TFT patch 14.3 is set to deploy on February 7 at 6 a.m. PST with balance changes to shake up the meta before upcoming tournaments!
After multiple patches of Set 10, Teamfight Tactics has reached a point in which some outliers stand in the way of as good of a balanced state the community could ask for. TFT patch 14.3 looks to remedy these outliers in weakness or power to create an even healthier meta for the public and upcoming tournaments. Here's everything you should know about patch 14.3, going live on February 7, roughly 6 a.m. PT in North America.
TFT patch 14.3 notable systems changes
- All players will receive the same number of items during PvE rounds
- Reduces variance for the sake of upcoming competition
- Removes overpowered gold starts
- Bigger loot reward system rework coming in patch 14.5
TFT patch 14.3 trait changes
Emo buff
- 6-piece AP increased from 0/0/10 to 0/0/20
Executioner nerf
- Critical Strike chance reduced from Up to 25/100/200% to 25/80/160%
Heartsteel nerf
- Stage 5 and 6 hearts per kill reduced from 2 to 1
- Heart multiplier increased at 10-piece from 10x to 18x
The economy trait is currently too easy to fit in the late game and allows players to scale their board in strength that other competitors are unable to match.
Punk nerf
- Base HP reduced at 6-piece from 450% to 420%
- Base AD% reduced from 45 to 42
This is a revert from the previous patch as 6 Punk is proving to be too strong.

Olaf
- Heal on-auto attack reduced from 20/25/35 to 20/25/30 at 3-star

- Ability cone damage reduced from 130/210/340 to 120/180/290
Sett already fits into many late game compositions and is an integral part of the Heartsteel line. Because of Sett's traits and his current strength, players will often play him over Zac in their final boards. These nerfs work to change his prevalence in the late game as a 3-cost frontliner.
4-cost units
Karthus
- Spell damage reduced from 175/260/580 to 160/240/540
- Ability power per cast increased from 30 to 40
This is meant to be a nerf after the successful rework of Karthus. However, there have been whispers that this is actually a buff by some tournament players practicing on Public Beta Environment (PBE).
