Teamfight Tactics Patch 13.8 brings major Ox Force and Hacker trait changes, InfiniTeam nerfs

Teamfight Tactics Patch 13.8 is a big one, with two popular trait choices getting some big changes along with a whole slew of units and hero augments getting changed to bring balance in line.

Teamfight Tactics Patch 13.6 rolled out the Glitched Out mid-set update, and, now that we’ve had some time with it, some of the new units added (and their hero augments) have been far too potent.

As a result, Patch 13.8 is a massive patch that’s targeted units that have been overwhelming the meta while buffing others that have struggled to hold their ground.

Additionally, Hacker and InfiniTeam are getting knocked down a peg to try and bring other traits like Anima Squad and Star Guardian closer to viability as a trait most of your units share. This patch is a big one. Here are the full Teamfight Tactics Patch 13.8 notes.

When is TFT Patch 13.8?

Like usual, TFT Patch 13.8 will be released alongside the main League of Legends Patch 13.8 on Wednesday, April 19. There will be a bit of server downtime before the new patch goes live.
