Patch 14.17 is the second official Teamfight Tactics update since the launch of Magic n’ Mayhem, featuring nerfs and buffs from the balance team as the devs try to decrease the gap between Reroll and four-cost carry comps.

Heading into the first Magic n’ Mayhem Tactician Cup tournament, the TFT balance team dropped the 14.16 B-patch in an attempt to tone down overpowered traits and champions without balance thrashing the meta. But the B-patch was only the beginning, with Patch 14.17 expected to have a major impact on the TFT Set 12 meta.
All datamined early balance changes are subject to change prior to the launch of Patch 14.17 on Aug. 28. Updates will occur on Aug. 23 and after the Patch Rundown on Aug. 25, so be sure to bookmark this page to stay up to date on all the Set 12 nerfs and buffs.
