Teamfight Tactics Patch Notes
9.14 also marks the first patch with official TFT patch notes! From now on, you can expect TFT patch notes almost every week on their own separate page. This first official patch week we have a whole host of changes. First, Twisted Fate is warping in to the Convergence for all your piracy and spell-slinging needs. Then, get ready to start climbing because the ranked Beta Season is coming and as they say, “RNG is a ladder.” Finally, items and gold will now drop from NPC rounds on a more consistent basis.

Anti-Shielding Champions
Blitzcrank's and Renekton's new anti-shielding effect specifically break damage-absorbing shields.
Blitzcrank
R now destroys shields on enemies before dealing damage and silencing.
R - Static Field
newE.M.P. Static Field now removes shields on enemies before its other effects (damage and silence)Renekton
Empowered W now breaks shields on targets before dealing damage and stunning.
W - Ruthless Predator
newBREAKING GLASS ANGRILY Destroys existing shields on targets when empowered with 50 Fury before its existing effects (damage and stun)Anti-Healing Champions
While all other current healing reduction sources in the game cap out at 40%, Katarina's and Kled's will be at 60%, making them uniquely powerful and better than items like Executioner's Calling against specific healing team comps.
Katarina
R healing reduction increased.
R - Death Lotus
I NEED MORE BANDAGES 40% healing reduction ⇒ 60% healing reductionKled
Q pull now applies healing reduction.
Q - Bear Trap on a Rope
newBEETS ARE FOR BEARS Pulling in an enemy reduces all healing on them by 60% for 5 secondsFlat Damage Reduction Champions
Leona and Fizz will now be a little stronger against opponents with "death by a thousand cuts" types of damage patterns, like on-hit and DoT champions.
Fizz
Passive reduces all sources of damage.
Passive - Nimble Fighter
DAMAGE REDUCTION 4/6/8/10/12/14 (levels 1/4/7/10/13/16) against basic attacks ⇒ 4 (+0.01 ability power) against all sources of damage (maximum of 50% reduction)Leona
W reduces damage by a flat amount; armor decreased; magic resist decreased. R no longer empowers basic attacks.

removedINCANDESCENCE Leona no longer gains empowered basic attacks after casting Solar FlareTrue Sight Champions
While these abilities already provide true sight, we're taking them a step further and extending the true sight effect beyond these champions' abilities' tethers and into the complete CC.
Karma
W now provides true sight on rooted targets.
W - Focused Resolve/Renewal
newI SEE YOU Focused Resolve/Renewal now reveals successfully rooted targets for the duration of the root as wellLeBlanc
E now provides true sight on rooted targets.
E - Ethereal Chains
newNOW I SEE YOU Ethereal Chains now reveals successfully rooted targets for the duration of the root as wellMorgana
R now provides true sight on stunned targets.
R - Soul Shackles
newALL-SEEING EYE Soul Shackles now reveals successfully stunned targets for the duration of the root as wellAnti-Mobility Champions
Because mobility is such a prominent feature on many mainstay champions, we're increasing the power and number of anti-mobility options players have against them. This should open up more opportunities for Ahri, Cassiopeia, and Poppy to outplay their slippier opponents without increasing their overall power.
Ahri
E now cancels in-progress dashes; bonus damage duration decreased.
E - Charm
newSTOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE Charm now cancels in-progress dashes BONUS DAMAGE DURATION 5 seconds ⇒ 3 secondsCassiopeia
W minimum cast range removed; maximum cast range decreased; cooldown increased early and decreased late. E healing increased; now reduced when poisoning minions and small monsters; cost flattened. Ability casts now buffer.
Outside of the flexibility in mobility, Cassio is getting too much out of just a few (or one!) points in her E, so we're amping up the value at later ranks to encourage a full rank-up.

