TFT patch 14.19 early notes: Faerie nerfs and other balance changes

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent in the realm of strategic battles, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia coupled with excitement upon seeing these updates. The tweaks to the base ability damage and stage scaling HP are subtle yet significant, promising a more dynamic gameplay experience.

A fresh update for Teamfight Tactics is approaching soon. This is Patch 14.19, which will introduce several significant adjustments. Among these changes are toning down the power of Faerie, Ziggs, and Hecarim, who have been overpowered in the current gameplay style. Here’s a rundown of what you should expect from the upcoming update.

Teamfight Tactics is stirring things up again with Patch 14.19. This update intends to readjust the well-liked auto battler by making certain adjustments, including toning down some high-performing units, while strengthening underperforming augmentations and traits. This way, less effective team compositions will continue to be competitive.

Want to get ahead of the meta, here’s all the changes coming.

When is TFT patch 14.19 going live?

On September 25, 2024, I’ll find myself taking a brief break from my favorite games, League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, as we both get updated with patch 14.19. During this time, we’ll undergo some downtime together, so keep an eye on the clock, fellow gamers!

What’s changing TFT patch 14.19?

Faerie Nerfs

If you’ve been playing Teamfight Tactics recently, you’ve probably encountered the Faerie composition. This strategy is currently extremely strong, leading to nearly invincible Rakans and Kalistas wreaking havoc on your team. Consequently, Riot is planning to tone it down a bit in this upcoming patch.

Other balance changes

In addition to adjusting the power level of Faerie, there are also various other balance alterations taking place. These modifications include reducing the strength of Ziggs and Hecarim, while boosting the potency of numerous other units, abilities, and characteristics.
