Open beta for League of Legends: Wild Rift started in March, so users picked up Moba for a spin to see how the competition stood. But for a live service game like this, development never stops, so the latest patch drops today.
Version 2.2C brings with it a number of new additions, including a new champion, eight new skins, some new accessories, some new events, and tons of champion balance patches. Not all of these will be available at once, but you can expect this material to be made by the end of this month.
