Wild Rift Patch 3.5 Darkin to Dawn: new champions, One For All mode

[Update] Riot Games has released the full information of League of Legends: Wild Rift Patch 3.5, dubbed Darkin to Dawn. The upcoming update will bring new champions, a new game mode, and more in-game updates. Check out more details below.

New Champions: Aatrox, Kayn, and Lillia

New champion Aatrox, the Darkin Blade, brings oblivion to LoL Wild Rift. Aatrox, an ancient being imprisoned in his own sword, consumes the souls of mortals to increase his strength.

Another new champion Kayn, the Shadow Reaper, wields an ancient weapon possessed by a Darkin named Rhaast, and constantly combats it for control. Using his passive, the Darkin Scythe, you determine which side will prevail.

Lastly, Lillia, the Bashful Bloom, emerges from a distant, tranquil forest into the dense jungle of Wild Rift. Do not undervalue her timid appearance. Her speed and damage might spook even the soundest sleeper.

New Game Mode: One For All

One For All will arrive in Wild Rift with Patch 3.5.

In Champion Select, each member of a team will vote for a champion to play, and the champion chosen by a majority vote will be played by the entire team.

The resolution of ties is determined by random selection.

Jungle Changes

In Patch 3.5, Riot Games is bringing some changes to the Jungle role to remove unnecessary complexity while keeping the high depth, impact, and agency the role is known for.

• [NEW] Buff Sharing: After a few minutes of game time, killing the Brambleback or Sentinel will drop a temporary buff that other players can pick up by walking up to the buff circle. Since there will now be double the buffs for your team, the Evolved versions of Red and Blue buffs will be removed.
• [NEW] Conservation: Riot is introducing a new Jungler-specific buff called "Conservation." When you jungle, you'll gain Conservation stacks over time, and killing a large monster will cash in the stacks for gold.
• [UPDATE] Smite: Riot is removing Challenging Smite (or Red Smite) due to a low pick rate amongst Junglers and changing how the Smite Upgrade functions. Starting this patch, Smite will upgrade based on the number of times it's been used versus how many monsters you've killed, so the upgrade time will become more consistent across games. Additionally, both base Smite and upgraded Smite will deal a fixed amount of damage to monsters instead of scaling based on your champion level.
• [ADJUST] Jungle Monsters: Riot is adjusting the general stats and behavior of Jungle Monsters to make clear times faster overall and to let players have an easier time surviving against them, especially in the early game.
• [ADJUST] Rift Herald: Riot is increasing the summoning and charge speeds of Rift Herald so that the value gained from defeating her will be more consistent.

Items and Enchants

• Horizon Focus: Skill shots that hit a champion from a distance will apply stacks to your enemy. Hitting crowd control abilities will grant extra stacks. Gain enough stacks to consume them and deal bonus damage.
• Lord Dominik's Regards: After you're out of combat with other champions for a few seconds, your first attack against a champ will have increased Attack Speed.
• Soulstealer: Through its new passive, Soulflare, Soulstealer will reduce the cooldown on all basic abilities after you takedown enemy champions. You'll also gain extra Ability Power for a few seconds after.
• Phase Rush: Triggers in the same way as before (hitting a champion with three separate attacks or abilities) and still grants Move Speed, but instead of Slow Resist, your current cooldowns will be reduced, and you'll gain Ability Haste for a short period.
• Sudden Impact: Replaces Champion, and when you exit stealth or use a dash, blink, or teleport to deal damage to an enemy champion, you'll gain a bit of Adaptive Penetration.

Quality Of Life Changes

Riot Games will be adding another penalty for players who leave matches. As we all know, playing with an AFK isn't any fun, so we're looking to discourage the behavior even more. Additionally, when you're in a situation where a remake is available, the remake will now automatically trigger, so you can't miss the vote.

You'll also see a new "Avoid List" feature in this patch. In the post-game lobby, you'll be able to add someone from the game to your Avoid List, which will prevent you from being matched on the same team with them until the Avoid List resets at the start of every week.

Riot is adding a new way to view your Skins. When you visit the Collection tab, you'll see the "Skin Set" tab and the "Champion" tab. With these filters, you'll be able to view multiple skins for the same champion or skin line at once—some will even have custom backgrounds.

If you complete an entire Skin Set, you'll earn an exclusive Title and a special effect in champion select to show it off. So for those of you who like to build your collection, you'll have a new way to admire it with pride!

Ranked

Riot Games is adding a new gate for Legendary Queue based on a player's champion Mastery score. It will limit a player to pick only champs for which they have a high enough Mastery score. If players want to play a new champ in Legendary Queue, they'll need to get some experience in another queue first.

Wild Pass

In this patch, Super Villain Jhin brings his nefarious deeds to Level 50 of the Wild Pass. Players can claim their Ascended skin by playing games and collecting it from the Wild Pass Emporium.

Events

Spirit Blossom is coming to Wild Rift. In this event, players will tend to a little town in the spirit world, where completing missions will let them summon a random spirit.

After that, to go into the new year, the game has got a festive little Snowball Fight coming. Test your aim and collect rewards fit for a poro.
