Teamfight Tactics patch 9.22 notes

• Explore! the new Elemental Hexes, Champions, Origins, and Classes.
• Read this! for our learnings from the Beta Set and our goals for the new set.

We made a few systemic changes in preparation for Rise of the Elements. The board size change will allow for additional options and decisions to make the optimal formation for any given situation. Many of the other changes account for the champions and synergies in the new set.

• Board size: 3 rows of 7 hexes ⇒ 4 rows of 7 hexes.
• Player Damage: 3/3/3/4/5/6 ⇒ 2/3/4/5/6/7
• Summoned units don’t deal player damage by themselves, but they count as as if their Summoner was alive if at least 1 of them survives the round.
• Level 8 Champion drop chances per Tier level: 15/20/35/22/8 ⇒ 15/20/35/24/6
• Once you pick up a champion from the carousel, your Little Legend will no longer collide with your opponents.

New season, new rules.

• Ranked is off during patch 9.22, it will return with patch 9.23.
• Placing 4th or better will never deduct LP. Placing 5th or lower will never reward LP.
• We're slightly decreasing the number of challenger and grandmaster slots in many regions in order to make sure that the master to challenger ranks have the appropriate distribution of players.
• Korea, Vietnam, China: 300 Challengers, 700 Grand Masters.
• EU West and North America: 200 Challengers, 500 Grand Masters.
• All other regions: 50 Challengers, 100 Grand Masters.

We're decreasing the number of each champion in the pool. It will be much more difficult for multiple players to build similar teams. Keep an eye on what your opponents are building and find the open synergies for maximum success.

• Tier 1: 39 ⇒ 29
• Tier 2: 26 ⇒ 22
• Tier 3: 18 ⇒ 16
