Following the recent launch of the hefty Teamfight Tactics patch 10.16, you’re probably wondering where TFT patch 10.17’s gone. Well, Riot announced it was “taking a week off” in order to “recharge and reboot”, which means the TFT and LoL patch 10.17 cycle would be skipped over on the PBE – and now we’re on to the patch 10.18 cycle instead. A handful of changes have hit the autobattler’s PBE ready for a round o’ testing – so, let’s go take a look, shall we?
So far, there’s not a huge raft of Teamfight Tactics balance changes to eyeball up for tweaking and tinkering, but there are a few key trait and Champion adjustments you’ll want to be aware of. First up, the Sniper trait is seeing some nerfs for two- and four-unit sets. Damage dealt per hex for these builds is taking a bit of a drop.
Across tiers three and five, several Champions are also seeing some balance changes, and it’s good news for Cassiopeia and Xerath, with both seeing some buffs to their ability damage.
Neeko, Master Yi, and Gangplank, on the other hand, are in for some nerfs to their ability damage, going by what’s on the PBE right now. But, as ever, it’s worth noting these are in for testing, so can easily change around before the patch goes live.
Speaking of which, in-line with the now-adjusted League of Legends patch schedule, it looks like we’ll see TFT patch 10.18 go live alongside LoL patch 10.18 on September 2. Keep checking back on these notes, as we’ll make sure to keep them updated with all the changes you need to know about ahead of its arrival.
