A new patch for League of Legends means a new patch for Riot’s auto battler Teamfight Tactics. Patch 13.15 brings about changes to several augments, traits, and units as Riot attempts to reduce the power of the fast 2-star 5-cost strategy that has become prevalent.

Want to catch up with all the new changes? Here are the patch notes for 13.15 of Teamfight Tactics.

When is TFT Patch 13.15 going live?

As per usual, the Teamfight Tactics patch will release at the same time as League of Legends Patch 13.15. This will be on August 2nd, 2023. Expect a brief period of server downtime before the patch goes live.

What’s changing in TFT Patch 13.15?

Aurelion Sol Legend nerfs

The fast 8 strategy with Aurelion Sol has become one of the strongest out there at the moment. Many players are lose streaking early and hitting level 8 as fast as they can in order to two-star a 5-cost unit such as Ahri. Riot is looking to taper down this style of play quite a bit, by nerfing his third augment choice.

Piltover rework

Piltover has been the premier economy trait for Set 9. Players would create a T-Hex and begin building charges by lose streaking, then would transfer the charges into power for their T-Hex. Alternatively, players could sell their T-Hex which would consume the power for various loot. However many players have disliked selling the T-Hex, so Riot has removed that completely in the new Piltover rework coming in Patch 13.15.
