TL;DR: Because we’re moving to 3 sets a year with no mid-sets, we need to make some updates to smooth out the climb. These updates include the release of Emerald tier, a reduction in penalties for LP decay below Challenger, and an increase in the banked game max to 14 to align with LoL PC. Masters+ players can now enjoy a full 2-week vacation!

First up, the big one. 2-star Headliners can be purchased from the shop (they appear at the far right) with an additional plus one to one of their traits, and have a unique Headliner bonus.

Portals are back, but they’re toned down a bit since the Region Portals of Runeterra Reforged, both to allow everything else in the set to be as loud and energetic as possible, but also because of our additional mechanic (Headliner) adding to the game variance. We’re starting with a smaller list of unique Portals, but will be adding a few more Portals as the set goes on (these ones will be a bit crazier but still not as wild as House Lightshield).

There are seven categories of Portals.

And don’t worry, Scuttle Puddle is back!

We talk more extensively about our removal of Legends in both our Learnings article and our mechanics article.

TFT goes to 10! We’re reworking the leveling system so each level has a distinct purpose for your comp. Need to 3-star your Legendary 5-costs—go fast 10! Odds have also changed to sharpen each Level’s identity (see next section).

Roll chances have been adjusted giving each level a clearer purpose. Reroll 2-costs at Level 6, 3-costs at level 7, 4-costs are easiest to find at level 8, and getting the optimal 5-cost to finish your comp is best done at 9. Level 10 can allow you to pursue those ephemeral (SAT words never die) 3-star 5-costs!

At its core, TFT is a draft game. Our shared pool of champions creates an additional layer of strategy via scouting, contesting, and informing when to more aggressively roll down to find specific units. These "bag sizes" as we refer to them have been the same since TFT's release, and we felt like Remix Rumble was a good time to re-evaluate, especially due to the addition of Headliners. Our goal here is to keep TFT in a healthy state for the long-term by reducing power inflation caused by easily 3-starring the right unit, and we're reducing bag sizes at each tier as a step in that direction. Here's what those bag sizes look like now, though we may continue to change them over the coming months & years as we collect more data & feedback!

Player damage is a tricky system in TFT. As a reminder, when you lose, you take damage that is a total of a flat value (based on Stage) and an additional 2 damage per living unit on the board.

We’re lowering player damage from huge losses, but making losses in the mid-game sting a bit more. The goal here is to have a bit more consistency and avoid situations where you take 18 damage from that Cruel Pact player in the early game.

Champions gain Mana from attacking, Augments, Items, etc. But one of the less visible ways tanks gain mana is from taking damage. We’re lowering the amount of Mana they get from being damaged as premiere tanks (e.g. Cho’Gath from Runeterra Reforged) have been dependent on this bonus for many-a-sets.

Duplicators enable access to 3-stars. You know what else does? Headliner. We’re lowering the rate of Duplicators now that Headliners already provide access to starred up units.

Infinity Edge and Jeweled Gauntlet have been changed so that they’re not wasted when units already have spell crit. We’re reverting this excess crit to avoid Triple Infinity Edge being too powerful with our new Critical Strike traits like Executioners.

No brains or brawn.

Care-ousel.

There’s so much to uncover with Remix Rumble, and these patch notes can’t possibly cover it all. Good thing we have a supportive ecosystem of 3rd party friends that can give you specifics for the new content not covered here.

Brand new Augments have been added to the pool—be sure to check them out with any of our partner links above. Additionally, we’re cycling out some existing augments for other previously-existing Augments.

Welcome back some familiar and fun Augments from past sets!

As a whole we’re reducing econ inflation from some of the highs we’ve seen in Runeterra Reforged.

Many of our double component items (2x B.F. Sword, Needlessly Large Rod, Negatron Cloak, etc.) have been dependent on providing large stats that other items amplify. We’re giving these items a generic effect that will make them a bit stronger as a single standalone item. As a consequence, their big stats have been lowered.

Bramble Vest is becoming less of a hard counter to AD Crit and getting more general tankiness. It’ll still be your go-to against AD heavy lobbies, but should be slightly less of a “paper beats rock” situation. Dragon’s Claw is also getting a similar treatment with 10 less MR and bonus max Health.

As we continue to make traits and other effects that allow spells to critically strike, we don't want players feeling bad about having built Infinity Edge or Jeweled Gauntlet. So they'll grant some additional power if the player already has spell crit.

Artifacts allow us to keep adding unique things to play with, so we’re welcoming the return of a few favorite Shimmerscale items. Most Artifacts are receiving small buffs to keep them up to par with their rarity.

I still think this should be called Best Friend’s Club.

Making adjustments to the Radiant versions of the Core Items we changed above (plus a little bit of balancing).

The following changes go live with patch 13.23 (Remix Rumble’s launch) and only impact "new players", who have played 3 or fewer non-Tutorial games of TFT on that account.
