Patch 18.2 of TFT's Enchanted Wilds Set is here! Read on to learn about the most recent changes that have gone live in Teamfight Tactics.
Patch 18.2, the first Patch post-Enchanted Wilds' launch, is a big one. TFT moved to a new engine in Patch 18.1 and the reception has been cool, at best. There have been lots of complaints about FPS issues, crashes, misalignment in the game, and then there's also the problem that a large portion of cosmetics hasn't been remade in the new engine yet. Many of these issues persist, but Patch 18.2 is a first step in the right direction to fixing the problems. Lots of performance issues have been tackled, and 39 Cosmetics have been re-added to the game.
Outside of that, the patch sees a great amount of unit buffs, particularly for 5-costs, six of which are now more powerful. Only a few units have been nerfed; namely, Rengar, Master Yi, Zyra, and Riftbeasts' super tank, Sentinel. A couple of Fighter items have been buffed, as well as three Artifacts, but Emblems on the whole have been nerfed. The only exception is the Primal Emblem, which is now actually more powerful.
Finally, there have been lots of Wisp adjustments, particularly the Combat Wisps, but these were mostly price changes. Most Wisps are now slightly cheaper; so, happy spending!

Performance & Stability
Players should see better performance playing Teamfight Tactics both on PC and Mobile. For a full list of changes, you can check out the 18.2 Performance Stability Improvements section of the full patch notes.
Cosmetics Update
Riot has taken the time to once again reassure players that every cosmetic in the catalog will eventually make its way back to TFT. Reintroducing all of the cosmetics that were left behind when TFT switched to Unreal is a top priority next to the bugfixes and performance improvements.
39 Cosmetics have been added with Patch 18.2, including 10 Legendary Arenas, and several Mythic cosmetics, which seem to be the priority. Another 40 cosmetics will be added in Patch 18.3.

System Changes
