Welcome back party people!
Patch 17.6 is a smaller patch with a few buffs, specific nerfs, and a sweeping pass on Augments. The balance of the set is in a good spot right now, and we don’t want to shake too much up ahead of our regional tournaments. But where things are shaking up is Pengu’s Party, which has quite a few balance changes to keep the party going!
This will be a three week long patch (one week longer than usual), with 17.7 coming on July 15th to allow Rioters to take a week long break.

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS
MOBILE MINIMUM SPEC CHANGES
As we continually develop Teamfight Tactics, we occasionally update the minimum system requirements to continue playing. Starting July 22nd, we’ll be ending support for 2GB/3GB mobile devices. Players on these devices will need to upgrade in order to continue to play TFT on mobile.
LARGE CHANGES
Large, like the announcement we made about migrating to [Unreal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT_dLnzbQKA).
TRAITS
Anima (6) is back on the buff list, this time with a small, but focused buff to ensure you’re able to spike faster with your initial rewards.
We’ve also got a few Arbiter buffs for the combos that are feeling a bit Arbitrary.
One of the biggest winners of last patch was reroll Gnar, which didn’t actually stay at Level 6 to slow roll for long. Instead, Gnar enjoyers opted to play for Levels after collecting enough Gnars, and then print the rest with Meeple (7). We don’t think Gnar is that far off in terms of balance, but the consistency of this comp is held together by its access to Level 9 through Meeple’s econ rewards. We’re shipping a small and targeted econ nerf here for Meeple (7), and going light on the Gnar nerf in an effort to keep the comp viable without the consistent dominance.
N.O.V.A. has a few fun fantasies with the Striker Selector, but too few of them haven’t been viable. We’re shipping buffs to the least selected, so keep your eyes out for new N.O.V.A. carries that’ll change the acronym to Nerf Overdue Very Appealing. Okay, not likely to take them into a “need nerf now” situation, but you try making an acronym out of N.O.V.A.
With our Shepherd AP nerf in our mid-patch update for 17.5 we’re able to move more power into the Summon itself and a few of the carries found in Shepherd comps. This should result in a much stronger summon, especially at Shepherd (7).

UNITS: TIER 1
As our only champion that rolls dice and deals cards, Twisted Fate has found himself low-rolling and drawing bricks—which should hit hard, no? We’re giving him some much-needed buffs that’ll hopefully return him to a board, card table, or gambler’s den near you.
