Wild Rift mid-patch 1.1 update nerfs Smite for laners while buffing Varus and Akali

Wild Rift mid patches aren’t known to be all that big, but it seems that there will be many changes for version 1.1.

Mid-patch 1.1 will be looking to buff Wild Rift’s Akali, Varus, and Evelyn while nerfing Jhin, Ezreal, Amumu, Blitzcrank, and Gragas.

The Gragas and Ezreal nerf will indeed be a blessing for the Wild Rift players. These two Champions have had the highest win rate and are oppressive to play against during both the laning phase and late-game team fights.

Moreover, the summoner spell, Smite, will be getting a nerf. However, the nerf targets laners who abuse this spell often in the game. It will not be affecting jungle Champions in the slightest.

For a detailed view of the Wild Rift mid patch 1.1 updates, players can check out the notes on the official website. But for a brief overview, here are the major highlights.
