14.3B patch note:

https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/teamfight-tactics-patch-14-3-notes/

Hello everyone, I’m Khym!

With Patch 14.3B just around the corner, I’m here to provide you with some key highlights about the upcoming changes.

I provide a tier list by collecting data from MetaTFT (not my personal feeling), modify a bit base on how comfortable to play it (contesting problem) to make it as accurate as possible.

S Tier. Easy top 4, easy top 1 with capped board:

• 6 8-Bit Riven (with an Emblem) not broken anymore

A Tier. Easy top 4, can win with good synergy:

• AD flex (the best capped lv 9 board)
• Zhonya Jax (insanely good with Zhonya, B tier without)
• Punk Jinx (can win with Punk Emblem)
• Country Samira & Urgot (can win with Country Emblem)

A- tier. Riskier top 4, easier top 1 with stronger capped board:

• Spellweaver Lulu# (need a strong frontline)
• Crowd Diver Yone## (extremely high contested)
• That Jazz baby Bard/MF## (A+ tier with any 3* Neeko/Ekko)
• Lux Bruiser (need full AP item, no mana regen)
• True Damage Yasuo
• True Damage Senna
• Disco TF (harder top 4, easier top 1)

B tier (2.8~3.1 avg placement). Top 2-4 with strong synergy, still possible to win:

• Crowd Diver Katarina
• KDA Seraphine
• 8-Bit Riven (S tier with 6 8-Bit on Viego)
• 4 Emo Annie reroll
• 4/6 Executioner with 4/2 Guardian#
• Twin Terror (4 Executioner or 4 Guardian)
• Sentinel Kayle (slightly contested)
• Ahri flex (7 KDA or Poppy)
• Sentinel Ahri
• Pentakill flex (Pentakill + Edgelord headliner)

C tier. Top 4 comps:

• Pentakill Kayle (3* Kayle and Morde is a pain), B tier if success
• Pentakill 4 Executioner
• Bruiser Olaf (B tier with Gargantuan Resolve, normally don't choose to stay top 4 at 2-1)

(*) High contested reroll comp, in reality their placement is a bit worst

For enthusiasm want to see detailed stats (avg, % top 4, % win rate, my filter at MetaTFT...):

For a brief guide to every comps, I already made in this post, in future I'll always link it and update suitably with the meta, write everything again is a real pain TvT

This link has a bug currently, while I'm trying to fix you can find the mind map link above.

Never miss this comp when you got 8-Bit Emblem, Unlike Punk or Country emblem Riven team is uncontested!

At lv 9 this perfect synergy is easy to get a win

Riot remove extra 1, 2 Thief golves from Heartsteel in late game, not broken anymore but its still a great comp.

Due to being highly contested right now Its recommended to play with a good econ to hit lv 8 at 4-2, if not other will pick headliner before you can buy any. Worst case you can switch to Caitlyn headliner.

There are many things to talk about this comp so I put a summary map here and a detailed guide for who interested.

https://www.tacter.com/tft/guides/tft-ad-flex-9e8eb1f0

A comp you shouldn't miss when seeing Zhonya at 2-1

Game plan: hit 3* Jax at lv 6 then rush lv 9 to complete your comp, lv 8 you might want to roll a bit for 1 STAR Zac and Zed. If you hit 3 star Jax so late, stay at lv 8.

Give reduntdant AP items on Lux (prefer Shiv > Spark)

Jax EDM: Put EDM selector on Jax, thanks to Jax ability putting Lux in 2nd line will jump to the highest HP in 5 hexes (Lux has 4 range)

Have a look at this guide

https://www.tacter.com/tft/guides/1325-mastering-jax-edm-hidden-comp-that-got-a-huge-buff-f5cf64c9

I bet you already know how to play this comp so I give a small advice, always put Punk emblem on Poppy, she is the only unit in this set both scale with AD and HP from Punk

With 4/6 Punk, 20% HP from Sterak give more HP than Warmog

Unless you can put extra 2 Executioner somehow, there is no reason to hit lv 8. Stay at lv 7 to golden the whole team, when 3* without item they do nearly nothing. You must play Country with lots of item from augment or portal (Loaed carousel, Crab rave)

Some interesting comps to give a try!

TF mana reduce from 120 to 105, this change will bring him back to the game

I have a deep guide on TF, hope you take a look:

https://www.tacter.com/tft/guides/mastering-tf-flex-d6bdd299

This comp has the strongest lv 9 capped board (can play with Ziggs, Illaoi, Sona, Yorick) but the worst board if you can find Ziggs (unlike Pentakill you still can stay in top 4 without 5 cost).

If you have a bad opener avoid this comp. To get success with TF you need a strong opener with a combat augment to maintain winstreak, fast 8 to stabilize your board then hit lv 9 to win the game.

At 3* her skill damage increases from 225 to 255, it's a 11% buff.

Keep in mind Superfan gives her a Shojin, the next 2 items could be anything, prefer an atk speed and an AP item

Place her in the middle for aoe dmg spread

9% buff on Jax, 5% buff on Lux. No doubt this comp will be great again.

Only play when you have lots of rod, reduntdant AP items on Jax (thats why prefer Shiv > Spark).

EDM trait cast extra skill in a FIXED interval that's why Shojin, Nashor or any mana item are weak on Lux don't make this cast faster. Already have a guide

https://www.tacter.com/tft/guides/anti-meta-lux-bruiser-challenger-proof-2edf7829

Rabadon is just an AP item example

Put EDM selector on Jax Lux, trap Jax to deal extra dmg, Ziggs near Lux for Hyperpop. Or trap him in the left with Ziggs and tentacle

Cait new mana is 75, make Shojin is her most important weapon

For Cait fast 8, the same with Ezreal there are many ways to play around, I suggest mixing with Jazz for lv 9 upgrade. I'll have a guide on this one later

A hidden comp last patch, now Garen got a small buff, Kayle headliner is nerfed. Good news in this comp we are trying to find Garen headliner, and those people playing Kayle with Pentakill will less contest.

I'm pretty sure this version is more comfortable than Pentakill:

• 3* Garen is much easier than Morde
• Sentinel can hold the fight longer for Guinsoo stack

Yes you can play Pentakill version when Morde is not contested.

Already have a guide!