Aatrox
Base health regen growth increased. R no longer revives Aatrox; amplified self-healing increased; cooldown decreased.
Despite the adjustments we've made over the past couple of patches, Aatrox has remained a stalwart presence in pro play. We're making him less reliable as a blind pick with the removal of revives from his ultimate.
Base Stats
HEALTH REGEN GROWTH 0.75 ⇒ 1R - World Ender

W cooldown flattened; energy restore flattened; duration extension removed; stealth type changed. Q AP ratio increased. E damage increased. R cooldown increased.
We're taking some steps to make Akali a little less slippery while buffing her in other areas. By changing her stealth type to Invisibility, she'll now be revealed by true sight, giving more enemies a way to find her when she's in her shroud. Additionally, there will be a higher cost when she chooses to use her ultimate as a means of escape. But on the plus side, the buffs to her energy restore and damage on her E will help her stay lethal against any unfortunate, caught-out enemy.

COOLDOWN 100/85/70 seconds ⇒ 120/110/100 secondsAlistar
Base mana and mana growth increased.
Giving Alistar a boost in average play without making him overbearing in pro. The increase in mana helps those who may struggle with managing their resources in lane.
Base Stats
MANA 278.84 ⇒ 350 MANA GROWTH 38 ⇒ 40Aurelion Sol
Q max stun duration and radius growth per second increased. E max movement speed now scales with level.
Making larger-than-lane Q stars is so bad that it's just considered trolling. But it's definitely one of the cooler parts of Aurelion Sol's kit and should actually be considered a viable ability, especially in coordinated play. These changes should help encourage more dummy thicc Q stars.
Q - Starsurge
MAXIMUM STUN DURATION 1.65/1.8/1.95/2.1/2.25 seconds after traveling for 5 seconds ⇒ 2.2/2.4/2.6/2.8/3 seconds after traveling for 5 seconds (minimum stun duration still 0.55/0.6/0.65/0.7/0.75/0.8 seconds)) STAR RADIUS GROWTH Increased by 33%E - Comet of Legend
MAXIMUM BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 25/30/35/40/45% ⇒ 25-45% (levels 1-18)Bard
Base health increased; health regen decreased. E travel speed increased; ally bonus speed flattened.
We're shifting some of Bard's durability around to help him survive all-ins with his team, and speeding up his tunnel mobility for stronger early-game ganks.
Base Stats
HEALTH 535 ⇒ 575 HEALTH REGEN 7.5 ⇒ 5.5E - Magical Journey
TRAVEL SPEED 800 ⇒ 900 ALLY BONUS SPEED 10/20/30/40/50% ⇒ 33% at all ranksDiana
Passive and R bugfixes. Q arc speed decreased. W cost bugfixed.
Diana's 9.13 changes had unintended power consequences. We're adjusting accordingly.
Passive - Moonsilver Blade
BUGFIX Will no longer occasionally do unintended additional damage to turretsQ - Crescent Strike
INNER ARC SPEED 2100 ⇒ 1900 OUTER ARC SPEED 2300 ⇒ 2100W - Pale Cascade

BUGFIX Lunar Rush can no longer be reset twice when a reset was timed with a new application of MoonlightGalio
Passive cooldown reduction removed; cooldown decreased; damage increased. Q cooldown and damage increased; cost decreased late. W now interruptible by CC and restricts Flash during channel; self-slow decreased.
Galio has long been pro play regular, mainly due to his ability to safely clear waves at a range and threaten instant engages with his taunt+Flash combo. Both of these things are exceptionally powerful in pro, but have led to a low solo queue winrate for the gargoyle. This patch we're looking to diminish these pro strengths while moving that power to places that won't just lead to a different flavor of pro dominance. Overall, Galio should be worse at clearing minions from range, but have fewer mana constraints, which should encourage him to build more durability.
Base Stats
MANA GROWTH 20 ⇒ 40Passive - Colossal Smash

newGROUNDED Galio cannot Flash while channeling Shield of Durand newWHY'D YOU STOP ME Shield of Durand can now be interrupted by all the usual CC effects that interrupt channels SELF-SLOW 30% ⇒ 15%Jhin
W cooldown decreased; root duration increased.
Adding some power into the part of Jhin's kit that rewards timing and coordination.
W - Deadly Flourish
COOLDOWN 14 seconds ⇒ 12 seconds ROOT DURATION 0.75/1/1.25/1.5/1.75 seconds ⇒ 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2 secondsLux
Q cooldown increased early, decreased late; cost flattened. W double shield on return removed; shield ratio increased; shield duration decreased. R cooldown reset removed; cooldown decreased late; ratio increased.
Builds centered around the safety provided by Lux's W have risen in prominence over the last month or two. Because Lux's Prismatic Barrier dodged some of the adjustment treatment given to other shields, we're making some changes to adjust the power between her offense- and defense-oriented builds.
We're also removing Final Spark's cooldown refund since we never pushed the mechanic far enough to feel really meaningful and the effect can just be replicated with adjustments to its base cooldown.
Q - Light Binding
COOLDOWN 10 seconds ⇒ 13/12/11/10/9 seconds COST 40/45/50/55/60 mana ⇒ 50 mana at all ranksW - Prismatic Barrier

