Teamfight Tactics‘ game director Mortdog shared a list of changes that will hit live servers sometime within the next 24-hours that should help rectify some of the overtuned traits and units that launched with the new set last week.
The 11.9 B-patch notes touch on units such as LeBlanc and Mordekaiser, as well as some overperforming traits, like Revenant and Legionnaire.
In approximately 24 hours, we'll be applying a B-Patch to hit some balance outliers. In order to give you time to theory craft, here are the notes.
Some bigger swings that we hope will open things up. More coming in 11.10 as well. Will post again once it's live. pic.twitter.com/EXaowxuwi7
— Riot Mort (@Mortdog) May 4, 2021Trait changes
In the first week of Reckoning, two traits were guaranteed to be forced in every single lobby: Legionnaire and Revenant. Playing four Legionnaire, four Dragonslayer with Mordekaiser carry was certainly the composition of 11.9, and with the right items, it was close to unbeatable.
- Legionnaire: Attack speed decreased from 20/60/150/250 percent to 25/60/110/180 percent.
- Revenant: Heal upon reviving decreased from 30/75 percent to 10/40 percent.
Unit changes
Mordekaiser received nerfs through the Legionnaire trait as personal changes to his spell damage. Other top carries like LeBlanc and Aphelios were also slightly changed. The power level of Hellion, especially through levels one to five, should also see a decrease after this patch with both Ziggs and Kennen receiving nerfs.
One-cost champions
- Ziggs: Attack speed reduced from 0.85 to 0.75
Two-cost champions
- Kennen: Mana changed from 50/100 to 40/100. Spell damage decreased from 150/200/300 to 150/200/250. Spell stun duration decreased from 1/2/3 to 1/2/2.5 seconds.
- LeBlanc: Duration of mana lock increased from one second to two seconds. Starting mana buffed from 0/50 to 20/60. Fixed a bug where both chains could land on the same unit. Fixed a bug where the unit’s cast animation wouldn’t begin at the beginning of every cast.
