December 2022 · 3 minute read

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. 

Ok we made it! This is the last round of changes before the weekend. (Any changes tomorrow will just be bug fixes.) Then one last round of changes next Tuesday, then live! Let's gooooo!

Set Five champions

Teemo had his spell damage increased at one and two-star while Kindred was nerfed at one and two-star. Aphelios was also adjusted so his spell no longer triggers “on attack” effects like Runaan’s Hurricane for each target. 

Set Five traits

A total of six traits were adjusted, including a bonus mana reduction for Coven and a power reduction at two Forgotten. 

Set Five items

Zz’Rot Portal was adjusted again, providing a “smoother growth curve.”
