Teamfight Tactics patch 9.23 change list

Ranked is back!

By Austen Goslin
Riot Games

The first big patch for Teamfight Tactics set 2 is here and it’s bringing plenty of changes with it. Along with balance updates for certain Rise of the Elements units, and traits, this patch also has the new True Damage-themed Little Legends.

One of the biggest changes coming with this patch is a buff to the three-star versions of certain Tier 2 and Tier 3 units. Champions like Jax, Leblanc Neeko, Ezreal, and Aatrox are all getting big damage increases to go along with their three-star upgrades. According to Riot the idea behind this is to reward players for their investment, and make sure that these difficult-to-find upgrades feel like satisfyingly powerful.

This patch will also re-enabled TFT’s ranked mode, which was originally turned off while Riot tried to get the balance right for Set 2. First of all, every single player will be reset to Iron to start the season. You won’t lose any LP for your first five TFT matches, and you won’t lose any for placing fourth or better in a game, which should make climbing at higher ranks a little bit easier.

You can find all the changes that arrived with this Teamfight Tactics patch below. If you want to see the changes that came to the rest of League of Legends you can check out the preseason patch notes.
