Heimerdinger Splash Art

The upcoming Teamfight Tactics patch 13.12 will introduce Set 9: Runeterra Reforged, and along with it sweeping changes to the mode. New traits, champions, mechanics, & more will all be coming in the next TFT patch.

Teamfight Tactics is an ever-changing and ever-growing game, one that’s comfortably set itself apart from League of Legends and proved itself to be an incredibly popular game.

Riot have even announced an open-bracket LAN event inviting any and all players around the world to test their mettle against each other. Set 9 brings yet another set of changes, almost completely changing the mode and entirely wiping the slate clean of the previous meta.

While it’s a shame we only got a single patch of Star Guardian Urgot, players are excited to see what this new set of changes will bring. Almost no item, champion, or trait is untouched.

When does Teamfight Tactics patch 13.12 Set 9 go live?

TFT patch 13.12 is set to go live on June 14, 2023. It’ll come with some server downtime and coincide with the launch of League of Legends patch 13.12.

If you’re looking to get some games in on the current set, get in fast. With the amount that’s changing, Teamfight Tactics is one step away from being an entirely different game. The patch really is that big.

TFT Set 9 comes with a ton of quality-of-life changes

Along with new mechanics, traits, champions, and item changes, there are a ton of quality of life changes that make the game much easier to play and understand than it was previously. For the sake of brevity, this set of notes will be focusing purely on the numbers and data behind the changes. To get a look at some of the more broad changes, monetization overhauls, and QoL changes, you can find our explainer on the set 9 changes here.

Strap in, this is a long one.
