TFT patch 15.4 notes

TFT patch 15.4 removes the Assassin tag and reworks Fighters by swapping Omnivamp for a scaling Attack Speed buff. The update tones down Artifacts and nerfs while slowing down combat pacing as well. Meanwhile, several completed items, including Blue Buff and Nashor’s Tooth, get targeted reworks. Prismatic Orbs, Power-Ups, and balance changes also receive notable updates.

In terms of champion updates, buffs go to Sivir, Janna, Vi, Malzahar, Solder, Ziggs, Poppy, Samira, Twisted Fate, and Zyra. Nerfs, on the other hand, go to Malphite, Senna, Udyr, K’Sante, Leona, Ryze, and Yuumi.

Below are all of the major patch 15.4 notes and details, courtesy of Riot Games.

Champion Targeting

At combat start, ranged champions now properly respect tank-targeting tiebreakers. To help with this, we’ve updated ranged champions to target before Melee champions move; this should prevent ranged champions from targeting a wrapping Fighter that would normally be protected by their adjacent Tank.

Champion Roles

Fighters
No longer gain 8-20% Omnivamp per stage.
Now gain 5-30% Attack Speed per stage.
Stage 2-6: 5/10/20/30/30% Attack Speed.
Some Fighter’s base Attack Speed have been modified to compensate.

Assassins
All Assassins have had their role changed to Fighter.
