TFT team claws together Set 7 hotfix for Nami and gang following Dragonlands set launch
A hotfix for Teamfight Tactics Set Seven will drop later today, according to design director Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer, nerfing Nami and Verus while also fixing a Sylas bug.
Nami and Verus reroll have been running the Dragonlands realm but their Astral dominance is coming to a quick end via a B-patch taking place on June 10. Scheduled to hit live servers later today, the hotfix slashes Nami’s spell damage and reduces Verus’ attack speed slightly. The TFT Set Seven 12.11 B-patch also resolved a bug tied to Sylas, ensuring the dragon is mana-locked while his shield is active.
We want everyone to have the best weekend possible in Dragonlands, so we will be deploying the following micropatch later today. (Don't ask when, I'll post when it's live.)
Thank you all for your support and engagement so far. Dragonlands is looking, as the kids say, TOO LIT.

“We want everyone to have the best weekend possible in Dragonlands, so we will be deploying the following micropatch later today,” Mortdog said.
- Nami: Spell damage nerfed from 175/225/275 to 100/150/200
- Varus: Attack speed reduced from 0.75 to 0.7
- Varus: Mana nerfed from 60/120 to 75/150
- Sylas: Dragon is now mana-locked while the shield is active
The TFT Set Seven team is also working on an upgrade to Shyvana that is slated to drop via Patch 12.12 on June 23.
Shyvana update on PBE soon! We're making her Flame Breath duration longer and sweep the battlefield while she's moving. Hopefully we'll see s'more nice, roasty moments.
Let us know what you think!
3* updates you'll have to see for yourself too👀 89g? ez

A nerf to Nami and Varus will likely bump the Astral reroll comp from one of the best Set Seven comps to play at the Dragonlands launch to a C-tier build for now. Patch 12.12 will also address the Mage bug that is still active, potentially allowing Nami to return to the meta.
The TFT Set Seven 12.11 B-patch will drop on the live servers later today after the update starts at 2pm CT, according to Riot.
Update June 10 12:30pm CT: A start time for the TFT Set Seven 12.11 B-patch was added.
