A number of Teamfight Tactics balance changes were included in today’s Set Five PBE patch, adjusting more items, traits, and champions.
Scheduled to launch on the live servers on April 28, Set Five Reckoning will have one final PBE update take place on April 27, according to game director Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer. All changes made in today’s PBE Reckoning patch will stand through the weekend, with tomorrow’s update containing bug fixes. Five-cost champions like Teemo and Kindred were hit with minor changes, along with six traits and four items.

PBE bug fixes
- The Monstrosity’s charge-in spell should now apply damage properly when he’s four-star.
- Nocturne should now hit his target with his passive when he’s holding RFC.
- Heimerdinger should now properly cast on his turret when he’s a Hellion coming through the portal.
- Fixed an issue where Viego would leave his target visually suspended mid-air even if he was interrupted or killed during the channel.
- Fixed Warwick occasionally “AFK’ing” for a long time (always happened if his ability was blocked by Trap Claw).
- Fixed Trundle Subjugating an enemy that had negative armor from Sett granting the enemy armor and causing Trundle to lose some (Trundle can’t steal negative stats).
- Dragonslayer trait should still proc even if the Dragonslayer who made the takedown dies before it occurs.
- Stacking multiple Hand of Vengeance’s will no longer turn their buffs off for the rest of combat after the first takedown.
- Deathblade, Shadow Deathblade, and Hand of Vengeance now properly proc off of PvE enemies.
