Final preparations for the Teamfight Tactics World Championship will include over a dozen big Hextech Augment balance changes in Patch 12.7 from Augments getting removed to nerfs and buffs.
Set 6.5 Neon Nights Hextech Augments are on the hot list for the final TFT patch prior to the Gizmos and Gadgets World Championship. The changes being applied to Augments will potentially bring about fewer “feel bad” moments during high-level competitive play while still providing opportunities for players to choose flexible and risky paths.
The big Hextech Augments changes that are getting removed include Hextech Unity, Hextech Crest, Scholar Crest, and Woodland Trinket. Thieving Rascals and Junkyard will no longer appear as an option at Stage 3-3 and Electrocharge will no longer appear at Stage 4-6. A large number of small change Augments are also getting removed. Every Hextech Augment balance change, along with the nerfs and buffs getting applied to everything in TFT Patch 12.7, can be found here.
