TFT Patch 13.19 notes: First TFT Set 9.5 Horizonbound update focuses on buffs

Riot Games will ship the first Teamfight Tactics Set 9.5 update through Patch 13.19, focusing on buffs while reducing gold granted across the board from Augments and traits like Piltover. 

The first update to TFT Set 9.5 Horizonbound targets the underperformers since the Mid-Set update launched. Traits like Bilgewater were given a slight buff following the nerfs applied through the 13.18 B-patch. Ixtal received significant buffs while the early-game Piltover loot was reduced. Heimerdinger received a new upgrade that elevates the five-cost to a possible late-game carrier, and Aatrox’s Darkin Omnivamp was reduced. 

Here are the full Patch 13.19 notes for TFT Set 9.5 Horzonbound, according to Riot.
