Wild Rift has seen some impressive new additions in the past few weeks such as the Tag Duel game mode and the addition of Vladimir.

While they're welcome additions, the devs - in their usual fashion - will need to implement balance changes to keep the meta balanced and players happy. This will be added in the next update, patch 4.3b. Riot has revealed a complete list of everything in it.

Fortunately for many, patch 4.3b will overall be a positive update. The patch will largely introduce buffs to champions and items. Pyke, Miss Fortune, and Jayce will benefit hugely from the improvements to their skills and abilities.

On the other hand, only one item will be nerfed: Inspiration: Glacial Augment.

If you're looking to improve in Wild Rift, then you can start with what the pro players usually use: finger sleeves . They help reduce sweat and make sure your fingers stay comfortable throughout matches.

Inspiration: Pathfinder and Domination: Shield Bash were adjusted.
