Just hours ago, the latest version of the PBE test server was updated, adding 3 new battlefields based on the Space Squad skins featuring Jinx, Malphite, and Yasuo. However, the biggest change related to Teamfight Tactics is the complete rework of the Chrono tribe, which still increases attack speed but in a completely different way. Specifically:
The Chrono Tribe
New effect: All allies gain an additional 15% attack speed every few seconds.
2 champions: 6 seconds
4 champions: 2 seconds
6 champions: 1 second
Sona
The number of targets for the skill increases from 2/3/4 to 3/4/5.
Until now, the Chrono tribe has always been considered a fairly popular combo used in various team compositions because attack speed is a crucial stat for any champion. However, this has led to a situation where the Chrono tribe only acts as a support tribe and does not have a strong enough team composition to compete with others.
The 2 and 4 champion thresholds of the Chrono tribe were so good that players could stop at those combo thresholds as they were sufficient to support the damage for their teams. This happened with the Hyper Technology, Duelists, or most recently the Void Brawlers; Chrono in those teams only played a secondary role, yet it still provided significant strength from the early combo thresholds.
Therefore, with this rework, Riot is likely to steer Chrono to become a strong independent team composition rather than just a supportive background. Previously, they have continuously buffed Caitlyn and Wukong, so it is likely that Chrono will undergo a complete transformation in the upcoming patches, initially weak but extremely strong once the full composition is reached, ready to compete in the meta.
