Patch 11.14 is the final one for TFT before the midset update, Reckoning: Dawn of Heroes. Riot revealed all major changes taking place in the final patch today, highlighting a buff to the trait Legionnaire. Sett and Volibear are also slated for buffs while Gragas and Garen are getting nerfed. 

  • Buffs: Legionnaire, Sett, and Volibear
  • Nerfs: Gragas and Garen

By keeping Kayle’s power level in check with Patch 11.13, it’s likely that the TFT balance team feels comfortable giving the Legionnaire trait a buff. An attack speed buff would fuel Draven’s fire while also improving Kalista and Riven. It also procs Legionnaire champions spells to cast quicker, providing them with heals. 

Sett has been out of the meta for some time, and a nice buff to Volibear improves the Brawler trait at late-game stages. Going four Brawler may not be a viable option, though, depending on what lever Gragas is nerfed at. And a nerf to Garen shouldn’t come as a surprise, given his impact on the late game meta throughout Set Five.

Balance changes are subject to change prior to the release of TFT Patch 11.14 on July 8. Also included with patch 11.14 are minor tweaks and the launch of Set 5.5 Reckoning: Dawn of Hope on the PBE server.
