Teamfight Tactics patch 9.16B notes

Riot·8/21/2019, 7:00:19 PM·2 votes·61,900 views

Hey Tacticians, welcome to the Teamfight Tactics patch 9.16B notes.

In true B-side fashion, this patch will be fairly light. The biggest change is to the in-game matchmaking system, which should prevent you from seeing the same opponent too often. This change will be an improvement on past versions, but we're still not completely happy with the system and we'll continue to tinker going forward. For gameplay, the meta is in a pretty good spot following the inclusion of our Hextech friends, and we're giving out a few small bumps to the outliers.

Now, let's get into it.

Personally I'd like to see Braum's mana go from 0/50 to 25/75, it's up way too frequently and he's a monster with even the slightest itemisation

@Riot Going to finally fix the exploit people are doing at the start of the game to get through the shared draft circle?

I literally stopped playing TFT because of the Hextech set, it completely destroys the satisfaction of building your champions. I'd rather lose to a maxed out champion than get massacred by maxed out champions WITH Hextech buff. Just remove it please, TFT was way fun and enjoyable until it arrived.

Where is the nerf to leonas perma stun? I get that it needs to be long but wow literally had my jinx stunned the entire match XD

[sg-lulu] IS that really a morgana buff. After what happened to demons...

Man... I was honestly waiting for this patch all week thinking "they'll definitely lower hextech length in the next patch." I mean I was upset with the strength of Jinx and some other things that were addressed, but hextech just makes the game not fun. I'm not complaining because of I have to strategize around it or I think it's super broken, it's just not fun. I thought everyone was on the same page here; it's all I hear from streamers. So disappointed because I love(d) TFT.

"For gameplay, the meta is in a pretty good spot following the inclusion of our Hextech friends" lol wut. I wouldnt be surprised if there was a sudden influx of people quitting the game cuz of hextech and the staleass go noble every game and hope for kayle meta.

Ya im a bit disapointed about the lack of noble nerf.. and the morg "buff" was a bit out of nowhere. I think hextech needs to be looked at. 8 seconds for a 2unit buff is pretty OP. Glad to see the matchmaking changes though, hopefully they feel better.

Is the ABAB matchmaking bug still in the game? Im still facing this issue and its really annoying having to face 1st and 2nd every other match.
