Here is everything you need to know about the TFT 15.3 patch notes, live on Aug. 27.

In the Teamfight Tactics (TFT) 15.3 patch notes, Riot Games addressed some of the strongest compositions, as well as overpowered augments and items dominating the meta. Samira also received adjustments to fix a bug that prevented her ability from properly doubling Omnivamp, making her easier to take down.

Purchase Battle Pass XP

The patch notes are set to release on Aug. 27, bringing a mix of updates along with some exciting new features. One notable addition is the ability to purchase levels for your Battle Pass, which will go live on Sept. 10. Each level can be bought for 130 RP, and players can already test this feature on the Public Beta Environment (PBE).
