Players of Teamfight Tactics are eager to get their hands on the upcoming set, and the PBE for Set Nine is now accessible to give them a sneak peek at what is to come. The gameplay director of TFT Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer tweeted out all the adjustments coming shortly to the Set Nine PBE, including some nerfs to the powerful troops like Taliyah and Viego while altering some traits like the new group Piltover. This was made possible by fan feedback and some internal testing.
This combination of buffs and nerfs would typically be announced as an official patch, but as the game is still in the PBE, they serve more as a balance adjustment to fix issues before Set Nine on June 14. If you need more information about Taliyah, Viego, and the new trait Piltover are all nerfed in the TFT Set 9 first PBE patch, then read carefully, and don’t forget to share with your friends.
Taliyah, Viego, and the new trait Piltover are all nerfed in the TFT Set 9 first PBE patch:
Additionally, this implies that despite the lengthy queue system the development team had to set up for PBE users, players will be able to use these modified champions and attributes sooner.
