TFT patch 12.17b is on its way to help stabilize the meta following the release of Set 7.5
The TFT Mid-Set was released with Patch 12.17 on September 8, and it included 12 new dragons, 62 champions, a revamped Treasure Dragon, and substantial Dragon Traits.
Riot’s Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer has recently announced the specifics of a b-patch less than a week after the release of the new set.

Darkflight Cannoneers and Guild Xayah have dominated the opening week of set 7.5. So, it’s obvious that TFT patch 12.17b nerfs the two carriers of both comps, Aphelios and Xayah.
Pantheon and Olaf have also been doing excellently. They are also being nerfed when the patch is settled.
Olaf’s starting mana has been reduced, and he will get less AD from his passive after dying in each stage. Pantheon’s ability will now do less damage at all tiers and his mana will now be locked for the whole duration of his spell.
The updates have already gone live on September 13 at this time of the day now so players should expect some changes (although it is minor).
