TFT patch 11.12 notes: Katarina & Riven nerfs, new trait tiers

TFT patch 11.12 is here, and it’s time to chase some new ultra-powerful traits. Riot is stretching out the power of spatula items with new trait tiers, as well as nerfing some big three-star carry comps like Katarina and Riven.

If you ever wanted to make 4 Revenant or 9 Skirmisher in TFT Reckoning, you’ll now be able to after TFT patch 11.12. The addition of new “Chase” traits in the update will shake up the power of spatula items, with some pretty insane rewards if you manage to hit. That’s not all though, with some key unit balancing coming as new carries like Katarina and Riven decimate the meta. Here’s what you need to know. https://twitter.com/TFT/status/1400965594254503936

What’s coming in TFT patch 11.12?

New “Chase” traits for Skirmisher, Dragonslayer, more

The big change of TFT patch 11.12 is the introduction of more “Chase” traits. You will only be able to achieve these ultra-powerful upgrades with spatula items, but if you do find them, they’re worth it.

Riot are keeping an eye on the numbers in case any shenanigans happen, but given how unlikely it’ll be to hit these powerful breakpoints. https://twitter.com/Mortdog/status/1400834185145643014

Top lane menace Riven is one of the most popular champions in League of Legends.

Meta comps Katarina, Riven, Kayle take a hit

Riot madean attempt to shift power away from four-cost carriesby buffing some variations of the three and five-cost ones. However, they went a bit too far with a few of them: namely Katarina, Kayle, and Riven. In patch 11.12, they’ll be brought back in line. Katarina’s damage is being lowered at three-star, and the same goes for Riven’s attack damage bonus.

Ziggs, Brand, Hecarim, and Nunu are all set for nerfs too, and so is the Abomination trait.
