Mortdog admits TFT’s ban on Augment stats sites was ‘naive’ as Riot changes course
A ban on sites collecting Teamfight Tactics Augment data is set to get reverted, according to game designer Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer on Aug. 9, as the experiment comes to an end.
Riot Games introduced a new API policy through Patch 13.12, limiting data that third-party sites could collect—specifically win rates on Augments at each Stage. Since the ban went into effect on June 14, the TFT team was “happy with the results,” according to Mortdog, but not at the expense of how the changes might impact the autobattler over time.
