Riot has revealed their plans to rework two fan-favorite champions, Sona and Ziggs, in the upcoming patch 4.4 update for Wild Rift.
In Wild Rift patch 4.4, Riot will be giving some much-needed attention to two veteran champions of the game - Sona and Ziggs.
This announcement may not come as a surprise to some as these names have been somewhat absent in both ranked and casual modes. It's a common sentiment shared amongst players that their abilities can be significantly improved upon.
In response to this, the only solution appears to be a complete rework of the champions in question. Fortunately, that is exactly what players will be seeing in the upcoming Wild Rift update. It is expected that these two changes will be gradually released throughout patch 4.4.
Sona And Ziggs To Be Reworked In Wild Rift Patch 4.4
Sona has been recognized as a support champion who has been underperforming over the previous patches. In her upcoming rework, Riot will be looking to provide her with "more playmaking potential".
The first move will be to improve her passive. In addition to empowering her next attack with a special attack after casting three spells, Sona will also stun the target.
The second move will be to fine-tune her Ultimate. The rework will allow her Ultimate to stun enemies for a few seconds, hit in a circle, and move slowly toward a targeted position. While it's activated, Sona's Ult will stun and damage any enemies it touches.
Altogether, these changes will allow Sona to split up enemy teams and give her the necessary utility and power for the Dragon Lane.
Riot hopes to make Ziggs more explosive after his rework in patch 4.4. For starters, his passive will be altered to be able to target turrets.
In addition to this, Ziggs' Ultimate will become easier to auto-aim. With this, players will be able to deploy the Mega Inferno Bomb more accurately.
Ultimately, players can expect these changes to enable this powerful Yordle to provide more utility as a control mage in the mid-lane or even as a support.
