For Mortdog's explanation on all the changes, refer to his X post below.
This is meant to be MICROSCOPIC in terms of changing the meta, and mostly bug fixes.
The meta during TFT patch 14.3b should look the same as patch 14.3b, but the bug fixes and slight nerfs should nudge the game in a slightly more enjoyable and balanced direction. This is the patch that many regions will be playing either their final tournaments before regional final tournaments or their regional finals.
Upcoming tournaments on TFT patch 14.3b
- Brazil (BR) - ProLegends Finals (Regional Finals tournament)
- Latin America (LATAM) - Remix Rumble Playoffs
- Southeast Asia (SEA) - Road to SEA Finals
- Korea (KR) - East Asia Korean Qualifier
- Oceania (OCE) - Last Chance Qualifier, True Damage Cup
The above tournaments are all leading into their respective regions' regional finals, apart from Brazil. Additionally, with TFT patch 14.4 scheduled to release on February 22, it is still undetermined whether patch 14.3b or 14.4 will be the patch for Regional Final tournaments in regions around the world such as China and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
