Patch 2.4 brings 19 new or reworked in-game items, Ranked Season 3, champion bans, a brand new Wild Pass, automatic highlights, gold and system adjustments, matchmaking improvements… and of course, the Rogue Sentinel himself, Akshan.

This patch will be live for three weeks before the next one rolls out, as the team will be on a short summer break.

[i][b]NEW
NEW CHAMPION[/b][/i]
AKSHAN, THE ROGUE SENTINEL
Raising an eyebrow in the face of danger, Akshan fights evil with dashing charisma, righteous vengeance, and a conspicuous lack of shirts. He is highly skilled in the art of stealth combat, able to evade the eyes of his enemies and reappear when they least expect him. With a keen sense of justice and a legendary death-reversing weapon, he rights the wrongs of Runeterra’s many scoundrels while living by his own moral code: “Don’t be an ass.”
Akshan will be released on July 28 at 08:01 GMT+8.
NEW FEATURES
RANKED SEASON 3
Ranked Season 3 is here and brings a whole host of updates! If you reach Gold (and win 10 games) this season, Glorious Lulu will be added to your collection! Friendly reminder that there will be a few display issues during the season’s start. If you just want to play when things have settled down, we recommend waiting one day after the season has begun to play Ranked.
[i]Ranked Season 3 began on July 27 at 6:00 GMT+8.
[/i][b]
BANS[/b]
Bans are coming to Ranked! The last three players on both teams simultaneously ban one champion each. We hope starting with three bans will offer more meaningful, competitive, and healthy drafting experiences for players without negatively impacting champion diversity in the game. Our long-term goal is to increase the ban slots to five per team. We will monitor the performance of three bans closely as we plan for five bans in a future patch.
Bans will be available in Ranked on July 29 at 14:00 GMT+8.
[b]
PROMOTION MATCHES REMOVED[/b]
As mentioned in our 2.4 Ranked Updates, we will be removing Promotion Matches from Ranked play. We believe the interruption to Wild Rift’s ranking experience caused by Promotion Matches currently outweighs the benefits they were meant to provide. Instead of transitioning to a Promotion Match after winning the last match of their current rank, players will immediately move up into the next rank. We will continue to monitor Ranked after their removal to confirm.
Promotion Matches will be removed on July 27 08:01 GMT+8.
WILD PASS S2
The Wild Pass returns for its second outing! We’ve made a few upgrades from the previous version:
Overall, we’re increasing the amount of Blue Motes, Poro Coins and Poro Energy you get from purchasing the pass. For example, this time around, you can earn enough Blue Motes for a full champion.We’re increasing the amount of free rewards you’ll get while leveling up.We’re enabling you to gift the pass to other players on your friends list.And despite these buffs, the price isn’t changing.From now on, the Wild Pass will be a permanent feature in the game, with no more downtime between each new pass. So get out there and Hexplore the Rift with Teemo!
Wild Pass S2 will be available on July 30 at 08:01 GMT+8.

HIGHLIGHTS[/b]
Highlights are coming in Patch 2.4! If you turn on Highlights recording in your settings, we’ll record your best moments—from multi-kills to dragon steals. These will record your screen as you play, so it will capture your inputs in the high moments as well. You can review and save them to your phone on the end-of-game stats screen. Turning on Highlights Recording may impact your battery usage and performance.
Highlights will be available on July 27 at 08:01 GMT+8.
[b]
[/b]SPECTATOR AND REPLAY
We’ve added some new ways to spectate matches or replay your own! You can now toggle between Fog of War for the red and/or blue side to understand both teams' vision on the map. In addition, we’ve created a new HUD that allows for better viewing of teamfights as they are happening. There is now a teamfight HUD, as well as a minimalistic “no HUD” point of view that can be accessed in spectator mode.
The new spectator and replay features will be available on July 27 at 08:01 GMT+8.
[b]
[/b]END-OF-GAME SCREEN
We’re adding progression systems to the end-of-game screen so players can have a better understanding of their progress after each game, and know when they have rewards to claim! For 2.4, we’ll be featuring progress towards Wild Pass, daily, and challenge missions. We’re planning on adding more systems to this page over time, like event progression.
The updated EoG screen will be available on July 27 at 08:01 GMT+8.
[b]
SHARE SCREEN[/b]
We’ve added the ability to share your Wild Rift achievements to your phone’s OS share drawer for easier access to all your favorite apps and social networks. Tapping the icon will open up the OS share drawer from which you can select any app that you want to post to!
The share screen update will be available on July 27.
