TFT Patch 10.22 to feature Dazzler rework, Morgana & Sett buffs, more
Riot GamesTFT Patch 10.21 featured a major rework to Divine, making it one of the strongest comps in the game. Could the same happen to Dazzler after TFT Patch 10.22? There’s potential, with the trait set to be the big talking point of the update.
The previous TFT Fates update drastically shook up the meta. Elderwood-Mages and Brawler-Ashe are out, Divine is the new meta composition everyone is running.
However, could there be some changes to that power balance in TFT Patch 10.22? One of Divine’s biggest counters, Dazzler, is set to get a huge buff in a trait rework. It might not be enough to make Dazzler OP, but it could certainly hinder the meta comp.
Here’s everything you need to know about TFT Patch 10.22, which is set to go live on October 28.
Riot GamesDazzler to cut up to 80% total attack damage after rework
Dazzler looked like one of the more interesting traits in TFT Fates, however it’s proven to be a relative flop compared to some more powerful counterparts. It’s much more efficient going Vanguard or Mystic for defensive traits than just slamming Dazzler in.

However, there might be a real reason to pursue Dazzler 4 after TFT Patch 10.22. The trait has been reworked so the more units you have on board, the stronger the attack damage reduction.
At two units, enemies will have their attack damage reduced by 50% for eight seconds — a buff on the current Dazzler 2. The big buff comes at four though, reducing enemy AD by a whopping 80% for eight seconds.
If you’re struggling against Duelist, Divine, Hunter, or any AD-centric compositions, Dazzler could be your get out of jail free card.
Riot GamesRiot targets five-costs again with Lee Sin, Kayn, Lillia nerfs
Traits for the most part though haven’t been the biggest issue with TFT Fates. It’s the champions themselves. Power picks like Ahri, Jinx, and Sett have been way more potent than an overpowered trait.
Riot have taken notice of this, and are going to further act on it in TFT Patch 10.22. They’ve got Kayn, Lee Sin, and Lillia in their sights for nerfs.
Kayn’s Shadow Assassin (blue) form will do less bonus damage. Lee Sin’s stun will be cut drastically at one and two-star, so your units have a chance of fighting back. Lillia’s sleep is also doing less damage late too.
Sett will be on the good side of history this time though. After his huge mana nerf in TFT Patch 10.20, Riot are giving The Boss some love with extra damage on his slam.
Outside of the aforementioned changes, Riot are targeting a few specific champions. Vayne, Morgana, Vi, Xin Zhao, Evelynn, and Nunu are getting buffed. Divine is also set to be nerfed, even after the hotfix went live.
