For the first official update of TFT Set Nine, the balance team will revert the extra damage that was added to Stage Four through Patch 13.13, according to game designer Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer. The first patch of Runterra Reforged will also feature a large number of champion balance changes, along with items and Augments. Many of the balance changes are small, “intended to make the set better,” according to Mortdog.

All Patch 13.13 changes revealed during the TFT Set Nine Mortdog Patch Rundown have been added and updated.
