Teamfight Tactics patch 11.2 notes – Fates: Festival of Beasts mid-set update changes

The next Teamfight Tactics patch brings the game's latest mid-set update, Fates: Festival of Beasts

Teamfight Tactics 

If you’re a Teamfight Tactics fan, you’ll probably have heard the multiplayer game’s next mid-set update is due to drop in a couple weeks’ time. Called Teamfight Tactics: Fates – Festival of Beasts, the event is set to swap in and out champions and traits (with two champs making their TFT debuts), and bring customisation options, a game pass, and – of course – a brand-new season of ranked. The patch has now hit the PBE for a round of testing, so it’s time to take a look at what’s in store.

As you can imagine, there are a raft of balance changes on the way for TFT patch 11.2. Up on the testing grounds right now are tweaks to a range of the autobattler’s champions, such as Brand, Diana, Nasus, Nautilus, Darius, Neeko, and – oh, plenty more aside. Some like Morgana – as Riot’s teased before – will be getting some trait changes, too. You can check out details on the adjustments to the various champs’ stats, abilities, traits, and other aspects in the champion changes section below.

As for traits, a chunk are in for some change testing right, including slight reworks to Spirit, Mage, and Dragonsoul traits, and stat and effect tweaks to a batch of others.

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the Teamfight Tactics patch 11.2 notes (via Riot Games on the official TFT Discord). As ever, bear in mind these are undergoing a period of testing, so changes below are just tentative and could keep changing before they hit live on January 21.
