Meant to be more of a hotfix than a full update, patch 10.17 in Teamfight Tactics contained mostly minor changes and one significant adjustment to Titan’s Resolve.
Patch 10.17 dropped a day early due to an error on the part of lead game designer Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer, which directly affected players competing at the LATAM Qualifier Finals on Aug. 18. Mortdog apologized to the players, and the LATAM Riot team postponed the final rounds until Sunday, Aug. 23, to give the players time to prepare.
Galaxies
Binary Star was removed in patch 10.17 and replaced with Manatee’s Delight. The new Galaxy gives every player a spatula at the start of the game, providing additional options when building comps.
Items
A majority of the adjustments in patch 10.17 were minor tweaks, with the exception of a nerf applied to Titan’s Resolve. Often played on Rumble in a variety of Mech comps, Titan’s Resolve max stacks was reduced from 50 to 25. Hand of Justice was also tweaked, reducing damage and healing from 50 to 45 percent.
Traits
Only one trait was changed in patch 10.17. Due to Astro Snipers being a top-four comp with a high first-place finish percentage, Sniper damage bonus per hex was reduced from 10/18 to 9/16 percent.
