TFT players exploiting bugs are in for a rude awakening with upcoming 13.13 C-patch

Riot Games is cutting the Teamfight Tactics Patch 13.13 B-meta off with a C-patch that is expected to ship late July 10, correcting problematic bugs while also potentially tweaking the Ezreal Legend. 

Players abusing bugs is a common problem in any game and TFT players are aware that Riot won’t hesitate to ban accounts that exploit a bug to gain Rank. Game design director Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer laid out the ground rules earlier this year, while the team banned 40 accounts for abusing a Gadgeteen bug. Within Patch 13.13 of TFT Set Nine, there’s been a Sett bug and more recently, a Magnetic Remover glitch that heals a board unit when the consumable is on the bench. Any players exploiting these bugs are on the chopping block for having their account banned, according to Mortdog. 

Cutting summer break short, the TFT will ship a 13.13 C-patch on July 10 that potentially addresses both these bug issues and others. Players competing in the second half of the Runterra Reforged NA Freljord Cup this weekend may have to make meta adjustments. No details regarding the update have been released at the time of writing, with many TFT Set Nine players hoping the Ezreal Legends Augments get nerfed. 

Buried Treasure drops a random item, which isn’t overpowered in itself. But the Augment also supplies a consistent stream of gold, making it easier for players to level and roll down. The other Augments that may also get hit are the Grab Bag Augments, also providing gold through a single dump and up to three random Components. 

The TFT Set Nine 13.13 C-patch will get shipped late on July 10 and will officially go live shortly after. Details are expected to drop during the evening of July 10, according to Riot.

Update July 10, 7pm CT: Details of the TFT Set Nine 13.13 C-patch were released by Riot.

Both Buried Treasure and Grab Bag Augments were indeed hit with nerfs, with all gold from Buried Treasures removed and the gold from Grab Bag Augments reduced. The Sett exploitative bug was resolved, along with four-star Yordle units selling for the correct amount of gold. Champions that were hit included Kai’Sa and Lux.

• Buried Treasure (all tiers): Gold removed.
• Tiny Grab Bag: Gold reduced to four.
• Big Grab Bag: Gold reduced to eight.
• Giant Grab Bag: Gold reduced to 10.
• Kai’Sa: Mana nerfed from 40/110 to 40/140.
• Lux: Starting mana nerfed from 25/45 to 0/40.
• Lux: Spell damage nerfed from 750/1125/3333 to 700/1050/3333.

The TFT Set Nine 13.13 C-patch will drop into live servers at 7pm CT on July 10, according to Riot.
