After set 3.5 Galaxies was revived in Teamfight Tactics with the new items and game mechanics, it became mandatory for some if not all of the champions to be adjusted as well. So let's see Riot's latest attempt at balancing this set.

The entire objective behind Teamfight Tactics Patch 14.3's changes to Galaxies was to balance some of the champs and at the same time buff up some of the most underused champions and traits and make them more attractive to players.

These changes were made in hopes of creating a more diverse gameplay and inspiring players to make unique combos and be more flexible in terms of play style. From the looks of it, changes were made to only 1-4 cost units, and no 5 cost units were touched as they are already quite balanced. 

So let's dive into details and see what this patch by Riot has to offer players.

Trait Changes:

Cybernetics

Darkstar

  • Dark Star's 8-piece version's AP and AD are getting nerfed from 50 to 45

Sorcerer

  • Their AP is getting buffed from  20/40/70 to 25/45/75 

Let's hope these adjustments work as the developers intended. Balancing a game like TFT is a tough task to begin with. On top of that with so many variables you can't plan things out 100% accurately. Improvising and responding quickly is crucial here.


Thankfully we have Mortdog and his team who are always vigilant and ready to tackle any problems in their path.
