Teamfight Tactics second half, Fates 2 is coming soon and this means that there will be new champions joining the roster and some will inevitably leave. Riot Games has posted a long article on all the changes. The notes below show all new, changing and leaving champions when the new set arrives.
Teamfight Tactics Fates 2 Leaving Champions
Out with the old, in with the new. For the mid-set update, we’re shaking things up by removing a handful of champions to make room for new ones. So, what’s leaving us?
- Moonlight – The moon wanes! No longer will its light bathe our low-cost units, providing them with additional star levels. They’ve had their moment in the moonlight, and their removal will help shake-up the early game. Say goodbye to the following units:
- Lissandra
- Sylas
- Aphelios
- Dusk – Dusk’s removal will pave way to the dawn of a new origin we’ll talk about later— Dragonsoul! This means we’ll no longer see the following units in Fates:
- Vayne
- Thresh
- Riven
- Cassiopeia
- Lillia
- Hunter – This group of synchronous snipers are headed out. Gone are the battles wherein they pick off foes in the blink of an eye. Farewell to:
- Aphelios
- Warwick
- Ashe
- Dazzler – When Sharpshooters and Hunters were running amok, who did you turn to but the glamorous Dazzlers to bring them down a notch? However, the following champions will dazzle no more:
- Lissandra
- Lux
- Ezreal
- Shade – No longer will Shades be slinking in and out of the shadows, terrorizing the enemy backline only to disappear without a trace. Speaking of, I can’t seem to find the following champions:
- Evelynn
- Kayn
We also have a few additional units leaving who don’t fall into one of these removed traits:
- Nami
- Hecarim
- Jinx
- Xin Zhao
- Jhin
- Ahri
Teamfight Tactics Fates 2 Changes
- Diana
- Moonlight / Assassin → Spirit / Assassin
- Diana uses a different skin, so be on lookout for her new appearance!
- Zed
- Ninja / Shade → Ninja / Slayer
- New: Zed now has a passive ability where he jumps to the back to replace the old Shade passive. It does not include the aggro drop part though, so he is a lot more vulnerable this time around.
- Kindred
- Spirit / Hunter → Spirit / Executioner
- We’ll talk about Executioner in a moment, but other than that, no change. Kindred are still the same strong 3-cost carry!
- Morgana
- Enlightened / Dazzler → Enlightened / Syphoner
- The built-in healing on her spell has been removed and replaced with a 40% AD reduction effect—but more on Syphoners later.
