Patch 14.17 is the second official Teamfight Tactics update since the launch of Magic n’ Mayhem, featuring nerfs and buffs from the balance team as the devs try to decrease the gap between Reroll and four-cost carry comps.
Heading into the first Magic n’ Mayhem Tactician Cup tournament, the TFT balance team dropped the 14.16 B-patch in an attempt to tone down overpowered traits and champions without balance thrashing the meta. But the B-patch was only the beginning.
Patch 14.17 is the first of “two big patches,” according to game design director Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer from the Patch Rundown. The goals were to increase playability for various traits and champions while adjusting Augments and items. Size-wise, Patch 14.17 is large, so don’t sleep on these changes before diving back into the meta when the update releases on Aug. 28. Here are all the changes you can expect from TFT Set 12 Patch 14.17.
