We’ve got the patch notes for Teamfight Tactics' 9.15 update that should be released on Wednesday, July 31st, 2019! This is going to be a pretty big patch with a lot of big changes going live. We’re seeing additional gold added to win/loss streaks, player damage is being reduced, and a bunch of changes to various classes/origins. Item wise, it looks like Locket of the Iron Solari is getting a big change and the shield is now temporary instead of permanent. Ionic Spark, Hush, and Statikk Shiv are all seeing a nerf. There’s a bunch more stuff, check out the rest below!
We’re making win and loss streaks more beneficial.
Class Breakpoints
We’ve added new breakpoints to a few Classes. For…reasons, just don’t worry about it ok?
Player Damage
We’re lowering the damage players take from minions and certain champion tier and star levels.
Carousel Stage
We nerfed the Assassins in 9.14b, but we still want them to be functional in other comps (Example Wild Rengar should be viable). So, we’re putting some power into their abilities to avoid synergizing their new power with the Assassin trait bonus. We’ve also made some systemic changes to how Assassins move in combat, and how they acquire their targets. This should add deeper counter-play to Assassin positioning.
Demon is proving a little on the strong side, so we’re making adjustments to keep them in check.
Dragons being 100% magic immune really shut down a lot of options to fight them. We’re removing that, and giving them a few minor defenses back to compensate.
We pulled some of the power out of the Golem, but we still think they should be powerful casters that can also fit into other comps, so we are putting some power back into their abilities.
Guardians are finding a small niche, but the cost of running one early is a bit much. So we’re buffing their trait bonus, and letting the Guardian’s be a bit tankier as solo units.
Knights are currently a fine two-piece front line at the start, but then immediately fall off at four and six pieces. So, we’re going to improve the Knight fantasy by having Knights protect your whole team. Little strikes won’t punch through these defenses!
The old Ninja bonus had some pretty big scaling issues, especially combined with the Assassin bonus. We want one Ninja on your team to be an attractive option, and if you can get all four Ninjas then they really turn on as auto-attackers and ability casters.
Noble should be a very powerful buff when you get it, but the lack of magic resistance proved that wasn’t the case, so we’re adding magic resistance to the trait. We’re also changing the attack speed and damage of many nobles so they can use their buff better, but maintain their DPS.
Pirate was likely overnerfed for fear of what it could do to economy builds. We’re making it less likely to get those boots/fish bones, and adjusting some of the champions.
We’re reimagining the Void this patch. These are monsters that, in force, can tear through your defenses you worked so hard to set up. Be afraid of the Void!
Yordles are in a pretty good spot, but it can feel really bad when the dodge doesn’t work on things it probably should. We’re making a small adjustment, and improving the three-piece so you’re able to throw Yordles into many other comps.
There’s a few units that we’re adjusting apart from their traits: We’re making it more likely for Blitzcrank to get a 2nd grab off. Karthus needs to be just a little scarier. Yasuo isn’t quite pulling off the solo kill stunts he should be as a five-cost unit, so we’re buffing him a bit. Last but not least, Ashe & Kindred aren’t pulling their weight, so we’re giving them more damage.
Locket has been redesigned. It still provides valuable shields for the start of combat, but is much less about permanent health.
