TFT patch 18.2 notes

Several champions have buffs in TFT patch 18.2, including Akali, Camille, Leona, Varus, Warwick, Yunara, and so much more. Meanwhile, champion nerfs go to Rengar, Sentinel, and Master Yi. In terms of adjustments, they go to the Coven Acolyte and Magic Roll augments plus the Edge of Night item. Other notable changes include lower costs for many Combat Wisps.

Above are all of the highlights. According to the TFT patch 18.2 rundown, this update’s goal is to address some weaknesses. While the first patch had several viable 4-costs, the other options were left behind.

“We had a bunch of small changes, mainly nerfing Cassio and Cinderling, with very tiny nerfs to the 4-costs, and then suddenly a lot of things got exposed, which is like, ‘Hey, these cost buckets, 1, 2, and 5-costs, aren’t that good,'” Tim “Truexy” Jiang said. “Everyone is a lot poorer when units are not as strong, which means that you kind of have to commit early because you don’t have the money to switch to a new comp.”

Therefore, patch 18.2 includes some economy adjustments, conditional systems, plus nerfs to emblems, artifacts, and augments.
