Teamfight Tactics (TFT) PBE patch 13.15 early notes: Huge Ryze balances, Piltover changes, Unified Resistance One nerfs, and more

During the upcoming updates to Teamfight Tactics, Ryze will receive a major balancing overhaul related to Portal. Being a multivariant 5-cost and legendary Champion, Ryze has a different ability depending on the region, and the developers have decided to balance certain aspects of the game after players complained that he was overpowered in certain regions but unplayable in others.

Piltover has also been changed slightly to prevent players from passively leveling T-Hex and selling them for loot later.

This article will list all the changes currently available during patch 13.15 in the Teamfight Tactics PBE server. While most of the changes are expected to make their way to the live servers, not all of them will be implemented.
