[News] Riot Games promised players the start of a new era, and the next big update to Teamfight Tactics is going to more than live up to expectations.

TFT Set 9, Runeterra Reforged, promises to be the most interesting yet.

It arrived timidly as if it were a new League of Legends game mode. However, the passage of time has positioned Teamfight Tactics as a video game with its own entity. He is the undisputed king of the autobattler and he is still in top form. Perhaps that is why the announcement that Riot Games made just a few weeks ago was surprising. Mortdog, director of TFT, was talking about a change of era with the next big update. A transformation in which a message was intuited: "everything you have seen so far is just a starter". We thought it was just a public relations exercise to fuel the hype, but I've already seen how Set 9 works and now I know he was serious.

The set with the most interesting novelties of all Teamfight Tactics
Teamfight Tactics Set 9 will receive the name of Runeterra Reforged (Runeterra Reforged) and brings to the table some new playable bases that advance the video game. A new path that aims to put certain limits on randomness, but increasing the variability of each game. To do this, three very important novelties are introduced. The first is that of the portals. They are the main mechanic of this great update and an idea that inherits the concepts that Riot Games already introduced into the game with Galaxies three years ago. Portals change games from start to finish, albeit in a more meaningful and interesting way.
At the beginning of the games three portals will appear from a list with 25 possibilities. Players will have to hover over them to select their favourite. Randomly, a Little Legend will be chosen, activating the portal on which it is currently located. In this sense, the portal with the most players on it will be more likely to activate. Some effects are very curious, and we wanted to highlight three examples...

House Lightshield: Grants a special item that greatly increases a character's stats. If the token that has this item equipped dies, we automatically lose the round.

The Dreaming Pool: At the beginning of each round, he gives us a champion who "truly fits our team." The rarity of him increases as the game progresses.

Yorick's Graveyard: When a player is eliminated, an armory appears with his items and we can choose one.

In addition to the portals, two great novelties have been added. First of all, the augments have undergone a massive rework. 90% of the existing improvements in past sets disappear in exchange for adding up to 100 new effects. A novelty that comes together with a new form of selection. Now we will be able to 'reroll' each of the increases individually, so that they have more options to find their favorite without risking more than necessary. This novelty is also paired with the introduction of Legends.

In TFT Set 9, 15 legends are added to the game. They are unique characters that have an exclusive set of augments with up to three options that adapt to different play styles. In each game, we will be guaranteed that one of the first increases available will be one of the three that each legend has associated. Ornn gains exclusive items, Tahm Kench generates gold, and Caitlyn is very aggressive in the early game. The objective is to give us more possibilities to impose our style. Even so, it will not always be the most advisable: "Believe me, with all the new increases there will be a lot of times in which you will listen to those of your legend", explained the developers.

A seamless transition into the future of TFT
One of the reasons why I didn't fully believe the promised "end of an era" that Riot Games announced is because Teamfight Tactics will receive a big change at the end of the year. I understood that this should be a transition process towards the future of the video game now that the development team has grown in size and promises new features at a faster rate. However, from the company they have not wanted to save content. The idea of this Set 9 is to shout to everyone that this is the best time in history to start playing.

In addition to the aforementioned playable novelties, elements are added that increase the clarity of the game. Riot Games has introduced new features that give us basic instructions on how to place each character or what items are recommended, so that even the most lost community members can find their way around in their first games. Also, the champions of the new set originate from the region of Runeterra to which they belong. This offers a very good transition for those arriving from League of Legends, as it is much easier to arrive knowing which characters have synergies with each other.

Perhaps the most significant thing is that we haven't talked about the tiles until now, because the truth is that it is a quality standard that –perhaps unfairly– is no longer even a novelty in TFT. The Riot Games game achieved mastery in this matter a long time ago, and now it is dedicated to growing in other aspects, preparing for another four years in which Teamfight Tactics must continue to be one of the visible heads of the developer. Barring unforeseen events, the new set will be released next Wednesday, June 14 on live servers. It will be available from June 1 on the PBE.
