After a series of edits in the recent version 14.8, the meta of TFT has changed dramatically as the reroll gameplay has been greatly limited. Currently, only the Forest Spirit squad with the main Gnar and Kindred are still able to survive. Meanwhile, half of the top teams in the current meta are dependent on 4-money mains such as Ashe, Kai'Sa, Kayn…
Among the 8 squads rated by Tftactics as S tier (extremely strong) in the current meta, there are 4 squads that use 4 coins as their main force.
Basically, the Ky Ngo mechanism along with many upgrades that bring a large amount of economy has helped players upgrade their squad quite easily. Even according to the revelation of the TFT Project Director himself – Riot Mortdog, 4-cost and 3-star champions are appearing too often and negatively affecting the game. So in version 14.9 (updated next week), Riot will have a seemingly small change but it will have a huge impact on the TFT meta.
Riot Mortdog revealed: “In both Ranked and Perfect Couple modes of TFT, 4-cost and 3-star champions are appearing too often and have a negative impact on the game. We will have an edit in version 14.9 to resolve the issue in both of these game modes.”
Specifically, the rate of 4-money champions appearing at levels 8 and 9 will decrease from 22/35% to 20/30% from the upcoming version 14.9. This reduced rate will be transferred to the 2 gold (at level 8) and 1 gold (at level 9) champion groups. According to calculations from experts, in the context of regular matches, the actual rate for gamers to upgrade the desired 4-money general will be reduced by up to 10%, not just 2-5% as changed. above.
The rate of 4-money champions appearing at levels 8 and 9 will be nerfed from 22/35% to 20/30%, in addition, the amount of experience required to upgrade from level 8 to 9 will also increase from 72 to 80.
Although Riot does not directly edit champion parameters, the above decision will likely completely change the TFT meta in the next version. With such a low rate of 4-gold champions appearing, it is no longer as easy for gamers to reach level 8 quickly and find their main force. Obviously, when not upgraded quickly, a squad with many 4-cost 1-star generals will easily fail and cause gamers to lose a lot of blood.
A 4-cost main champion like Kayn, if upgraded too late, will make gamers pay a high price
Furthermore, the fact that Riot also nerfed the appearance rate of 4-money champions at level 9 makes pushing up to this level less meaningful. At that time, squads using 4-cost mainstays will have a hard time competing with “exodia” matches with many 5-cost champions. As a result, the formation will be in an extremely difficult position when it is much weaker at level 8, and reaching level 9 will not improve its strength much. Even the meta that uses many 4-money champions may completely disappear in the next version.
The 5-money main forces appeared to completely overwhelm the 4-money generals in the late game
Therefore, there is a very high possibility that 2-3 money champion reroll squads will return to the meta in the upcoming patch 14.9. This is an extremely effective way to defeat gamers who use a 4-money squad but are unlucky in upgrading their squad. Furthermore, this style of play will help players be very strong in the mid-game and retain a lot of health and gold to reach level 9 to supplement valuable 5-money units.
The Yone – Dark squad will most likely return in patch 14.9 when the 4-cost champions are no longer so overwhelming.
In short, with the seemingly small but extremely impactful edit mentioned above, squads using 4-gold mainstays will be much weaker in patch 14.9. Hopefully this change will help TFT's meta become more diverse and interesting instead of revolving around a few outstandingly strong 4-cost champions as currently.
