TFT Patch 12.13: New Aurelion Sol, Shyvana buffs, Shi Oh Yu and Sy’fen nerfs, and more balance changes

With TFT patch 12.13, the devs are set to resume the typical Teamfight Tactics balancing cycle after a long vacation

TFT Patch 12.13, which was released on the live server just now, includes a rework of the 10-cost dragon unit Aurelion Sol, system modifications, and significant trait adjustments.

Although the number of champions rebalanced was lower than in prior TFT Set 7 updates, the nerfs and buffs implemented may have a bigger influence on the overall Dragonlands meta, especially when the rise of Sy’fen and Shi Oh Yu in the last patch has made Dragon units so overly powered. 

Here are all of the updates in TFT patch 12.13
