Patch 9.23 shook up the Teamfight Tactics meta somewhat, bringing Mages and Oceans to the top of the tier list. The buffs were so extensive that Brand, effectively becoming the best unit in the game, had to be nerfed in a hotfix the Friday after the update. The next real patch will be 9.24, which will be released on Wednesday 11 December and will aim to consolidate a rather varied meta, while bringing new features.
Patch 9.24 hits next week!