Q slow increased, slow duration decreased. W empowers basic attacks on cast and cleaves in a cone; cost increased and scales with rank. VFX and QoL updates.
Malphite is one of the League's oldest champions, and we all know that rolling stones gather no moss. To that end, we're giving the Shard of the Monolith a giant quality-of-life update that should make his abilities feel more satisfying to use. Specifically, his Q should look and feel more responsive, and his W now resets his attack swing animation and cleaves in a longer-reaching cone rather than a circle.
We're also enhancing the fantasy of playing a literal mountain by scaling Malphite's size as he stacks armor throughout the match. Finally, a suite of new ability visual effects ties the whole update together and should help Malphite feel more rock solid than ever.
Visual Updates
SHINE AND POLISH New VFX for all abilities and skins MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL Malphite is slightly smaller at the start of the game newMOUNTAIN MAN Malphite's size now increases with his armor, capping around 850 armorPassive - Granite Shield

ROLLING STONES Improved cast animation for most skins THE ROCK IS COOKING Malphite now spawns his rock ~100 units in front of him rather than at his center point SLOW 14/17/20/23/26% ⇒ 15/20/25/30/35% SLOW DURATION 4 seconds ⇒ 3 secondsnewW - Thunderclap
EMPOWERED BASIC ATTACK Malphite's next basic attack within 6 seconds gains 50 increased range and deals 20/35/50/65/80 (+0.2 ability power) (+0.15 armor) bonus physical damage ROCKY ROAD CONE For the next 5 seconds after casting, Malphite's basic attacks cleave enemies in a cone in front of him, dealing 10/20/30/40/50 (+0.2 ability power) (+0.1 armor) physical damage to enemies hit COST 25 mana at all ranks ⇒ 30/35/40/45/50 manaMordekaiser
Passive base damage decreased. E magic penetration decreased late.
Even after 9.12's hotfixes, Mordekaiser is too strong. We're following up with some additional adjustments, pulling some power out of his damage amplification in the mid-game and his passive damage overall.
Passive - Darkness Rise
BASE DAMAGE 8-25 (levels 1-18) ⇒ 5-15 (levels 1-18) BUGFIX No longer activates on Mordekaiser's corpse if it procs via Death's Grasp hitting 3 enemies after Mordekaiser diesE - Death's Grasp
MAGIC PENETRATION 5/10/15/20/25% ⇒ 5/7.5/10/12.5/15%Nidalee
Cougar E base magic damage increased.
Giving Nidalee a tiny bit of all-in help and jungle clear speed without impacting her already strong ranged abilities.
E - Swipe
BASE DAMAGE 70/130/190/250 ⇒ 80/140/200/260Pyke
E now stuns non-champions. R deals reduced damage to surviving enemies; now grants Pyke additional "Your Cut" gold as well.
Pyke's 9.13 changes had the intended outcome of equalizing performance between support Pyke and solo Pyke, but left solo Pyke with some room for buffs.
E - Phantom Undertow
newDANNY PHANTOM Phantom Undertow now stuns non-champions, but deals no damage to themR - Death From Below
newSURVIVOR Deals 50% reduced damage to enemies that survive Death from Below SPLIT BOUNTY When Pyke kills an enemy with Death from Below, the last assisting ally ⇒ the last assisting ally and Pyke are granted "Your Cut" FIRST MATE When Pyke assists on a kill following Death from Below, he receives 1 "Your Cut" ⇒ 2 "Your Cut" newICON Death from Below's icon now shows next to Pyke's health bar when it can be cast for freeRyze
Base health regen and health regen growth increased. Q and E bugfixes.
While the dart didn't land on "REWORK" this patch, it did land on "BUGFIX" and slightly grazed "BUFF" (we're giving him more forgiveness in lane while players acclimate to his new ability patterns).
Base Stats
HEALTH REGEN 7 ⇒ 8 HEALTH REGEN GROWTH 0.55 ⇒ 0.8Q - Overload
BUGFIX 1 Overload no longer cancels Ryze's movement when spammed during its cast time BUGFIX 2 Overload no longer bounces back to its original target if Spell Flux is applied to it during other bouncesE - Spell Flux
BUGFIX 3 Now correctly triggers Manaflow Band when it bounces to a champion BUGFIX 4 Spell Flux no longer bounces back to its original target off of other targets that have Flux on themSinged
Q recast timer increased; brighter ability icon when toggled on in the spell bar.
Making our toggle spells more consistent in timing so they get cancelled less.
Q - Poison Trail
RECAST TIMER 0 seconds ⇒ 0.5 seconds INDICATOR When toggled on, Poison Trail's icon will be highlighted more brightlySwain
Soul Fragments restore mana and permanently increase Swain's max HP. Q pierces through minions; no longer pierces through champions killed. R1 drains all nearby enemies. R2 damage tied to R1 health drained; no longer modified by Soul Fragments; now castable immediately.
Swain's Soul Fragment mechanic gated players from simply accessing his ultimate, making it a whole lot less satisfying when they're finally able to trigger it. By making collected Soul Fragments permanently increase Demonflare's damage, we're cutting out the decision-making around when Swain should cast it, while also pushing the scaling fantasy that's appropriate to his thematics.

