Are you ready to try new comps in Teamfight Tactics? The good news is that the League of Legends Patch 9.15 will shake up the meta with the following changes. The full official patch notes can be found here on the League of Legends website. We’ll try to keep this list of buffs, nerfs and changes short and comprehensive, so let’s see what’s new in TFT with patch 9.15 – which goes live on July 31, at the same time as the changes for the classic Lol mode. If you want to see those too, head over to this article.
Before we get started, it’s worth noting that more changes will be added next week with Patch 9.15B (around August 7/8 depending on the region).
