The 12.6 patch notes that TFT players have been eagerly waiting for are finally here! After a long wait, the TFT 12.6 patch notes, unfortunately, won't be home to the big changes players were hoping for. So don't expect changes as big as those in previous patches. Here are the TFT 12.6 PBE patch notes we dug up for you!
What's Coming in TFT Patch 12.6?
Irelia, Corki and Draven Bugs Are Being Fixed!
Although not officially part of TFT patch 12.6, bug fixes for Corki, Draven, and Irelia were shipped in-game ahead of the March 30 update. Irelia's mana generation bug has been fixed, meaning you won't get stuck after recasting Bladesurge while crowd controlled. This was a major issue for Irelia-based comps, since she would stay stationary for half the fight before dying. Corki is getting a similar buff: if his target dies mid-animation, his Bombardment ability will no longer be wasted and will instead be redirected. Meanwhile, if the Debonair bonus is disabled, Draven will no longer receive VIP bonuses.
Expected Balance Changes for Innovators, Meta Reroll Comps
Although Riot hasn't publicly announced any balance changes, on PBE or otherwise, we can make an educated guess about what might change. Developer Stephen 'Mortdog' Mortimer has wanted to avoid major changes in mini-patches leading up to 12.6, so as not to disrupt the competitive meta. After the regional qualifiers between March 25-27 in most regions, that will change heading into Worlds.
Looking at the top comps, Twinshot stands out as overperforming following its Patch 12.5 buff. The next big nerf could hit Talon and Chemtech Challengers' meta reroll comps. Both the Debonair unit and Warwick, Camille, and Tryndamere could be on Riot's radar due to how insanely strong they are.
All of this is speculation ahead of the TFT 12.6 patch, so we'll keep you updated with both the PBE changes coming before March 30 and the official patch notes.
When Will the TFT 12.6 Patch Hit Servers?
With Riot getting back on schedule after a long four-week wait, TFT patch 12.6 is expected to release on Wednesday, March 30, 2022. Servers usually go down around 5 AM local time (depending on region) and come back up at 8 AM.
Oceania is the first region to get the patch, and the notes usually drop once the update starts rolling out in Australia. Global rollout then begins over the following 24 hours.
