Teamfight Tactics Inkborn Fables Set 11 is set to undergo significant balance changes in the 14.9 update. Here are the upcoming TFT patch 14.9 notes!
The Teamfight Tactics (TFT) patch 14.8 and 14.8b cycle saw the rise of four-cost carries and frontlines dominating the meta. Apart from a little bit of Kindred/Gnar reroll mixed in, the aim of bringing four-costs to the forefront of TFT was largely successful.
However, it was too successful in that most reroll compositions were eliminated. Additionally, three-star four-costs became a too commonly achieved win condition.
The upcoming patch aims to reduce the rate at which players hit three-star four-costs and also introduce a plethora of new artifact and support items into the mix. Of course, there are other relevant balance changes aimed towards a healthier game state.
Here are the TFT patch notes for patch 14.9, releasing May 1, at approximately 5 or 6 a.m. PT.
