TFT patch 11.10 notes: Aphelios & Darius nerfs, Yasuo & Riven buffs

TFT Set 5 has gotten off without a hitch (mostly). However, Riot are ready to tinker with some of Reckoning’s more problematic champions like Aphelios and Darius. Here’s what’s coming in the TFT patch 11.10.

TFT Set 5’s launch has been widely regarded as one of the best yet. With more options to play TFT than ever before, it’s certainly kicking off a new era in the autobattler’s history in style.

However, Riot aren’t resting on their laurels. There’s a meta to solve, and some problems to fix. They’ll do just that in TFT patch 11.10.

What’s coming in TFT patch 11.10?

Big nerfs to Aphelios after dominating meta

Aphelios has been one of the dominant forces of the TFT Set 5 meta since it launched on PBE. Riot are looking at culling his power big time in patch 11.10, targeting his abilities’ AD scaling and bonus damage to stop him from one-shotting entire teams.

Riot are also looking into Leona, Kennen, Rell, Heimerdinger, and Darius for nerfs, after some of the more utility-based champions landed a bit too well damage-wise.

Other major four-cost carries like Karma have seemingly avoided nerfs for now, though. Expect this to potentially change as the patch rolls closer.

Three-cost carries buffed: Katarina, Nidalee, Lee Sin, Riven, Yasuo

Much like last set, which had a heavy focus on four-cost carries, three-cost carries were left in the dust (except for Katarina beyblade meta). Riot are trying to avoid this again by also buffing some of the underpowered three-cost units to try and boost their carry potential.

Riven is getting extra bonus AD after using her ability at all ranks, while Katarina, Nidalee, and Yasuo will do extra damage at three-star. Lee Sin is getting extra damage at all ranks too.

The buffs should at least make these carries somewhat viable in the face of four-cost threats.

Warwick, Udyr, Aatrox, Viktor, Ivern, and Teemo are set for buffs too. With three Legionnaires in the patch notes, it’s a good time to be a main of Duelist 2.0.
