Riot has announced new tank items coming to Wild Rift in patch 4.1.
We have seen massive changes in every major Wild Rift patch. Not only that, but Riot also releases new items and mechanics alongside these changes. And the upcoming patch, 4.1, is no exception.
Usually, Riot only spends one major patch reworking or fixing a class. For example, in patch 3.5, Riot reworked the jungle. Firstly they removed challenging smite, as no one picked it over chilling smite. Moreover, they added a new buff-sharing mechanic where after a certain period of a match, if a jungle kills either blue or red buff, they can share that buff with one of their teammates. Alongside these changes, Riot added many other quality-of-life improvements to the jungle.
And in the last patch 4.0, Riot reworked the most underwhelming class, tanks. Before, tanks weren’t providing enough value to the team. Juggaurnauts and bruisers had more utilities than tanks. Overall, they were very unpopular. Because of it, Riot added many new tank items and reworks to the game.
Though most of the changes were well-liked, tanks weren’t still on par with some other classes. Because of it, Riot announced in their patch 4.1 preview video that they would add new tank items to Wild Rift.
