The detailed TFT patch notes are out for 10.2, with Assassins as big winners

 

After the patch notes for Teamfight Tactics' patch 10.2 were teased last Friday, we now know exactly how much the champions, origins, classes and items will be altered. TFT developer Stephen "Mortdog" Mortimer discussed the numbers on his stream, and shared the thoughts behind the changes coming to the client. The general thought: further encourage 'vertical' compositions—going all-in on one origin or class.

 

Assassins, whose origin buff was tuned down when the "Nocturne blender" meta was dominant, will receive a significant buff this time around. For three Assassins not a whole lot will change: their critical strike damage bonus increases from 50% to 65%. However, if you assemble six Assassins, their critical strike damage bonus goes up to a staggering 225%, up from 150%. Though the buff is quite immense and pushes the class into the top direction, Mortdog said he doesn't expect six Assassins to become a top tier build quite yet, but it should be "a more playable option."

 

For Mages, no numbers will be adjusted. Instead, they're receiving a little extra to assert dominance on the board. "It's getting the Berserker treatment," Mortdog said on stream, referring to Berserker's bonus attack damage when you've gathered six of them. For Mages, patch 10.2 will bring an extra bit of ability power, if you manage to get six of them on board. In addition to the existing 100% chance to double cast their spells, those spells will have 20 more ability power behind them.
