Teamfight Tactics 13.19 B Patch Notes: Major Darkin Bug Fix
Another patch for Teamfight Tactics comes another hotfix although this time, it was planned before the patch even came out. It was announced on Wednesday, September 27th by Lead Game designer for TFT, Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer that TFT Patch 13.19 would be getting a b-patch not because the meta is in a state of emergency, but instead to fix another other issue with the game.
Mortdog mentioned that over the past weekend, they found a game-warping bug that caused the Darkin trait to do a lot more damage than intended specifically with Naafiri. The reason why this was not included in the actual 13.19 patch which was just released on Wednesday was that doing a micropatch after a patch has been finalized but not yet pushed to the liver servers, is a costly expenditure and in this case, the bug was already on the live servers in Patch 13.18 but didn't catch on. This led the team at Riot Games to bank on it going undiscovered until Thursday so they can Instead, opt for a safer B-Patch which is the cause for this update.
This bug isn't the only thing being fixed as it also lets the balance team tinker with some overperformers to keep this patch healthy as the first big event of the TFT Set 9.5 update kicks off this weekend with the Noxus Cup. Samira, Fiora and Cho’Gath get some nerfs while Aphelios and Azir see some small buffs in order to get the meta in a good spot before the big event. There are also a few augment changes as well.
Here is a complete run-down of all the changes in the TFT 13.19 B-Patch which is now live as of the posting of this article.
