Things are going fast with Teamfight Tactics, and updates are constantly raining on the Convergence. However, this one is kind of special since it adds to the game a new rarity system for loot boxes: the Mystery Boxes. Yeas, you read it well: you might have the chance to drop an Epic loot box instead of the rubbish Common on. Some might argue that this change is another RNG factor within a game environment that's already swarmed with it, and they might not be completely wrong about that. The question remains and requires further testing...
You might have noticed that Demons were lately ruling the Convergence — since almost all Tier S compositions were playing around them. Well, things might change quickly since Patch 9.18 brings a lot of balance changes. Traits, champions, items — we summarize everything in this article.
This patch is going to shake things up, so get ready to re-learn (once again) how the meta works!
New Soundtrack
If you're playing to Teamfight Tactics since the beta release, you have perhaps noticed that the soundtrack is always the same. However, this is going to change! Following patch 9.18, a brand new set of studio-recorded soundtracks will replace the synthesized sounds we were used to. Read on!
Bug Fixes
Items
• Darkin’s tooltip now properly reflects the extra mana it grants.
• Grievous Wounds tooltips now properly state that they reduce healing by 80% rather than 100%.
• Frozen Mallet’s tooltip now properly reflects the extra health it grants.
• Luden’s Echo now properly hits the main target of an ability.
• Zeke’s Herald will no longer give their buffs to enemy team units if re-enabled after Hextech.
Champions
• Brand's ability sometimes bounced on more targets it was supposed to. The bug is fixed — which means Brand got a kind of a nerf.
• Evelynn will no longer be able to escape the root using her ability.
• Shyvana will now dash in place rather than lose all of her mana without transforming.
• Pantheon and Vi will not cast their abilities while rooted.
• Khazix’s ability now always deals true damage if 3 Void is active.
• Morgana's ability will now work consistently on isolated summoned minions and neutral monsters.
• Fixed a bug where Rek’Sai was healing for half the intended amount.
Starting with patch 9.19, a new item component will be introduced to Teamfight Tactics — meaning that eight new combined items will soon be available! Sword of the Divine has been replaced, Infinity Edge reworked — item changes will swarm the coming patches!
