TFT Boosters comment and opinion
Patch 9.18 introduced a lot of changes to Teamfight Tactics. We hear opinions from our TFT Boosters that it is now a “new game”.
In TFT Boosters opinion, the change in the balance of items falling out is very pleasing for every player, while the raised threshold for reaching next levels is troubling. It follows that the early game compositions will be stronger and they can be very strong in TFT Ranked Games.
An interesting buff for wilds confirms the previous sentence, our TFT Boosters inform that Yordle are now completely countered by Wilds, so a composition of our little heroes can be unplayable.
Predictions of our TFT Boosters came true (link here), Pantheon was OP, his stats were reduced as soon as he was released to our Teamfight Tactics arena, and in this Patch 9.18, he will be a little weaker, but according to one of our TFT Boosters, he will still be strong 😉
