Teamfight Tactics Patch 9.14: All Champion Buffs & Nerfs

The first major patch, update 9.14, has finally arrived in Teamfight Tactics, Riot Games’ League of Legends spin-off, and it’s bringing huge changes with it.

The major additions players will notice right away is Twisted Fate as a new Champion along with the introduction of a ranked mode. Twisted Fate brings the list of Champions up to 51 but it’s way too early to tell where he’ll land on the tier list.

On top of this, there were a ton of changes made to the current roster of Champions and many of them will either be stronger or weaker than when you last played with them.

It will be important to know who changed, especially with the onset of ranked play, so let’s just dive right into the changes. Let’s first take a look at the buffs that were made in patch 9.14.

All Champion Buffs in Teamfight Tactics Patch 9.14

There’s a lot to unpack here but it’s worth mentioning that Riot Games felt like a lot of the 3-cost Champions underperformed so they received the biggest upgrades.

The developers now say those Champions will be a lot more effective, even at 1-star, so there’s no reason to skip over them anymore if you’re worried about them being bad.

Those aren’t the only Champions to get looked at though as pretty much everyone received changes.
