Teamfight Tactics patch 12.8 will be introducing a fair bit of tweaks for the Neon Nights meta and look to shift things around a bit on the board.

However, the changes will not affect the Gizmos and Gadgets World Championship, which is getting played on Patch 12.7.

A system will be applied to the Double Up mode, where players will receive damage upon losing a round, with Riot removing the half damage round with the patch.

Along with patch 12.8, 12.10m and 12.11 will be for fun and make way for Set Seve, which is set to drop with version 12.11. Teamfight Tactics fans looking for a detailed description of the patch can look up Riot’s Official website.

However, for a brief overview, here are all the major highlights.
