What’s changing in TFT Patch 14.7?
Nerfs across the board
Several units and traits are being nerfed in this patch, TFT is in a reroll meta at the moment, with comps like Bard Reroll, Kog’Maw reroll, and Caitlyn Senna Reroll dominating the meta. As such Riot is looking to cut these down to size a bit, nerfing their units or traits.
Sentinels
Instead of training dummies, Riot is introducing Sentinels that will help fight for the player. Not only do they tank and hold items like regular training dummies, but they can fight back and also have their own unique ability, making them a welcome addition to anyone’s army.
