TFT patch 11.4 notes: Chosen rework, Kayle nerfs, more
Teamfight Tactics patch 11.4 is now live, and there’s plenty of changes to get used to. Riot has implemented big changes to the Chosen mechanic to reduce RNG, while almost every meta comp in the game — from Kayle to Nidalee — is getting nerfed.
WithTFT Set 4.5now in full motion, Riot have gotten down into tinkering with all of the nuances. They have seemingly taken a sledgehammer to the game though, nerfing almost everything conceivable.
From the Chosen mechanic RNG to almost every meta composition in the game, there’s a reason why streamers have coined TFT patch 11.4 as “Set 4.75.” Here’s what you need to know about the update.

TFT patch 11.4 Chosen rework reduces RNG
Riot had some big changes planned for Chosen in TFT patch 11.4. On the PBE,developer Stephen ‘Mortdog’ Mortimerexplained they were “experimenting” to try and reduce Chosen RNG.
While some of them made the cut in the end, most of them fell by the wayside. That doesn’t mean the mechanic drastically shifted in this patch.
Chosens will now be offered in 50% of shops if you don’t own one, up from 33%. This means you’re able to be a bit more selective on your rolldowns because Chosens will appear more frequently.
However, Chosens themselves will be worth less. The bonus Spell Power, Attack Damage, Mana Reduction, and Health given to Chosens has been reduced across the board.
“By toning down the power of Chosens and increasing the rate at which you see them we’re aiming to make the feel bad moment of missing your ‘just hit(s)’ less punishing,” Rodger ‘MinionsRPeople2’ Caudill said inthe patch notes.

Kayle, Yasuo, Nidalee & Neeko headline balance changes
Balance-wise, Riot have their sights set on basically every meta comp in the game. Public enemy number one, however, is Kayle.
If the Divine rework wasn’t enough onTFT patch 11.3, direct nerfs to Kayle might knock her down the tier list somewhat. She’s losing some damage at two-star, which could impact her carry ability. Oh, and 2 and 4 Divine are being hit again.
Duelist reroll with Yasuo carry is getting hit hard too. Riot is nerfing his damage at all levels, as well as the Duelist trait’s attack speed buff.
Other meta comps, including Diana reroll, Nidalee reroll, Warlords, Katarina, Shyvana-Brawler, Wukong reroll, Nasus reroll, and Zed carry are also getting nerfed. Fiora and Samira also found their way into Riot’s bad books.
On the flipside, Neeko is the big winner of TFT patch 11.4. The 3 cost Fabled Mystic is receiving bonus damage at all levels, which is a huge boon for the Vanguard Mystic players. Other Fableds Nautilus and Cho’Gath are being buffed, as well as Vanguard Braum.
Xayah, Irelia, Kennen, Olaf, Talon, Tryndamere, Yone are all being buffed, as well as Gargoyle Stoneplate, Quicksilver, and the Cultist trait.
TFT patch 11.4 additional Trait changes
Outside of the unit changes, Traits are being tweaked in this update as well. Warlord, Brawler, Elderwood, and Duelist have all been targeted to some degree.
For the Warlords, it’s nerfs across the board. Units now have reduced health along with lesser spell power. The same can be said for the Brawler as units have had health and AD lowered.
Meanwhile, Elderwood units now have less armor along with a decrease in AD and spell power to boot. Last but not least, Duelist’s AS per stack has been scaled back slightly.
