Teamfight Tactics patch 13.6 notes: Mid Set changes arrive as TFT Glitches Out

Teamfight Tactics mid-set changes are arriving in Patch 13.6, shaking up the game and introducing new systems as TFT ‘Glitches Out’.

Monsters have been on the attack for quite some time in Teamfight Tactics. So much so that it appears to have messed up the game a fair bit, as the mid-set arriving with Patch 13.6 has “Glitched Out”.

There are plenty of changes coming with the new mid-set, with both traits and units being removed and introduced to spice up the meta. In order to catch up early with all the changes, here are the patch notes for Teamfight Tactics Set 8.5: Glitched Out.

When is TFT Patch 13.6?

Patch 13.6 of TFT is expected to roll out with the main League patch on Wednesday, March 22, 2023. As per usual Oceanic servers will be the first to receive the patch, with others slowly receiving it throughout the day.

The servers will go down as the Patch is moved to the live servers, so expect some amount of downtime before 13.6 hits.

What’s changing in TFT Patch 13.6?

TFT: Glitched Out goes live

Glitched Out will be making a few key changes to the current set as we know it. These include a new form of glitched-out carousel, new traits, and units. Alongside this, we’ll be saying goodbye to about 15 units and a few traits that will be leaving Set 8 altogether.

TFT Patch 13.6 Notes

MODES

DOUBLE UP

Whilst Double Up has been an incredible mode allowing for cooperation between friends in a TFT game. The mode itself has found a problematic meta of one player running a tanky stall comp, whilst the other ran a high DPS carry comp. The tanky player would give all their items over to the DPS player, resulting in biased matchups which the DPS player would win.

From there they’d be able to bail out the tanky player, as they could hop onto their board and take down the opponent in a 2v1.

As such, Riot is looking to make changes to the way item sharing works, and have removed the ability to share items with your partner.

• Rune of Allegiances Items now pop off of units before the unit is sent to your partner.
• Rune of Allegiances is no longer granted at stages 4-3 and 6-1.
• The Lesser Rune of Allegiance now regenerates itself 5 rounds after you use it.
• After 4-1, your Lesser Rune of Allegiance upgrades to a Rune of Allegiance, and now regenerates itself 7 rounds after you use it.
• Gift Armories now offer an additional gift of the highest tier that the gift armory offers.
• Gift Armories chance at seeing the highest tier of gifts in the second gift armory reduced from 20% to 14%.

HYPER ROLL

• Hyper Roll carousels take half as long, and release the bottom half of the lobby followed by the top half.

BUGS

• Sharing is caring: Mecha PRIME fixed a bug where 5 Mech was lower HP share than 3 MechSpecial thanks (as always) to my editor
