Riot Games and the Teamfight Tactics balance team are considering big changes to evergreen Augments going forward starting with Set Nine, according to game designer Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer in his “Learnings” article for Set Eight/8.5 Monsters’ Attack posted today.
The launch of TFT Set Eight/8.5 Monsters’ Attack made Augments an evergreen mechanic within the autobattler, providing players with numerous strategic lines to take at three Stages throughout a game. Augments aren’t going anywhere, but a few staple Augments need to take a break, according to Mortdog and the TFT design team. These Augment shifts will likely result in some big changes to evergreen Augments within Set Nine, along with future sets as well.
