Teamfight Tactics Patch 14.2
Teamfight Tactics Patch 14.2 notes and details were released Tuesday, Jan. 23 at 2 p.m. ET detailing a wave of changes coming to the popular auto-battler.
TFT Patch 14.2 introduces new Chibi Tacticians, the Lunar Festival and Set 3.5 Revival: Galaxies game mode. There will be plenty of themed cosmetics for players to earn alongside new Event Passes. There will be a Lunar Festival Pass alongside the Remix Rumble Act 2 Pass. The Loadout Randomizer is also here allowing players to shuffle which Tactician, Arena and Boom they have each game.
Though, what most players are focused on are balance changes. There are some system updates, Headliner changes plus buffs and nerfs to units and augments. Here's the full list of balance changes in TFT Patch 14.2.
