Patch 14.8 is an important update within TFT Set 11 for competitive players, with the first Inkborn FablesAmericas Tactician’s Cup occurring at the end of April. It’s also an important update for casual players seeking to hit Diamond rank and beyond. We already knew about HP buffs for four and five-cost units thanks to game design director Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer earlier in the week. And all early Patch 14.8 changes were confirmed through Patch Rundown on April 14.
Patch 14.8 TFT Set 11 system changes
System changes in Patch 14.8 will adjust how the Set 11 Inkborn Fables meta is played, from player base damage adjustments to shop odds at Level Seven. Streaks return to granting one gold with a win or loss streak of two. And shop odds for four-cost champions at Level Seven were nerfed from 19/30/40/10/1 to 20/33/36/10/1 percent.

Patch 14.8 TFT Set 11 trait balance changes
