Teamfight Tactics – TFT: Details of changes in version 10.17

The Binary Star appeared in patch 10.13 and wasn’t exactly a very popular Galaxy either. So it will be on the cutting board in the new version 10.17 and give way to a whole new Galaxy with quite interesting effects.

Besides, due to season 4 of Teamfight Tactics – TFT will appear in 1 month. So there won’t be too much of a change generals and gear to stir meta like copies update old.​

1. All players start with 1 Gold Shovel

Is one of the galaxies promised to debut from the early days of season 3. However, it seems that the residual power of the Tribe/System items from season 1-2 is still too strong, so Riot Games decided to keep this galaxy until the last moments of season 3.

Basically, the meta of Teamfight Tactics – TFT has been very different in this season 3, and the Golden Shovel is no longer the number 1 priority item. However, having 1 Gold Shovel available from the start will encourage players to think of diverse Tribe/System combo combinations or keep them for pairing Natural Armor (if lucky) later.

2. Archer

10/18%-9/16% damage per square away from opponent

One nerf enter formation The top of the meta is now ADC – Astronaut or Gunner – Pioneer. Despite losing a little damage, the discomfort of this squad is still there with the constant slow from Teemo as well as the toughness of the Vanguard. Perhaps the ranking of this squad will drop a few places, not too long in the meta.

3. Hero 1-2 gold

​

• Jarvan from 45 to 40 armor

• Poppy from 30 to 35 magic resistance

• Blitzcrank from 45 to 60 armor

A little change for tank champions, notably Blitzcrank gained a lot of armor, making him a better tank champion instead of staying in the backline to destroy the enemy squad.

4. General 3 gold

​

• Cassiopeia 3 stars magic damage increased from 3000 to 3500

• Neeko 3 stars magic damage reduced from 500 to 450

• Master Yi magic damage reduced from 75/100/150 to 70/95/145

• Shaco armor reduced from 25 to 20

Some light nerfs for 3-star mains, among them the buffed Cassiopeia can help the Mysterious – Vanguard squad return to the meta.

5. General 4-5 gold

​

• Riven 800 -> 850 health, 20-30 magic resistance, minor attack speed ratio bug fixed

• Gangplank 550/700/9001 -> 525/675/9001 magic damage​

• Xerath 1 star magic damage 300->320​​

Riven gets a little buff to stay in line with his 4 money mainstay, while Gangplank and xerath both get the right buffs/nerfs for more balance.

6. Equip

​

• Fist of Justice : 50% -> 45% damage/heal

• Colossal Power: Reduces stacks to 25 (but still takes 2% damage per stack and 25 armor/magic resistance at max stacks)​

In general, it’s natural for Fist of Justice to be nerfed when this item proves to be too strong after being buffed buffs in the last version. But there is a strange thing that the Giant Power suddenly ate nerf even though this is only a situational item and is rarely prioritized for pairing.​
