Set 16, Lore & Legends, has received its very first major update! Read on to learn about all the changes that have gone live last week in Teamfight Tactics.
After a lengthy holiday break, TFT is finally receiving a new major update just as League of Legends starts its new Season as well. This is Set 16's first real update so it's looking to be ambitious and solve all the problems that might have cropped up during the first few weeks after launch.
With that in mind, there's a lot of champion changes bundled into Patch 16.2; equal parts buffs, equal parts nerfs. Surprisingly, not a lot has changed for any Trait overall, though Bilgewater has been, understandably, toned down for the time being.
Tank Items, on the whole, have been buffed quite heavily, as have all the Emblem items. Emblems will now grant a greater array of stats, bringing them closer to the level of power a traditional core item has.

Opening Encounters
A new Opening Encounter is being added to Teamfight Tactics! To make room, the likelihood of encountering every other Encounter has gone down by 0.2%. Additionally, the Teemo, Draven, and Lissandra Encounters have been made extra less frequent.

Emblems
All Emblems have been buffed in Patch 16.2! Emblems will now be a lot closer in power to core items (though still slightly weaker) so that slamming an Emblem, even when you’re not planning on running a vertical comp, still feels like a good option when a better one isn’t available. Origin Emblems received bigger buffs than Class Emblems on average.
