Teamfight Tactics patch 11.18 official notes: Buffs to Statik Shiv and Locket of Targon Prime

Teamfight Tactics patch 11.18 will not be bringing too many meta changes to the game, and will instead focus more on introducing minor adjustments to some of the pieces.

The League of Legends-based board game will be buffing Statik Shiv and Locket of Targon Prime this time around, while Blessed Bloodthirster and Dvarapala Stoneplate get themselves on the nerf list.

In addition, Jax, Volibear, Kayle, and Lucian will also be nerfed, and much of their board dominance will be scaled down in 11.18.

Teamfight Tactics players 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.
