My TFT Patch 9.14

9.14 TFT patch notes were just released. While I think there are a lot of good things in the patch (like adding a new champion) here are key changes I think they missed:

Champion Changes:

Tier 1: Mordekaiser: Heal for 15/25/40% of ability damage dealt (Spell vamp is mordekaisers niche if darius can have some why not him?) Vayne: properly display her third strike proc. She practically takes a 4th shot by the time the game registers her ability

Tier 2:

Pyke: Tier2 -> Tier 3. It astonishes me that the developers still keep pyke at a 2 gold cost when he outperforms rengar, kat, and eve who are all 3 gold assasins. He seems to be used in every composition and early on he decimates teams with 4/5 champ stuns. Knock him up a tier and you wont have to balance him every patch.

Varus: Reduce cast time at higher ranks 1.5/1.25/1. empowering a tier 2 varus is worthless when he dies before finishing his first cast.

Tier 3: Katarina: Tier 3 -> Tier 2 Honestly makes the most sense to bump down with pyke increase. Will allow players to play imperials earlier since there are limited numbers. Eve also made sense but there are already T1/T2 demons.

Riot patched most T3s so lets see how they play out.

Tier 4: I think in general with T4s the cc is just too large. Why cant you scale up the diameters of these abilities, such as Kindred, Sej, Cho , and Gnar. I think as they become 2/3* then their abilities can cover half the board.

Brand: Bounces 3/4/6

Tier 5:

I'm okay with the state of T5s. They are so much later in the game they are kind of meant to be broken especially at 2*.

Now here is my biggest change to the game outside of the champions. I think there should be an enhanced roll. This would cost 6 gold and would give you 5 completely different champions from your previous roll. This would not unlock until stage 3, so that everyone is at least level 5 when it comes into play allowing plenty of champion diversity. Alternatively riot should allow champion saving for 1 gold a champion. That way you don't have to lock your full roll and you can still get a partial roll in between rounds. It is kind of annoying holding a roll for 1 brand when there are 4 other worthless champions in the roll.
