Wasian's Patch 16.6 read as of March 3, 2026 #TFT #S16:

Broseph: @Mortdog Can we add a hidden system where you're guaranteed to see an economic augment at each augment selection stage :( Top 4 players have 8 econ augments between them Mortdog: Short answer: no Longer answer: I don’t really want every game feeling the same and systematized to “always pick your econ choice”. I’d rather us focus on making the non Econ more competitive choices.

Broseph asked Mortdog to add a hidden system so you're guaranteed to see an econ augment at each augment selection stage. #TFT

The response was "no"

Official #TFT cosmetics:

Whether they're journeying across spectral mists, spirit realms, or the stars, these Tacticians have their sights set on Top 4! Senna Unbound, Chibi Yuumi, and Star Guardian Snek enter the Rotating Shop alongside the Dawning Shadow Boom on March 4!

Sylas positioning by Data_TFT@x.com #TFT #S16:

Do You Know That...Sylas Position

Put Sylas in the far corner of the second row—this makes it more likely that his first cast is Lux' ability at a safe spot.

EARLY 16.6 TFT SPARKNOTES (3/3/2026) TLDR: BIG SHAKEUP IN META, LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO CAP YOUR BOARD AND WIN (ECON AUGMENT IS KING), RR IS PLAYABLE, win streak / giga econ augment -> fast 9 legendary cap (unless niche conditions to play 4 cost comps, eg. emblem warwick, artifact slayers) Any winning board caps around 5 cost ap carry (mel, sylas, ryze, sett, annie) S tier: mel flex (mel, swain, ambessa), ryze flex (demacia ionia) A tier: voli/ryze (lifting competition makes it S tier), ionia ahri/kennen rr, rr ixtal, ixtal brock B tier: warwick (w/ emblem + strong combat aug), slayers (artifact or strong combat aug), ionia yunara, annie flex, veigar, 3 cost ap rr (zoe, Leona, malz), bilge C tier: noxus kindred (need winstreak draven opener), liss/seraphine, void kaisa (no baron) D tier: Shadowisles (no hero viego), asol, thex, zaheen (honestly unclickable level unless xinzhao 2 5 winstreak opener) RR COMPS: - 3 cost AP (zoe, Leona, malz) or (malz, naut, loris) or (ionia ahri kennen) - econ augment check, 3 cost augments (legion of threes, trifecta, double trouble etc..) check - 3 cost AD (draven, naut, gp) - natural unit/tempo check - 2 cost AD (ashe, trynd) - win streak check, artifact check - 2 cost AP (ixtal bard) - rr augment check best default lvl 8 comp (assuming no emblems/artifacts): mel flex (mel 1 + serraphine + 2 star 4 cost frontline is stable) - voli/liss (liss 2 + voli 1 + 2 star 4 cost frontline is stable) ionia yunara (if good path = spirits/enlightened)

I did a double take hearing Dowager Penwood speak Cantonese in Bridgerton S4.

I immediately investigated: the actress is Katie Leung who played Cho Chang in the Harry Potter movies!

Really loving all the Asian representation this season ❤️

I saw this meme earlier and some of the discourse around it, and different buckets of players and how they feel about those past things like loaded dice and zephyr and stuff like that. I wanted to briefly say that this is actually some of the hardest conversations and parts of our job, making TFT what it is and an everchanging game. Bluevelvet and I often have a lot of discourse on where we land for different buckets of players. Where should we pull back, where are we making the game too flat, have we rounded off too many rough edges, etc. In some cases we remove things not because they are bad or flawed, but because they've been solved and we need to open up design space for new things. If we kept everything in TFT that has been in the game, we'd have an extremely bloated game.

But other times we remove stuff because it's been solved and has rough edges causing player pain. But in doing that, sometimes we round things out possibly a bit much. Artifacts for example are something we discuss a lot recently. Have we made them too dull/generic? For some players, them not being warping is a good thing. For others, not having the sharp ways to spike and break the game in unique ways leaves the game feeling more flat. It's a tough line. I certainly won't say we've got it perfect, and frankly it's also an ever evolving situation. Players needs today are different than a year ago, three years ago, or seven years ago. But that's also what makes working on TFT so fun. Keeping up with all types of players and their needs.

I hope you know though, that no matter what side you land on here, there are folks on the team that feel the same way. For every dev on the team happy to see something like Zephyr gone, there's another on the team who laments us taking it away. And we're listening to all perspectives here and trying to find the right balance. But keep us honest and keep telling us how we're doing. It's like that loading tip says; "We make TFT better based on your feedback". Anyway, just a thought as I was reading the discourse. Have a good rest of your day :)

Post from Mortdog about ever-evolving elements of #TFT

From dpei_tft@x.com #TFT #S16:

Most TFT players pick augments wrong and end up bot4.

It's because they choose whatever they were told is OP rather than thinking about which TYPE of augment to take.

Hey everyone. As promised, here are the 16.6 Patch notes as is that will be on PBE after todays deploy. Reminder, this is not something we normally do, but we're trying to keep competitive folks in the loop. This is like 95% final. There's one last day for adjustments and feedbacks, and I know the team already snuck in a couple more this morning that will show up in tomorrow's final build. Otherwise don't expect a ton of changes from here on out. So far response from the folks playing has been positive, which has been good. Tim and I are also going to try to get the rundown video out a bit earlier if we can. Ok, that's it for today. Have fun!
