The biggest winners and losers of Teamfight Tactics 10.16
Astros have now landed in a downgraded galaxy.
With over a month left for the Galaxies II Pass, Riot has done some tweaks to a few underrated compositions, keeping them viable in Teamfight Tactics’ current meta.
A few items have also received some much-needed upgrades while old-school traits Chrono, Space Pirate, and Rebels get a bump in their late-game bonuses.
Winners: Items
With the game starting to plateau in terms of champion changes and such, Riot has done a good deed in more item buffs in the recent patches. With items like Seraph’s Embrace and Spear of Shojin no longer being a go-to build, these changes in a handful of items can expand the tactician’s possibilities in improving their gameplay with a big inventory.
Loser: Astro Snipers
Late-game trait Astro gets a slight nerf on two key players, Teemo and Bard. Bard now has less passive mana in his first level while Teemo gets a decrease on his attack speed. Another fellow late-game Sniper, Jhin, gets a downgrade on his initial power.
Winner: Chrono, Space-Pirate, and Rebels
These oldies still remain goldies with the newest patch of TFT. Though being a meta-monster in the first Galaxies set, Chrono has fallen off the spaceship with the strong crowd control in the game. With that, the developers have significantly buffed its trait bonuses if you hit 6 or 8 unit requirement.
As for the other two forgotten traits, Space Pirates now have a chance to produce more loot while Rebels have a solid buff on their shields. Gangplank also receives a big buff on his Orbital Strike, giving Space Pirates something of worth in the late-game, while Jinx now packs some more initial attack damage.
Loser: Vanguards
With Dark Stars and tanky compositions coming back in the latest patches, they proved to be a bit too out of this world with its added protection. Luckily enough, Riot has assured that players will not be guaranteed the impeccable 1000 bonus armor on its highest level.
Vanguard Bonus Armor: 125/300/1000 ⇒ 125/300/900
