Teamfight Tactics patch 12.7 notes

Bug Fix

• Fixed an issue causing the Yordle trait to always grant certain Yordles before other Yordles in the same cost bucket.

Y’all are about to get tired of my Silco emote real fast.

• Use the center emote in the emote wheel pre-game loadout to change what emote plays when your Tactician jumps out of portals.

Large, like my hype for Worlds—which will be played on this patch, if you haven’t heard.

Augments

In addition to general balance, we’re combing through Augments to make sure you’re offered them at times that make sense and won’t require drastic pivots.

The newly added scaling for Electrocharge and Luden’s Echo helped with their power levels, but the Augments still require a specific strategy that's difficult to pivot into on 4-6.

Now that the Hextech trait is in a strong and healthy place, we can adjust some of the Augments that have been impacted by the changes. Hextech Unity was always an awkward Augment, requiring you to run Hextech units and avoid them. It was powerful, but the way to tap into this power was not clear, nor very fun. So we’re yeeting it. With the increased value of the Hextech trait, Augments that add to the trait are more valuable, so we’re adjusting their availability to better reflect their power.

Don’t leave me hanging on this sweet High Five buff!

Finally, we removed Woodland Trinket. It was only strong in the early game, and its use cases were narrow, forcing an awkward playstyle with little payout. Meanwhile, Woodland Charm has a similar scaling problem, but can be used in almost any composition, so we’re giving it a buff to help players take advantage of its early to mid game power.

• Double Trouble I/II/III bonus AD, AP, Armor, and MR: 30/40/50 ⇒ 25/35/45
• Electrocharge I: 50/65/80/95 ⇒ 60/75/90/105

Traits

Yordle Augments have too much impact on the trait’s power. By nerfing the Yordle Augments, we’re able to safely buff the trait, bringing the power ceiling and floor closer together—just how Yordle sized individuals like it.

• Scholar Mana: 5/10/20 ⇒ 5/12/25
• Twinshot Attack Damage: 10/25/45/80 ⇒ 10/25/40/70
• Yordle (6) Mana Reduction: 25% ⇒ 30%

Units: Tier 2

Staying frosty, our QA team caught a mana bug for Ashe that had her max mana to cast at 55 instead of 60. By fixing that, we were able to pull a few strings and give Ashe better AD scaling, making Volley hit harder with improved arrow dynamics.

• Ashe Bugfix: Ashe’s Mana is now 30/60 as intended
• Ashe Volley Attack Damage ratio: 100% ⇒ 110%
• Corki Bombardment Damage: 190/245/315 ⇒ 180/220/290

Units: Tier 3

Now that the bird is in the cage and the dog is on the leash, we can safely buff Tryndamere, who has been underperforming despite being a crucial trait bot in powerful comps.

• Tryndamere Spinning Slash base Damage: 50/75/100 ⇒ 70/90/110

Units: Tier 4

After some necessary nerfs to Innovator’s mechanical summons in the last patch, the Innovator vertical comps are in need of a star. This’ll also help Socialite, which has been experiencing a bit of stage fright recently.

Our Sivir nerf is a minor nerf to her Hextech build, but a much larger one to her significantly overperforming Striker Scrap build.

• Draven Spinning Axes base Damage: 100/125/400 ⇒ 120/150/400
• Seraphine Mana buff: 80/150 ⇒ 70/130
• Sivir Ricochet Bounce Attack Damage scaling: 40% ⇒ 30%
• Sivir Ricochet Attack Speed: 50/70/250% ⇒ 45/65/250%

Units: Tier 5

Leaning more into the Chad energy of Galio’s thicc boi damage scaling, while also giving him a needed buff.

Base attack speed buffs also mean better scaling with attack speed items and Augments. Try giving Zeri more bows to make this Debonair a Debo-scare.

• Galio Colossal Entrance percent max Health Damage: 8% ⇒ 10%
• Zeri Attack Speed: 0.8 ⇒ 0.9

Small, like the chances Caitlyn reroll meta takes off.

Augments

Getting rid of those awkward Augment situations where you get offered an Augment for something totally different than you’ve committed to.

• Built Different Attack Speed: 60/70/80% ⇒ 55/60/70%
• Featherweights no longer appears on Stage 4-6
• Keepers I/II adjacent allies shield value: 150/225 ⇒ 160/240

Units: Tier 1

Try placing your Caitlyn in a corner with Zephyr to win streak early—said literally one person on the TFT marketing team.

• Caitlyn max Mana buff: 0/110 ⇒ 0/100

Units: Tier 2

Still won’t stop Jirachy from one-tricking.

• Talon Armor & Magic Resist: 25 ⇒ 20

Units: Tier 3

Helping the Cho’Gath deficit early game so he doesn’t become Cho’Goth.

• Cho’Gath Health: 700 ⇒ 750
• Senna Piercing Darkness base Damage: 80/120/180 ⇒ 100/140/200

Units: Tier 4

We’re evolving Kha’Zix’s wings so his dreams can really take off.

• Ahri Orb of Deception Damage: 125/190/450 ⇒ 135/200/450
• Jhin max Mana nerf: 0/50 ⇒ 0/60
• Kha’Zix Void Assault jump speed increased

Units: Tier 5

• Viktor max Mana nerf: 0/140 ⇒ 0/145

• Ashe Bugfix: Ashe’s Mana is now 30/60 as intended
• Mobile Tutorial - Kayle now uses the correct portrait.
• Fixed an issue reducing some Augments’ appearance rates on Stage 1-4.
• No longer compensating: Veigar now correctly only attacks once between casts (down from two) when he gains enough mana to repeat cast via the following: Blue Battery 1 + Blue Battery 2 + 6 Yordle + Radiant Blue Buff.
