add a bit more damage into his Comet Spear, especially early. Galio, on the other hand, had a bit too much damage, so Riot have brought it back. They also shortened his Justice Punch range.

Blitzcrank, Leona, and Tristana are also receiving buffs, while Alistar, Corki, Dr. Mundo, Shyvana, and vi are being nerfed.
