Riot Games will return from summer break with a significant Teamfight Tactics update through Patch 13.14 on July 19, featuring a focus on Augment and item balance changes to the Set Nine Runterra Reforged meta.
Patch 13.13 within TFT Set Nine Runeterra Reforged was scheduled to run for three weeks without a B-patch. A variety of bugs getting abused prompted the team to ship a 13.13 C-patch on July 10, dealing with the exploitive glitches while also dropping a few balance changes. Changes on PBE servers for the upcoming Patch 13.14 are mostly focused on Set Nine Augments, especially Legends Augments.
