Inkborn Fables has received its fourth update! Read on to learn about all the changes that have gone live earlier this week in Teamfight Tactics.
In a Nutshell
Patch 14.10 is a buff-happy patch! Ten different Traits have gotten buffed, including a much-needed Exalted buff to encourage players to try out Inkborn Fables' unique trait. Porcelain and Trickshot, some of the most dominant Traits of the past couple of patches, have received small nerfs, on the other hand.
Annie, Sylas, and Gnar have all gotten pretty hefty nerfs to remove them from the throne. On the other hand, expect to see more Kindreds and Ahris, and therefore, perhaps another Dryad and/or Fated Renaissance. Lissandra has gotten a small rework - now no longer displacing enemies after stunning them, which in addition to the Porcelain buff, may mean she will be far less dominant.
A plethora of items have gotten buffs, especially a large amount of Artifacts and three Support items. Moreover, 11 Augments have gotten buffed, including two trait-specific augments. Try pivoting to Ghostly or Sniper this patch if you do see Haunted House or Long Shot in your next few games!

Prismatic Orbs
