TFT 14.4 patch rundown
As noted, this TFT update doesn’t come with a patch rundown or preview from Mortdog himself. As he previously shared, TFT 14.3 was his final rundown for a while. He’s stepping away from patch rundowns, time spent on X, and streaming due to burnout and being the target of player frustrations.
“The last few weeks, months, have been really rough in the spotlight as the target for a lot of the frustrations around TFT,” he said on April 28. “All you have to do is click on any one of my Twitter posts recently and read the replies.”
Ahead of the official release of patch 14.4, some players pieced together predictions based on the public beta environment (PBE). TFTtomus, for example, listed the PBE details. Players such as FenrirButGaming and Kitkatman111 also went over them in detail following Mortdog’s announcement about taking a break.
That’s all for now. Stick around on esports.gg for more news and updates.
