The preferred currencies of League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics players will soon cost a bit more. Riot has announced that the prices of TFT coins (used in the mobile version of Teamfight Tactics) and Riot Points (used in League of Legends) will change.
The average price of RP and TFT coins will change in the United States by 9.8%. The $5, $35, $50, and $100 tiers now yield much less currency (in USD), although the $10 and $20 tiers still provide the same amount but now cost $11 and $21, respectively.
Canadian players may expect an average price change of 9.9% on all purchases. Although this results in a sharp increase in the price of each tier, the money offered for the tiers has been considerably raised to coincide with the rest of North America. The lowest tier, which used to cost 5 CAD, now costs 5.49 CAD and offers slightly less currency.
