Wild Rift Patch 3.4a Notes: Yasuo Buffs, Karma Nerfs

Wild Rift Patch 3.4a aims to balance the game by reducing the impact of the support role, which had been strengthened by the introduction of gold support items. From Yasuo buffs to major nerfs on support gold items, these changes fix some of the broken structures currently in the game. Let's see what else is in the patch notes.

Wild Rift Patch 3.4a Release Date

Patch 3.4a notes went live on September 28, two weeks after the release of Wild Rift Patch 3.4. While the new Wild Rift patch helps the meta overall, this patch doesn't include much new content.

Wild Rift Patch 3.4a Patch Notes

Support Items Nerfed

One of the biggest balance changes in Patch 3.4a is that both Relic Shield and Spectral Sickle are getting nerfed.

Gwen and Karma Take Another Nerf

Despite already being quite strong, Wild Rift's Gwen is getting some buffs that add more damage to her kit. Riot is slightly nerfing her jungle clear damage, but increasing the amount of damage she deals to everything else.
