shorter games for patch 12.13

For this patch 12.13 of Teamfight Tactics, the buffs are once again very present. However, despite nerfs to assassins in patch 12.12 and in mid-patch, the latter have again the right to Critical hit damage nerf. The other important point of these patches, is the reduction in the average duration of games. Multiple innings saw their duration reduced by 10 seconds what put end to end makes a certain reduction. We present to you all the changes of the patch 12.13 on TFT.

Updated systems

Duration of games

In order to reduce the average match length somewhat, we have made the following changes:

• The duration of rounds 2-1, 3-2 and 4-2 (enhancement rounds) has been reduced by 10 seconds.
• The duration of round 4-7 (Precious Dragon) has been reduced by 10 seconds.
• The duration of round 5-1 (after Precious Dragon) has been reduced by 10 seconds.

Damage to players

99.99% of games end before Stage 8. However, this change is for that remaining 0.1%. The games have to end one day!

• Phase 8 player damage increased to 150 in Standard and Double Up.
