What’s changing TFT patch 14.19?

Faerie Nerfs

If you’ve been playing any Teamfight Tactics for the last patch and a bit, it’s highly likely you’ve run into Faerie. The comp is incredibly powerful at the moment, resulting in near-unkillable Rakans and Kalistas decimating your team. Therefore Riot is taking it down a notch in this patch.

Other balance changes

Alongside nerfs to Faerie comes an assortment of other balance changes. This includes nerfs to Ziggs and Hecarim, and buffs to several other units, augments, and traits.
