Condensed TFT Patch 10.12 Notes

With patches every couple of weeks, TFT players need to make sure that they are keeping up with all of the changes. Some are extremely important and can change the Meta immensely, while others likely won’t. Because of that, there is only the need to be aware of the most important changes. That is why these Patch Notes will be condensed to make sure that players only have to pay attention to what is important. As a reminder, the patches go live a day after the notes are released. Here are the condensed Patch Notes for 10.12. For the full Patch Notes, click here.

Mini Ranked Reset Along with Ranked Reward on the Way

Galaxies Ranked Stage II will begin with this patch.

• Your rank has been “soft” reset down 1 Tier. For example,  if you are currently Gold II you will now be Silver II.
• If you are very good at this game and are currently placed in Master or above, you will be reset to Diamond 4.
• You will get 5 provisional matches after the reset, meaning you will not lose any LP for sub-top 4 placements in your first 5 ranked games of the new stage.
• If you placed Gold or higher in Galaxies Stage I you will receive a rank-appropriate emote. If you place Gold or higher in both Stages you will receive a Victorious Little Legend.
