Teamfight Tactics patch 10.4 buffs Lucian and Singed, while hitting Crystals with the nerf hammer
Set 2 is closing in on its end in Teamfight Tactics. As the developers announced in January, Set 3 will go live somewhere around mid-March. New champions, new traits and origins and probably new items will flood the auto battler. However, until then, the development team is mostly focused on tweaking Set 2 minimally. Keep things in check, as they say, and hope the meta stays fresh. In patch 10.4, which goes live later this week, Riot Games is making very few adjustments.

Origen's jungler Xerxe: "I don't have to play the same game the other team is playing. (...) I make the meta for myself and then people have to react to it, or they will lose."
The team has been doing pretty well so far in the Spring Split. What's the atmosphere like in the group? Yeah it's been great so far, except for that one loss against Misfits, which shouldn't have hap

'Better bot lane wins?' Zven and the other bot laners across the major four are leaders of the KDA
The bot laners of each region took their spots as the leaders of KDA in their respective regions. In the LCK, LPL, LCS, and the LEC, there’s an interesting trend in data (gathered up to the 17th), which is similar across all four regions. Bot laners of each region were in 1st place in KDA, and currently, there are two players that have a perfect KDA. In the LCK, All iN, the mid laner for Afreeca Freecs is a player that currently holds a perfect KDA. Previously known as SSUN, he only played two games in the league, so this data may not hold too much meaning. Even still, All iN played Pantheon in both of his games and with a total score of 5/0/13, he holds a perfect KDA.

DIG Huni: "We've been doing quite well with Soraka in practice, so the next level is probably Sona."
Dignitas snapped its losing streak against 100 Thieves to start Week 4 of the 2020 League of Legends Championship Series Spring Split. The team got off to a hot 3-0 start, but then lost as many games in succession as other teams in the LCS began to synergize. DIG went back to the drawing board and got creative to get itself out of its funk. Ornn was drafted for Mid Laner Henrik "Froggen" Hansen, and Heo "Huni" Seung-hoon threw the LCS a curveball by locking in the infamous top lane Soraka. Dignitas' trust in innovation paid off, rallying around the Miss Fortune of rookie AD Carry Johnson "Johnsun" Nguyen for the team's fourth victory of the season. After besting 100 Thieves, Huni sat down with Inven Global's Nick Geracie to discuss the team's adjustments heading into Week 4, top lane mages, and DIG's identity amongst its LCS peers.
