LoL Patch 10.1 is out. Let’s get you up to speed on what's changed in Teamfight Tactics. Shall we, Summoner?
TFT Patch 10.1: In Brief
In a previous article I wrote, we said we will be dubbing the name PIB (Patch In Brief) to give you a very quick rundown on the latest patch notes for LoL. Naturally, this extends to Teamfight Tactics. You’ll always have a link to the full, detailed patch notes provided by Riot Games, should you be crazy about the numbers specifically. The idea here is to give you the rundown asap, rocky. So, let’s continue, Summoner.

In Conclusion
With Riot finally fixing the Annie bug in LoL patch 10.1, this makes dealing with her much easier than before. The addition of Leona and Karma are a wonderful mix to experiment with. I’m keen to see how the professional LoL players use them and in what way.
While I’m having fun with the Lunar Trait, I’m fully confident Riot will be changing the numbers soon – it seems like an element that can be used with any class and might create some imbalance issues, if not major ones.
The Tier changes in Patch 10.1 are welcome and will bring some much-needed balance between each tier. Well, what are you waiting for? Jump into Teamfight Tactics and give them a try! Still here? Be sure to check out the detailed patch notes here.
