PATCH 5.0b
INTRODUCTION Patch & Meta
Each patch brings its own dynamic into the meta, and the previous ones are no exception with their many new products. We saw the arrival of a new champion, Syndra, as well as the redesign of Aurelion Sol. Items like the Spear of Shojin,Steelheart and Titanic Hydra also appeared, shaking up the usual build. That's not all: the Baron's Path has been enriched with the addition of an alcove and the Invigorating Fruits have been repositioned behind the turret, adding even more depth and tactics to explore, drastically changing our tierlist in the process.
The current meta is essentially based on champions bruiser-tank on the path of the Baron (Jax, Fiora, Ornn, Aatrox). In the jungle, we also find bruisers (Lee Sin, Hecarim, Riven, Vi) but also some assassins (Kayn,Evelynn, Kha'zix). Beyond that,Steelheart and Titanic Hydra had the effect of shaking up the meta, modifying the choices of the baron's path, the jungle and the dragon's path for supports.Apart from a few exceptions of high damage mage champions, the current meta is dominated by bruiser and tank type champions.
Now let's find out the main changes in patch 5.0b and let's observe what could result from this on the future meta with the arrival of Talon.
CHAMPION CHANGES
AURELION SOL
Cosmic creator you can its additional damage on Breath of Light Decrease, going from 3% to 2,5% of the target's maximum HP every 100 stardust.
Very impactful at the start and middle of the game.
The Execution Threshold Black hole is also reduced, going from 5% + 2.6% to 5% + 2,1% every 100 stardust.
Black hole sees its damage per second increased from 20/27.5/35/42.5 + 25% of your power to 20/27.5/35/42.5 + 15% of your power
Thanks to its early stats, Aurelion did too much damage quickly. These nerfs will make a big difference in the late game whether on tanks or neutral objectives (nashor, dragon, etc.). To see what this will change in our ranked and its positioning on the tierlist.
DR.MUNDO
Defibrillator sees his explosion damage decreased from 20/40/60/80 + 7% to 20/40/60/80 + 5% of your bonus HP
Contusion sees his basic attack damage increased from 5/20/35/50 + 7% to 5/20/35/50 + 5% of your bonus HP
The release of the last items made Mundo very strong, even too strong. He was a must ban on the Baron's path due to his tankiness and his regeneration, but above all because he did too much damage. A legitimate nerf but insufficient from our point of view because of its current new build. If you don't know whoban in your ranked, Mundo will be a very good choice.
GRAGAS
Drunken rage sees his basic attack damage increased from 20/60/100/140 +75% to 20/60/100/140 + 90% of your power
Can shot sees his damage increased, from 80/145/210/275 + 70% to 80/145/210/275 + 80% of your power
Explosive barrel sees his damage increased, from 200/300/400 + 70% to 200/300/400 + 80% of your power
These stat buffs will allow him to better cope in the jungle in order to provide help to his team and reach the objectives more quickly. Outside the jungle, this buff will give him additional damage on the baron or middle lane, which is not negligible. A very good pick for your ranked.
RENEKTON
Dominion Bonus HP are increased, going from: 300/525/750 to 300/575/850
Its damage per second is also increased, going from 70/110/150 + 20% of your power to 70/120/170 + 20% of your power
Renekton struggled a bit in the mid and late game. These stat buffs on his ultimate should help him in the mid/late game to better manage 1v1s, but especially Team Fights and objectives. We could see him more often on the rift.
SAMIRA
Infernal Trigger you can say movement speed reduction diminished, going from: 40% to 30%
Very interesting buff that could boost her to the top of the tier list for this patch.
Its damage per shot increases from: 5/15/25 + 55% of your attack damage to 5/20/35 + 60% of your attack damage
Samira really struggles against tanks. These buffs stats on the ultimate should allow him to lower the health point bars of tanks with more ease. But also to assassinate the most fragile champions, which risks making it very powerful in this meta.
URGOT
The damage of Purifying flames increases, going from 50/60/70/80% of your attack damage + 2/3/4/5% of the target's max HP to 50/65/80/95% of your attack damage + 2/3.5/5/6.5% of the target's max HP (increase at levels 1/5/9/13)
We risk seeing him higher in our tier list thanks to this buff.
The recovery time is reduced from 15/10/5/2.5 seconds per leg to 15/8/4/2 sec per leg.
The reduced movement speed Gehenna goes from 125 at all levels to 125/110/95/80.
This will make Urgot more comfortable when traveling in a mid and late game.
These different stat buffs on Urgot are very interesting and will make him become the anti-tank par excellence on the baron path. Which will make Urgot much more dangerous at the end of the game. Maybe even become a big Mundo counter.
ITEMS CHANGES
CROWN OF THE BROKEN QUEEN
The Broken Queen's Crown protects mages excessively. Riot therefore modifies the damage reduction effect. Players will now have to make more thoughtful choices before positioning themselves during team fights.
Rampart: Damage reduction: 70% has 50%
The crown was heavily used on most mage champions. This made them much more complicated to kill while allowing them to burst their enemies. A well-deserved nerf to the item that may change the order of certain builds.
CONCLUSION
These few changes could offer a little more diversity in the rift. Notably for Urgot who we could see again in the path of the baron, Gragas in the jungle or even Katarina who shouldAlso integrate among the different choices in mid lane, without changing the meta. Don't hesitate to take a look at our tier list to see the changes to the champion rankings.

The latest edition of The Wild Circuit : Rift Legends took place from October 5 to December 10, 2023 and was broadcast live on Twitch by different streamers: LaFailleSauvage French-speaking side and iTzSTU4RT English-speaking side.
We got to see the team WLGaming, composed of Patterson, Andreszed, Vejos, Mumu, Heste, and Lonely Kid, once again shine in this latest edition for a back-to-back, thus winning seasons 2 and 3 consecutively. They had also previously participated in the first season. It is also important to note thatWLGaming has been very dominant during the last two editions, demonstrating their superiority over other teams. We wonder if they will be able to repeat this feat in 2024.
Their victory last season was the result of fierce competition, with high-level matches.
ARENA MODE STREAMERS TOURNAMENT ON LFS
L'Arène des Sauvages is a community event organized by LaFailleSauvage in Arena mode. It brought together several Wild Rift streamers: Kokotti, Klemtv, Heliedan, Polaris, Monever, shadowjcfr, Trydhearth, RedollTV, Amnesia and leva944, accompanied by members of their communities. The event was well received with Alan and Nibikun to the cast, giving viewers the opportunity to have fun while watching their favorite streamers compete. A touch of fun was added with a first troll game, where the streamers were in the same voice as their opponents, thus promoting the taunt and the good atmosphere.
The final was particularly intense, pitting teams from Redoll, Trydhearth, Kokotti et Monever, and it was ultimately the latter's team which won this edition of the Arène des Sauvages of which you can find the replay HERE.
