Set 5 for LoL: TeamFight Tactics was launched in Patch 11.15 not too long ago. Now, Riot seems to make some balance changes starting with the next update, Patch 11.15b.
One of the biggest changes in Patch 11.15 is the introduction of Radiant Items, which have no apparent downsides and have essentially replaced the Shadow Items in the game.
The developers will now focus on making sure that the game is fair and balanced for everyone. That said, they’re going to start nerfing some Champions.
Champion Nerfs
Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer, Game Design Director at Riot Games and Lead Designer of Teamfight Tactics, recently tweeted about the proposed changes in the “B-patch.”
In order to give our competitive players as much notice as possible, here are the B-patch notes for Wednesday. (There will also be two bug fixes.)

Those who have played the game recently will know that the Cavalier Reroll comp has been quite strong for some time now. Sejuani and Hecarim are key Champions of this comp, so it is natural for players to assume that they are getting nerfed at some point. Well, that will finally come true in the next patch.
In Patch 11.15b, Hecarim’s Spell Healing ability has been reduced from a flat 350 to 200/225/250. While still somewhat effective at later levels, this nerf will make this ability less potent than it used to be. To cut Sejuani’s effectiveness, the mana cost for subsequent ability casts has been increased.
It would also appear that the Cavalier Reroll comp is not the only one getting nerfed. Champions like Irelia, Lucian, and Miss Fortune have also received unfavorable changes.
For example, Irelia’s attack damage has been reduced by five, and her Spell Damage Reduction Cap has been reduced to 80%. Lucian has also seen a reduction in his attack damage by five. Further, Miss Fortune’s Spell Damage has been reduced to 250/375/700.
Here are all of the Champion Changes to be implemented in the next update:
- Hecarim
- Spell Healing: Reduced to 200/225/250 from 350
- Irelia
- Attack Damage has been reduced to 65
- Spell Damage Reduction Cap has been reduced to 80%
- Sejuani
- Mana cost of her abilities has increased to 20/80
- Soraka
- Mana cost of her abilities has increased to 40/80
- Miss Fortune
- Spell Damage reduced to 250/375/700
- Lucian
- Attack Damage reduced to 70
- Archangel’s Staff
- Mana Ratio reduced to 40%
LoL TeamFight Tactics Patch 11.15b will launch tomorrow, July 28.
