Patch 16.5 of TFT's Lore & Legends Set is here! Read on to learn about the most recent changes that have gone live in Teamfight Tactics.
Patch 16.5 is a hefty patch, bringing over 30 Augment changes and more than 25 changes to individual units. Most of the unit changes are buffs, aimed at putting a little more pep into some of the underutilized champions of the set. Namely, tier 2 and tier 3 units have received buffs aplenty.
Traits have received only a handful of changes, with Demacia now being a touch less tanky than before, while Ixtal's reward requirements have increased, and one of their quest rewards has diminished. While Noxus and Void have been buffed, Bel'Veth and Swain are two of the very few nerfed units for this patch, so you'll have to take the good with the bad.
