In League of Legends: Wild Rift the patch 2.0 was released in January. We reveal which champs you should definitely play right now because they are simply too strong.
What is this about? With patch 2.0 there were some balance changes and 5 new Yordle champions were released, which were gradually unlocked. Meanwhile, they are all here and some of them are really strong.
In this article, we present 5 champions who are currently so strong that they actually need to be nerfed. But until that happens, you should take advantage of them. We made our selections based on personal experience and current discussions in the community.
Teemo, by the way, is not one of these strong champions because he disappoints many.
1. Kennen
Kennen is a top laner and belongs to the champions that were newly released. He is particularly strong in the laning phase, where he can outplay almost all other champions.
Kennen benefits from his great range and the resulting constant damage he deals to other top laners. Because most of them are melee champions like Darius, Olaf, Garen, or Malphite. They can do nothing against the damage and thus lose the laning phase.
In team fights, he offers a lot of damage and CC with his ultimate ability, which also keeps him relevant in the endgame.
To fully utilize Kennen’s strength, you should control your opponent in the early game and either secure kills or roam to the mid lane to create an advantage.
2. Alistar
If you’re looking for a good supporter right now, you should rely on Alistar. The champion is a machine when it comes to crowd control and dominates the bot lane together with the right AD carry.
The combo of Headbutt to knock back the opponent and Pulverize to then slam them into the air is so strong that your carry basically just has to secure the guaranteed kill.
Alistar’s biggest weakness is level 1. Here you have to be careful because you can’t use your combo from both abilities yet. However, the longer the laning phase goes on, the stronger you will become with him.
In later team fights, he primarily takes on the role of tank and ensures that the enemy AD carry cannot shoot your group in peace.
3. Draven
Draven was initially regarded as a rather weak champion in many tier lists at release. However, it is now clear that especially the damage in the early game makes Draven dangerous.
With his spinning axes, he is extremely strong, but also requires that you can control him well on the smartphone. Because unlike, for example, with Jinx or Ashe, you have to stay constantly in motion and run to the right locations with Draven.
Draven works excellently with Alistar as support. Because he also has a short CC to throw enemies aside and at the same time has burst damage to respond to Alistar’s CC.
4. Amumu
Amumu is also a champion who has been underestimated for a long time. The great strength of the jungler lies primarily in team fights. Through the AoE stun of the ultimate and the constant damage from the tears, Amumu excels here.
A big advantage of the champion is the simple skills kit. Amumu is easy to play and therefore also a good choice for beginners.
A downside of Amumu is that other junglers can kill neutral monsters a bit faster and can also execute the first ganks before level 5.
With Amumu, however, a gank is only worthwhile with the ultimate.
5. Olaf
Olaf is the perfect top laner to dominate a match alone. Because if you win your lane and secure a kill or two, you can then quickly influence the entire game from there.
With his abilities, he can quickly defeat minions and keep enemies at bay with his axe throw “Undertow”. Especially other melee champions have trouble with Olaf.
If you dominate the early game, you can go to other lanes and help them with effective ganks as well. Because if you hit with Undertow and slow the opponent, a second hit is almost guaranteed.
Olaf only has problems with Kennen in the early game.
If you also like to venture into the jungle, you can also rely on Olaf there. He performs well there and is one of the strongest junglers in the game.
If you want to win your matches in Wild Rift, you should rely on one of these 5 characters. However, you should avoid these champs:
