We’re parting ways with Loot Eggs. Since the addition of Treasure Realms and the Rotating Shop, Eggs have been all but absent from our cosmetics’ systems. We’re finally getting around to our spring cleaning and doing away with the loot system that’s existed in odd places for Mobile and PC players alike, which’ll save us time on the tech upkeep side of things, and keep cosmetics for TFT in a more intuitive TFT-focused space (Rotating Shop, Pass, etc). With eggs going away, we’ll be sending out an in-client message to existing players who have unopened eggs in their inventories 30 days prior to the auto-opening, and again after the eggs have been opened. If you want the experience of cracking these eggs before they auto-open, consider doing so by March 5th. On March 5th, eggs will be automatically opened, granting you the content they’d contain. In situations where you own all content that egg offers, the eggs will instead grant 50 Treasure Tokens, enough for one pull on a Treasure Realm of choice. Exact distribution and timing will be different for our CN region; please refer to regional guidelines for more information.

We’ve caught a bug with Diversified Portfolio that had it granting more gold than intended. To fix the bug, we’re temporarily reverting our Diversified Portfolio buff from last patch.

How much bonus AD? A 5-second stun? What is this, Festival of Urf?

We’re adjusting the odds of our opening Encounters to make the more swingy ones less frequent as we approach the more competitive part of the set.

We’re making sure that when you’re offered an Emblem Augment, it’s relevant to what you’re playing.

Removing the Chem-Baron Emblem from Augments (see Augment section) allows us to balance the trait without needing to account for the extreme high rolls (Emblem start + 1-2 3 costs), which balancing around made the trait too hard to play in non-high roll situations. With that out of the way, we can allow the higher breakpoints to provide even more Shimmer.We’re shipping a few small buffs to verticals that have been oh-so-close to meta, but have been just a bit weak. Dominator, Emissary (4), Pit Fighter, and Rebel are all getting buffs!Experiment Emblem provides value similar to a Tactician’s Crown with half the cooking implements. Trimming back some power here, and with an Urgot nerf later on, should keep this lab experiment well regulated.

Re-roll Draven has seen better days, but a 10% AD ratio buff at three-stars (where units have a lot of AD) should help us remember just who our favorite axe bro is—it started with a ‘D’ right? Was it Darius?

Even with nerfs last patch, Urgot’s chewing through full tanks like a boy on a yeti eating a big dragon (that’s a Dragonlands reference for the knowers, but for the non-knowers it’s a forbidden reference to a Nunu comp that reigned supreme for a patch).

Cassiopeia has yet to find her moment this set. I guess there’s no better time than the Year of the Snake for her to slither into Sssssss-tier.

We’ve got a decent buff for Ambessa at one and two-stars, and a much larger one for her at three-stars. We’re making some adjustments to the good (⇒) doctor to make him scale less with max HP (read Bruiser Mundo nerf) and make Mundo without Bruiser Emblem better (+6 Armor/MR)With her three traits and AOE stun, Elise has her hands in just about every comp. It’s a good thing she has eight of them.

Caitlyn is receiving a small nerf after her bugfix in 13.4, and a much smaller (impact wise) one here. LeBlanc is the capstone for the popular Sorcerer comps tearing up our lobbies with magic and mayhem—wait, wrong set, I mean tearing up our lobbies Into the Arcane—yeah, that totally works.

Chem-Baron Crest and Crown have been removed to make way for some trait rebalancing (see traits). There are now NO ways to get a Chem-Baron Emblem as it’s also excluded from things like Wandering Trainer. We also have a new (kinda) Augment, in Table Scraps. We had Table Scraps during PBE for the set, but it was far too powerful to release to live, so we’ve added a few restraints for it to come to live now!

We’ve made a pass on our Radiant Items to polish up the ones that haven’t been glowing as brightly as we’d like.

Small, like this section.

I see other players have also gotten third with Twitch 3.

We’ve seen the combat pacing for the Revival be a bit faster than we’d like, and a lot of this is due to the damage our strongest traits/champs can pump out. So as with the rest of our Revival changes, we’ll be focusing on nerfs here with the occasional buff to make something like The Endbringer or a huge Fortune cashout feel better.

In addition to focusing our nerfs on lowering damage to slow combat pacing, we’re also giving the set a bit more modern love with changes like a reduced Rakan and Pyke CC duration. And Yes, we have several nerfs directed at the S-tier comps: Assassins, Sharpshooters, and Kayles.
