Reborn Team Composition
The Reborn team composition has always been one of the favorites among Teamfight Tactics players since season 5 through to season 5.5. The champions in this composition have excellent healing capabilities, and notably, some names like Ivern or Vladimir can function as tanks (Ivern can even combine with the Dark God), while Rakan provides healing, and Soraka, Heimerdinger serve as decent sources of damage if equipped and leveled properly. Moreover, even if the composition suffers early in the game, the health loss remains manageable, making it quite useful for players who enjoy eco strategies of selling health. The Reborn composition is rated in tier B with a 45% chance to reach top and approximately an 11% chance to secure the top 1 spot.
According to information released by Riot, Rakan and Heimerdinger – the two mainstays of the Reborn composition will be nerfed. Specifically, the damage from Rakan’s Shimmering Spear will decrease from 350/500/900 to 350/500/800, and the healing amount will also drop from 35/50/80% to 35/50/70%. As for Heimerdinger, the mana cost for this champion’s abilities will increase to 160, but the attack speed will be reduced from 0.75 to 0.7. While these nerfs are minor, they could have a significant impact, especially since the Reborn composition lacks many tanks (except Ivern and somewhat Vladimir, provided this champion has sufficient items and is at level 3). It’s even likely that these champions will temporarily step away from the hot metas of Teamfight Tactics until Riot buffs them back.
The next two names on the nerf list are the duo Nidalee – Riven. This pair is the primary source of damage for the Divine Guardians composition, especially since both have burst damage capabilities along with mobility and crowd control. However, the Divine Guardians meta revolving around this duo will likely collapse after the upcoming 11.17 patch.
In patch 11.17, Riven will experience a decrease in nearly all stats such as health (from 850 to 800), damage (from 80 to 75), bonus damage from Dawnblade reduced from 90/100/120% to 90/100/110%, and damage from Dawnblade reduced from 100/200/500 to 100/200/300. As for Nidalee, this champion will also be heavily nerfed as the evasion rate from the Prowling Pounce decreases to 40%, and the additional attack speed is reduced from 40/50/75 to 30/50/70%. These changes may cause this duo to completely disappear or only serve to activate the synergy.
6 Warriors Composition
Essentially, Jax, Kennen, or even Viego are not on the nerf list or have only received minor adjustments; in fact, Viego becomes somewhat stronger as the damage from his Supreme Command increases from 180/300/1500 to 180/360/2000. However, the Warriors composition will lose a quality damage source with Nidalee being heavily nerfed as mentioned above. Additionally, Lee Sin – the heavy defense piece of the Warriors composition also received a nerf as his health decreased to 800, and damage from the Tremor Strike decreased from 250/350/650 to 200/350/600.
Of course, players can still play 3 Warriors around Jax, but the 6 Warriors composition may disappear for a while until new updates arrive and Riot restores champions like Nidalee and Lee Sin to their original strength.
