Wild Rift patch 2.4a: Master Yi and Jax will tear up solo queue
All you’ll hear is wuju, wuju, thud, thud, thud.
After the introduction of game-changing items inpatch 2.4 that made crit AD carriesand bruisers more viable, League of Legends: Wild Rift patch 2.4a is here to balance and reel in some of that power.
Jax and Master Yi however, are on the other side of the spectrum. According to Riot Games, Master YI required buffs to empower his early skirmishes and scale (harder) into the late game.
Meanwhile, buffs to Jax are meant to make him a better Baron laner in a meta that’s dominated by Fiora, Renekton, and Camille.
Base stats
(3) Wuju Style
(Ult) Highlander
Traditionally on League of Legends PC, Master Yi is a champion that’s used to climb low ELO ranks. Sure he isn’t the best ganker in town, but even if his laners feed, Master Yi grows stronger as he farms up and counters his opponents’ jungle.
Alpha Strike, with its low cooldown, effectively makes him an assassin. He’s the best at cleaning up botched team fights and hard carrying in the late game, and this same story plays out in Wild Rift.
Master Yi’s bonus damage to monsters on Alpha Strike went up by 25 at all ranks, increasing the speed of his clear. More armor per level also means he’ll be healthier in the jungle.
Most significantly, the true damage on Wuju Style increased by 16 at max level, while the bonus movement speed from Highlander increased by 10% at all ranks, making him three times better a champion than he was before.
SinceFizz junglegot hit hard this same Wild Rift patch 2.4a, it’s time to pack it up and jump on the Master Yi train, especially if you want to blaze through the chaos at lower ranks.
(P) Relentless Assault
(3) Counter Strike
You might need to whip out your calculator for this one. Jax’s base bonus attack speed went down by 10%, and so did the bonus attack speed per Relentless Assault stack.
However, instead of one stack, Jax now gains two stacks of Relentless Assault when attacking, and his max stacks increased from eight to 10. This means that Jax is not only stacking at twice the speed, you’re also getting two additional stacks on top of that.
“I actually think Jax might end up being an absolute nightmare in the Baron lane,” said Wild Rift shoutcaster and content creatorCeirnan “Excoundrel” Lowe in his patch breakdown video. “Especially because of how quickly he can potentially take down turrets.”
What’s more, when Counter Strike is active, he’s going to be tankier due to the reduced 25% incoming damage. Watch out, Baron laners!
