Star Guardian Syndra and Project Irelia for Teamfight Tactics

Riot Games

Teamfight Tactics (TFT) Patch 10.14 is here, and there’s some major changes on the way. Star Guardians are being targeted for a mini-rework, and troublesome Battlecast champion Urgot is also being updated to “feel more fair” to play against.

TFT Patch 10.14 is a big one in helping introduce new compositions to the meta. Focusing on major buffs to some undervalued champions, as well as nerfing what’s popular, Riot are trying to shake up what’s possible in the League of Legends-inspired autobattler.

There are two major points to focus on in this update. Star Guardian is getting overhauled, while Urgot is also the target of major changes. That’s only the tip of the iceberg though, with over 20 more champions being altered.

Star Guardian trait nerfed, six champions buffed

Star Guardian is getting an overhaul on Patch 10.14. While the trait overall has been really strong in later stages of the game, the champions associated with it have fallen flat. To fix this, Riot is redistributing power from the trait to the champions themselves.

Zoe, Poppy, Syndra, Neeko, Soraka, and Janna are all getting mana buffs, while Star Guardian’s mana restore is getting nerfed.

On top of these mana changes, Syndra is getting a damage buff, while Neeko’s armor is also being increased.

“Our goal with the Star Guardian changes that we’re testing is to keep the Star Guardian comp at a similar power level, but pull power out of the Trait and put it back into the Champions, so that they can succeed in other compositions,” said Matthew ‘Wittrock’ Wittrock, set designer for TFT.

Urgot changes to “feel more fair”

Urgot is arguably the most infuriating unit to play against in TFT history. His one-shot execute has been deemed “unfair” by players, who loathe every time their carry gets gobbled up by the five-cost Battlecast Protector.

In Patch 10.14, Riot are trying to introduce more counterplay and fairness to Urgot’s play. His ultimate will be easier to counter by positioning correctly, and Guardian Angel will now stop the execute.

Riot is also scaling the time-to-kill from a flat 1.5 seconds to three seconds at one-star down to one second at three-star to make Urgot worth investing in.

Urgot will “feel more fair” to play against after his TFT Patch 10.14 changes.

New Dwarf Planet galaxy reduces board size

As always, a new Teamfight Tactics patch equals a new galaxy. The Dwarf Planet galaxy will be joining the others on Patch 10.14, and it does basically as described ⁠— dwarfs each planet.

Everyone’s boards will shrink when you spawn onto a Dwarf Planet game. The back and front row will be removed, making each player’s board only two rows deep. This is even smaller than Set 1’s boards, which featured a three-row setup.

Players will also be saying farewell to the Littler Legends galaxy, which reduced players’ health at the start of a game. This is the last of the HP-altering galaxies, meaning every galaxy from here on out will have you starting with 100 HP.

On top of the aforementioned changes, a plethora of other balancing measures are being implemented. Ashe, Irelia, Jarvan IV, Jhin, Karma, Mordekaiser, Rakan, Shaco, Xayah, and Yasuo are all being buffed. Cybernetic, Sorcerer, Aurelion Sol, Ezreal, Fizz, Jinx, Riven, Vayne, Vi, and Viktor will be nerfed.

Cybernetics are being nerfed again on Patch 10.14.
