The micro-patch 9.15b follows the adjustments brought by Patch 9.15.
In a similar way to the to patch 9.14 and 9.14b, the micro-patch 9.15b brings some adjustments to Teamfight Tactics in order to be ready to deploy patch 9.16. We're all waiting for the four new Hextech Champions that are currently tested on PBE alongside several features brought by the patch 9.16.
However, we must admit that the current meta — heavily focused on Karthus, Draven & Rengar — needed some tweaks and modifications to welcome properly four new champions and a new trait. Sadly, we won't see a Draven nerf this week, but the addition of the Hextech trait to the game might help resolve the problem of these two-stars three-items solo 1v9 Draven.

After a week of complete dominance, the Demon trait receives a major nerf, while the Knight trait benefits from a rework that buffs it significantly.
