Teamfight Tactics patch 9.24 notes
Riot··0 votes·67,324 views
Greetings Tacticians!
The Soulbound, Senna and Lucian, along with Amumu headline patch 9.24. We're also giving a boost to some of the underperforming origins and classes. Our hope is that going deep into the compositions that allow that kind of investment (Inferno, Light, Rangers, and Berserkers) are viable (even if not always optimal) strategies. Last but not least, we're decreasing the effectiveness of early “hyperrolling” by reducing the scaling of several Tier 1 champions who are stronger than intended later in the game. We think there’s more work to do here, but there are clear outliers we’re looking to hit immediately this patch.
Take this portal if you're looking for League's patch notes!
Let's get into it!

Bugfixes

- Fixed a bug where every Lux except Light had 10 more base AD than intended.
- Fixed a bug where Yasuo took too long to reach his hex and resume attacking as his R ended.
- Fixed some of the loading screen tips to be more...up to date.
- Fixed a bug where Twitch’s Spray and Pray would stop working after cast if he was equipped with Runaan’s Hurricane
- Fixed Renekton’s ability tooltip to properly say it deals magic damage
- Fixed a bug where occasionally Skarner’s shield would persist across rounds
- Fixed Inferno damage zones being created when Zyra plants expire
- Fixed a bug where continuously applying Red Buff or Morellos burn for more than 10 seconds would cause the anti-healing to no longer affect the target
- Fixed a bug where you could get double the health bonus from Earth Hexes.
