A new season in Teamfight Tactics means that we’ve somehow got a whole bunch of brand new champions and items. Putting them all together in one coherent TFT comp might be a little trickier as you’ve now got to contend with elements, as well as the fact that everything is new again. So with the new beginning, we thought we’d once again bring you the TFT best comps list for the current patch – 9.22.

Teamfight Tactics had an overhaul with the introduction of set 2. One of the bigger changes is that Riot have now wiped every single champion origin and trait and replaced them with a brand new set. It’s time to relearn everything you know about how traits work in TFT.

Well, it turns out that Teamfight Tactics set 2 brought on so many changes that it’s the equivalent of a new game. Every champion has been altered or replaced in some fashion, meaning that the meta has been forever changed overnight. So it’s time to learn everything about TFT’s champions all over again.

It began with the Sword of the Divine, but now many more items have been changed since the introduction of TFT set 2. A whole host of new items and altered recipes mean that every, single TFT cheat sheet needs an update, in particular, the alterations to many of the Spatula based item combinations.

The latest patch for Teamfight Tactics didn’t change a lot, but there is a bit of a resurgence of the Yordles Shapeshifters comp. So to that end, we thought we’d start again with the TFT best comps list for the current patch – 9.21.

Champions did get a small tweak in the latest patch for Teamfight Tactics. It seems that Kai’Sa hasn’t had the desired effect on the meta and as such needed a bit of a boost. We’ve got the lowdown on all the updates to the TFT tier list in patch 9.20.

For almost ten years, Riot Games sat on League Of Legends alone, looking content with one of the biggest games in the world. Turns out, they’ve been busy. Riot last night announced five new games, four of them based upon the LoL. They’re making the LoL CCG Legends Of Runeterra, sportsteam sims LoL Esports Manager, fighting game ‘Project L‘, and action-RPG-ish ‘Project F‘. The fifth game is surprisingly unconnected to LoL, multiplayer FPS ‘Project A‘.

All they need now to claim full dominion over video games is a LoL battle royale and a LoL truck simulator. They announced a LoL cartoon last night too so heck, why not a LoL theme park? Have a Runeterra Cinematic Universe. Start a LoL currency. Build a floating independent nation of Runeterra on international waters. Hop to.

In last night’s flurry of announcements, League Of Legends developers Riot Games revealed another two games: some sort of action-RPG-lookin’ thing codenamed Project F, and a digital sports management sim named League Of Legends Esports Manager. They focused attention on the other announcements (their new FPS, card game, and fighting game) so you might’ve missed these two in there. Project F or Esports Manager are building upon the game that made Riot’s name, helping turn LoL into an omnigenre brand.

League Of Legends developer Riot Games are making a collectable card game called Legends Of Runeterra. I got to speak to some of the developers and do some shuffling myself at their Dublin offices a couple of weeks ago, and I ve got the scoop: Yes, there are poro cards, yes, you can build a deck to synergise with them, and yes, the board features a pettable poro. It also aims to expand the story of the League Of Legends champions, prevent a stale meta from developing, and work from a business model that expressly designs out the ability for players to become whales. And did I mention the pettable poros?

We anticipate that people will come to the game initially because players have really fond attachments to champions, and they just want to play [as them], design director Andrew Yip tells me.