Passive damage vs minions less reduced. Q detonation damage increased. E shield granted on first cast; no longer blocks non-magic damage but blocks all magic damage for a duration; cooldown flattened; second cast stun duration decreased. R cast range decreased, recast window decreased, cooldown increased, AD->AP ratio conversion decreased.
Sylas has been a high priority pick in pro play due to his versatility and late-game power. We're putting in some changes focused around reducing the fallback power of his ultimate, and changing his pick conditions.
Passive - Petricite Burst
DAMAGE REDUCTION ON MINIONS 70% ⇒ 50%Q - Chain Lash

Passive damage health scaling increased; stacks no longer increase ability damage; abilities no longer apply stacks. Q no longer has a melee-range arc; stun now consumes all stacks. W1 Nearsight on enemies removed. W2 stun on enemies removed. E stores less Grey Health but heals for a higher percent; cooldown reduced but starts on shield expiration.
We're taking a sweeping pass at some of the things that make Tahm Kench unnecessarily frustrating to play against, notably the constant CC that plagues opponents in lane and his Q's large melee hitbox.
And he can now Devour Blue and Red Buffs, because that seems like it could be fun.

RECAST TIMER 1 seconds ⇒ 0.5 secondsYuumi
Passive shield decreased; mana restore removed. Q empowered damage decreased; cost increased. E missing HP scaling increased; cost decreased.
We're opening Yuumi's early game weakness to reduce her presence in pro play. These changes cut her very early lane poke dominance, while buffing her later lane scrapping.

A handful of ranged top laners are the dominant picks in professional play because of a combination of their status as a safe early pick in the draft order and their potential to heavily punish unfavorable match-ups in the early game.
Kennen, Neeko, and Jayce all have the following attributes that give them this flexibility and dominance: exceptional (normally enhanced) basic attacks and powerful (and often low cooldown) disengage abilities. With these ch 8000 anges, we're attempting to push these champions' harass power down for the first few levels in exchange for scaling. The expectation is this will lower frustration for the average player, as well as lower pro pick priority.
Jayce
Attack damage decreased; attack damage growth increased. Q base damage decreased early, increased late; damage ratio increased.

In the meantime, get in the game and see it for yourself!
Show [Allied] Chat
We've added a new option under Settings>Interface>Chat that will now allow you to mute your allies' chats. There is now a separate checkbox for "Show [Allied] Chat" next to the already existing "Show [All] Chat". Both settings will be checked by default, but players can now uncheck both to mute both enemies' and teammates' chats permanently, or until they're turned back on. However, unchecking both will not mute the pre- and post-game chat, but we've heard your requests and are considering including those in the future!
