Patch 11.16, the first patch since Reckoning: Dawn of Heroes Set 5.5 launched, is scheduled to bring a major rework to the Legionnaire trait and a number of tweaks to Radiant items. Legionnaire has “been a non-existent trait,” according to Mortdog, prompting a rework with Omnivamp that will benefit Yasuo, Riven, and Kayle. Kalista will still heal and hit for major damage with her spear, according to Kent. 

Several Radiant items will also see adjustments, toning down overpowered items while buffing some underperformers. Vanilla Sunfire Cape and Redemption will receive several minor changes, but Quicksilver is slated to get a major boost in CC immunity duration from 12 to 15 seconds.

Major TFT Patch 11.16 balance changes

  • Legionnaire: New Omnivamp: 15/20/25/35 percent
  • Legionnaire: Attack speed remains unchanged at 25/65/120/250 percent
  • Nocturne: Bonus damage is now 70/85/110 and scales with AP
  • Nocturne: Attack damage ratio reduced to 75 percent
  • Nocturne: Heal changed from 90/95/100 to 100 percent flat and no longer scales with AP
  • Nocturne: Attack speed buff changed to a flat 35 percent
  • Lucian: Every other shot from The Culling now counts as an attack, allowing items like Runaan’s Hurricane, Statikk Shiv, Guinsoo’s Rageblade, and Titan’s Resolve to work
  • Karma: Soulflare damage buffed from 210/260/700 to 225/280/750
  • Galio: Shield buffed to 60 percent
  • Galio: Damage nerfed at three-star to 1200
