Teamfight Tactics is getting a patch today that focuses on tuning up certain champions and items for a slightly smoother experience.
Karthus and Kayle are two powerful, expensive champions who are getting hit, while a couple of starting units like Elise and Twisted Fate are getting buffed. None of these changes will dramatically change the way we play Teamfight Tactics, but it might give you the chance to try out some new compositions and heroes.
Items are also getting a few changes, including a big buff to Runaan’s Hurricane. Items are a powerful, but unpredictable, part of Teamfight Tactics, so it makes sense that Riot will want to continually adjust their power along with champions.
Make sure you check these notes before you hop into game, lest you accidentally build a less than ideal composition.
For those who want full context, check our Riot’s notes. If you want something to explain how this will change the meta, check out our tl;dr.
