TFT patch 14.4 notes, release date, and more

A new Teamfight Tactics (TFT) update is almost here, and this time, it includes the Set Revival: Remix Rumble game mode and more. It should be noted, however, that Stephen "Mortdog" Mortimer from Riot Games won't be posting a patch rundown. During a livestream, he revealed that the 14.3 rundown was his final one for a while.

The next TFT patch is set to arrive on May 14. Ahead of its release, some players have pieced together what the update might include based on the public beta environment (PBE).

The following early patch notes from TFTtomus are based on the PBE. Meanwhile, folks such as FenrirButGaming and Kitkatman111 also went over them following Mortdog's announcement about taking a break.

We'll update this piece with the official highlights and final details once they're available as well.

Several champions are getting buffs in TFT patch 14.4. These include Brand, Elise, Illaoi, and Skarner, with reduced mana costs and increased durability or damage. Meanwhile, attack damage and ability improvements are going to Kog'Maw, Miss Fortune, Renekton, and Zeri. As for Naafiri, Neeko, Twisted Fate, and Vex, they're getting nerfs to reduce their scaling, damage, or utility. In terms of Kobuko he's getting an increase to the duration of his Phase 2 shield.

Next, the Cypher, Bastion, and Techie traits are set to receive buffs while Divinicorp champions and bonus scaling may see improvements across multiple tiers. Marksman, Nitro, and Rapidfire traits gain stronger damage scaling, Street Demon faces slight nerfs to its overall bonuses, and several other traits, including A.M.P., Vanguard, and Dynamo, are also getting balance updates.

In terms of item changes, they pertain to buffs for Emblems like Bastion, Dynamo, Marksman, and Slayer, each gaining improved stats. Next, Manazane gets nerfed across mana, attack damage, and attack speed. As for Flux Capacitor, it has a small boost to attack damage.

As noted, this TFT update doesn't come with a patch rundown or preview from Mortdog himself. As he previously shared, TFT 14.3 was his final rundown for a while. He's stepping away from patch rundowns, time spent on X, and streaming due to burnout and being the target of player frustrations.

"The last few weeks, months, have been really rough in the spotlight as the target for a lot of the frustrations around TFT," he said on April 28. "All you have to do is click on any one of my Twitter posts recently and read the replies."
