Summary
Tournament Focused Balance
As the Tactician's Crown Patch, 16.7 focuses on high-level stability. The developers are boosting the viability of Tier 2 and Tier 3 reroll strategies by buffing Teemo, Tristana, and Vayne. Conversely, high-performing Tier 5 units like Ryze and Galio are receiving durability and damage nerfs to prevent them from dominating the late-game meta.
Augment & System Adjustments
Several overperforming Augments are being reined in, including Ascension and Component Heist. Notably, Promised Protection has been removed entirely, and Walk the True Path II is temporarily disabled due to a bug and power concerns.
Festival of Beasts Revival
The Revival mode receives a massive balance pass, primarily focusing on buffs for low-cost units like Brand, Elise, and Tahm Kench to help them find a place in the current meta, while outliers like Ornn and Olaf see slight power reductions.
