Patch 3.0a for League of Legends: Wild Rift is here. It doesn’t offer much, but it brings some Champion adjustments, including nerfs for Jayce and Sett. Items such as Seraph’s Embrace and Serrated Dirk have also been tweaked.

According to the developers at Riot Games, Jayce and Sett have both been dominating in Baron Lane, which is why some of their abilities got nerfed.

Jayce has been dominating lately because of his strong mobility and high burst damage. Hence, the movement speed bonus given by his Hextech Capacitor is reduced to 30. Furthermore, his Shock Blast’s Acceleration Gate bonus damage is now reduced to 40%.

The newly added Sett has been pretty powerful not only in Baron Lane but in the jungle as well. This prompted the developers to reduce his effectiveness in the early game a bit. Sett’s passive, Pit Grit, got nerfed in that the right punch bonus physical damage calculation has been reduced to just five per level. In addition, his Knuckle Down ability is not as effective against monsters anymore as its bonus damage is reduced to 100.
