League of Legends: Wild Rift – Everything you need to know about mobile LoL

By Kamran Zia -

Months after rumors of a League of Legends mobile game surfaced, Riot Games made it official during its ten year anniversary event. However, League of Legends: Wild Rift is an entirely new game, rather than just a mobile port of the world’s most popular game. 

So what is this new mobile MOBA? Keep reading for everything you need to know about League of Legends: Wild Rift!

What is League of Legends: Wild Rift?

League of Legends Wild rift featured

League of Legends: Wild Rift is a new mobile reimagining of the world’s most popular game, League of Legends. Riot Games has completely rebuilt Summoners Rift for mobile devices, and redesigned many of the game’s most popular champions and skins.

Gameplay is still 5v5 MOBA action, but with a unique mobile spin. It’s Riot Games’ first excursion into the mobile space, but given the company’s ties to mobile gaming powerhouse Tencent Gaming, expect a level of polish greater than its competitors on mobile platforms.

How much does it cost?

Like the game it’s based on, Wild Rift will be completely free-to-play, with in-app purchases for skins and other cosmetic content. 

What is the League of Legends: Wild Rift release date?

The League of Legends: Wild Rift alpha and beta will begin later this year, starting in China. In 2020 the game will begin to release region by region, with a full global rollout on mobile planned before the end of the year. The console edition will come some time after that.

You can pre-register now on the Google Play Store, or on the official website.

How do you play Wild Rift?

Wild Rift features the same ability system as LoL PC, but with a mobile control layout. Like many other mobile MOBA titles, this means a dual control stick scheme, with the left stick for moving your character and the right stick for aiming your abilities.

Many champion skills have been adjusted to be easier to control on touch screens. For example, Ashe’s ultimate Enchanted Crystal Arrow can be aimed, rather than flying in a straight line. Long range skill shots also zoom out the camera to make them easier to land on off-screen enemies.

As a whole, gameplay has also been accelerated to accommodate mobile play. Instead of the 25-50 minute matches found in LoL PC, Wild Rift will have 15-18 minutes matches. It’s possible that ARAM-style game modes will further reduce this, as well.

What champions are available at launch?

At launch, 40 champions will be available in Wild Rift. These include most classic champions like Annie, Malphite, and Nasus, as well as (relatively) later releases like Yasuo and Camille. Every champ has been completely redesigned and rebuilt from scratch, so not all current skins will be available at launch.

Is League of Legends: Wild Rift cross-platform?

League of Legends: Wild Rift will be available for mobile and consoles, but cross-play will not be offered. Cross-play with League of Legends PC is also out of the question, as they are completely separate games.

However, certain events will cross over between the two games, and cross-play may be offered in the future between mobile and consoles.

What phones are compatible with Wild Rift?

Riot Games has committed to making its keystone mobile title playable on a wide variety of devices. For Android, this means devices roughly equivalent to the Samsung A7, or devices with the following specs or higher: 1GB RAM, Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, Adreno 306 GPU. On iOS, it should run on anything newer than the iPhone 5s.

If this holds true, virtually any device released within the last five years will be able to play Wild Rift.

Will progress and champions from League PC transfer to Wild Rift?

No. Although you can connect the two accounts, progress in the two games is separate. However, veteran League of Legends players can earn some special rewards for the years they’ve spent playing the game. Details are still pending on what those rewards actually are.

That’s it for everything you need to know about Riot Games’ first mobile game! Are you excited to hop onto the Wild Rift? Let us know in the comments below!

Woman clawed by zoo jaguar while trying to take selfie, learns valuable lesson

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
