Teamfight Tactics Fates Patch 11.5: Champion changes, Debuff Overhaul, and more

Riot Games has released all the information regarding Patch 11.5 of Teamfight Tactics, which will arrive on 3rd March on the main servers.

Compared to the previous patch, this one will bring less drastic changes to the game, given the proximity to the regional qualifiers of the Fates World Championship, to be held in the following months.

Let's break down all the details of everything new with Patch 11.5.

Teamfight Tactics Patch 11.5: Debuff Overhaul

Starting with this update, all debuffs towards allied and enemy champions will be part of a shared system, which will prevent certain debuff combos such as applying -100% Armor, Attack Speed, to a single champion.

Only the strongest debuff will have priority, so if a champion suffers any of these repeatedly, it will not stack or increase their debuff time.

Also, once the debuff has worn off, if there is a weaker debuff of the same type that would have lasted longer, this debuff will continue until it expires.
