Patch 9.15 just hit the live servers of Teamfight Tactics a few days after being teased by Riot Mort. From champions to items balances, the least we can say is that the current meta is once again upside down. Demons have been hit by a massive nerf, while Knights got a great buffing rework.
It's still too early to claim the meta is a tank one, but something in us smells that Brawlers and Knights will soon spread and swarm the ladder as Demons did last week.
