Teamfight Tactics patch 11.17 official notes: Sentinels and Spellweaver rework, Draven buffa, Riven nerfs, and more

Teamfight Tactics patch 11.17 will not be bringing too many changes to the game and will be introducing minor tweaks to help balance some of its competitive aspects.

The Sentinels and Spellweaver trait will be reworked this time around, while Draven, Kayle, and Gwen will be nerfed. Apart from that, much of their capabilities will be toned down in the upcoming update.

Reworked Sentinels and Spellweavers are sure to liven up the adventure in 11.17, but don't sleep on these Kayle and Gwen buffs either!Learn more: https://t.co/D5ZooYegv1 pic.twitter.com/IcWb9Mc2yI
