Riot Mortdog calls TFT Set 9 ‘beginning of a new era’

Riot Games has been slowly growing the Teamfight Tactics team since Set Five in April 2021. And now, the upcoming Set Nine is slated to bring about a “shift in development,” according to game designer Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer.

Set Eight/8.5 Monsters’ Attack is wrapping up, with the NA Regional Finals taking place over the weekend and the EMEA Regional Finals ending on May 15. Since the Mid-Set update, the meta balance has hit peak form with Patch 13.10 potentially containing a small number of minor tweaks heading into the World Championship from May 26 to 28.
