TFT patch 14.11 releases tomorrow, a day later than regular patch cycle because of Memorial Day in America.

As we get closer and closer to the Set 11 Inkborn Fables Tactician's Crown, or the Set 11 TFT world championship, the patches will start to decrease in size and scale. TFT patch 14.11 releases May 30 at approximately 6 a.m. local time across the globe.

It features a lot less changes than previous patches, gearing up to stabilize the meta and balance the game without too many drastic differences. As per usual, North America will receive the patch last due to its time zone relative to the rest of the world.

TFT patch 14.11 ranked change

  • Players Masters+ will now be able to duo queue with someone within 400LP of their own rank

Video games are more fun with your friends, and in starting from TFT patch 14.11, Masters+ players will be able to queue up with someone they want to play with!

TFT patch 14.11 trait changes

Ghostly

  • Damage increased per ghost at 8 Ghostly from 32% to 36%

This Ghostly buff only affects 8 Ghostly, so it shouldn't change much for the trait in the large majority of games.

Trickshot

  • Ricochet damage increased from 40/55% to 40/60%

With the prevalence and strength of Ashe, Lee Sin, Lillia, Morgana, and Syndra as carries in the meta, the Trickshot composition is receiving a buff to compete with its 4-cost and 5-cost carry counterparts.

This is technically a revert to 4 Trickshot's patch 14.9 damage numbers, but many other compositions are relevant in the meta now. We shouldn't see a Trickshot-dominated meta solely due to this change.

TFT patch 14.11 champion changes

1-cost

Darius (Nerf)

  • Spell damage reduced from 200/300/450% to 190/285/450%

Darius is the best AD item holder for duelists in the early game and fills his role a little too well as a 1-cost unit. He is being taken down a notch as it is likely his popularity and presence in that role will still remain the same.

Garen (Nerf)

  • Mana pool increased from 30/70 to 30/80

With the dominance of Storied Champion during patch 14.10b, the mana pool is being reverted to 14.9 numbers in order to tone down the "hero" augment power level.

Kha'Zix (Small Buff)

  • Spell attack damage% (AD) increased at 3-star from 340% to 350%

Sivir (Small Buff)

  • Ability AD% increased at 3-star from 100% to 110%
  • Ability attack speed (AS) buff at 3-star increased from 25% to 30%

Yasuo (Nerf/Buff)

  • Passive Damage while shielded changed from 40/40/45% to 30/45/70%

Yasuo's effectiveness is being decreased at 1-star but increased at 2 and 3-star.

2-cost

Aatrox (Small Buff)

  • Ability heal increased from 120/140/180% to 120/150/200%

Gnar (Buff)

  • Max stacks increased from 40 to 45

Senna (Small Buff)

  • Ability AD% increased at 3-star from 240% to 245%
  • Ability AD Ally Buff% increased at 3-star from 30% to 35%

Qiyana (Nerf)

  • AD reduced from 55 to 50

3-cost

Diana (Small Buff)

  • Ability damage reduction increased at 3-star from 30% to 35%
  • Ability On-Hit damage increased at 3-star from 170% to 180%

Yone (Small Buff)

  • Ability shield increased at 3-star from 350% to 375%
  • Ability damage increased at 3-star from 175% to 180%

Nautilus (Nerf)

  • Mana pool increased from 60/160 to 60/170

Nautilus is one of the premiere CC (crowd control) frontliners in both Ashe carry compositions and also Lillia carry compositions. Nautilus's ability to get his first cast off as well as subsequent casts is being reduced due to its effectiveness in the current meta.

Syndra (Buff)

  • Number of starting orbs reduced from 7/7/10 to 6/6/10
  • Spell damage increased from 40/60/180% to 45/70/180%

The starting damage of Syndra is being nerfed at 1-star, but her damage numbers are otherwise being buffed so that she is generally on the same playing field and power level as other compositions outside of highroll situations.

While she was nerfed last patch, the rise in popularity of other compositions made it easier to pilot Syndra carry compositions without others contesting. The changes proved to be not enough as she was still seen to be too powerful in the meta at times.

5-cost

Lissandra (Buff)

  • Spell damage increased from 640/960/8888% to 660/990/8888%

While Lissandra has been one of the strongest legendary units in previous patches, outside of fringe cases, she has fallen from her peak. Some power is being granted to her again to help her compete with some of her legendary unit counterparts.

The Teamfight Tactics should remain relatively similar with some noticeable power shifts in 4-cost carry compositions. However, these shifts should be a step closer to parity and play-rate of these compositions should still be high. Hope you enjoy the next few weeks of TFT patch 14.11!

That's all for now. Stay tuned to esports.gg for the latest TFT news and updates.
