    Recently Updated
    Patch 16.7 is the smallest Patch for this set. It slightly nerfed the AP cap (Galio, Ryze, and Sylas all nerfed), but the meta is still roughly the same.
  • New
    Recently Updated
    Noticeable changes are AD Kai'Sa is closer in balance to AP, Vayne looks like she is back to playable, and Yunara looks playable again. T-Hex still looks extinct.

    Uncertain if the Seraphine buff was enough to bring the 4 Piltover Sera Lissandra board back into meta.

    Thank you for the updates. Looking forward to new features!

    Champions spell descriptions are now broken for some reason though o7

    1. Author avatarGM Blue

      Fixed! They updated where you get the values for the formulas in Champion spell descriptions in 16.7 from “mName” and “mValues” to “name” and “values” and I typo’d “value” instead of “values”. Woops 😀

    Updated for Patch 16.7 — This is a very small patch overall, so don’t expect many changes over the coming days like there were with prior patches.

    This is nearly the end of Set 16 now, so I want to talk a little bit about what is going on behind the scenes with TFT Flow lately. I am working on another major set of updates. I can’t provide a firm timeline for when those updates will come out. Obviously I would love if they were out by Set 17 launch, but that might not be possible.

    In short, I am in the process of adding the following features to the website:

    1) Augment Tier List + Change Log
    2) Stage 1 Hold Tier List + Change Log
    3) New page to replace this one probably — Haven’t decided yet. But my goal with this page was to only highlight the meta comps while the tier list showed every comp on the website. I don’t like how much scrolling there is on this page. I want there to be an easier way to get an overview of the consistent meta comps without having to scroll as much.
    4) Comp Change Log Revamp – I don’t like how wordy the current change log for comps is. Aiming to change this to become more visual.
    5) Champion item builds page — I intend on building a tool that allows me to centralize where I manage item builds. If I create it, it’s completely “free” for me to also add a page to the website that shows all champions in one place along with recommended builds for those champions. Undecided on whether I’ll include this page yet.
    6) Drawing on Team Builder update — I want to support chess style drawing on the team builder. Except a lot more functionality. Expect this to be a fairly major project

    With these updates will come a slight redesign of the comp pages. You can view a preview of where I am at on that design in the site’s Discord. The variation dropdown will get supplemented with quick access buttons you can click to swap between variations. Openers will get moved to above the fold (top of the page, before scrolling). Augment priority will get added, along with maybe a few other new sections (undecided). The end result should be an updated comp page with more info while still looking clean / organized.

    All of this is to say I am busy. The website is not on the back burner at all, although the actual content updates are going to be slower for the remainder of Set 16 since this set is now in its winding down phase which gives me more time for development.

    As an aside, part of why I would like to get this page a bit smaller is I consider this page’s comment section to be the most important on the website. One downside of introducing comments across the website is now fewer of them come in on this page, which is generally a small price to pay but I do miss the sense of community I felt in this page’s comment section. I’ll probably try to be a bit more active here in the future as I consider this a nice place to post updates like this one.

    Thanks everyone who is still using the website 🙂

      Thanks for your hard work always GM Blue. Your page is unlike any of the others in the best way.

      Thank you for everything you do. I love your website and I’m excited for all the future updates!
