TFT Patch 13.3 patch notes: Previously known as Patch 14.25

Teamfight Tactics is back again with the newly named patch-naming system, introducing TFT Patch 13.3. This marks the third patch of TFT Set 13 and after weeks of observations over December, TFT starts off the new year with a whole bunch of balance changes to the game.

TFT Patch 13.3 goes live on Jan. 15 alongside the League of Legends update and aims to shift the balance and tune down comps and items that are performing too well while buffing underperformers. Let’s go over everything you need to know about TFT Patch 13.3 balance changes.

There are a few quality-of-life improvements for the Carousel and Opening Encounters:

  rolling even faster

  contains Spatulas
