Destroyer, that he’s meant to be.

Wild Rift Patch 5.0 Preview Update: Gameplay changes

• Top-laners often feel isolated from the rest of the map and are locked into their one-on-one duels. To improve their situation, we’ve added an Alcove to the Lane. This additional playground gives them the possibility to avoid vision and coordinate with the jungler on new gank strategies.
• The Heart Steel item has been a big hit with the ARAM mode and will be added in the Rift as well.
• Players will now be able to work with a massive Health Pool during the game, as some new items like Titanic Hydra, Spear of Shojin and some older existing items will also be reworked.
• Laning will become easier and Supporting teammates can be done at free will from now, as some periodic siege minions will be replaced with weaker ones.
• There will be changes on the Rift Herald, who will now go to the enemy turret directly in the distance. This update will make things straightforward and will also be highlighted in the mini-map.

More will be broken down later, as a part of the detailed Patch notes, so please look out for more information.

Wild Rift Patch 5.0 Preview Update: New Game Modes

• Some NPCs will be added to Arena game mode, and now players will be presented with the opportunity to battle an AI host, which means one can be always in action during byes.
