Imagine having a three cost four star unit, that'd be insanely strong. The largest reason for that is you can't really add in any champion that costs more than two. But increasing the star level for a few champions, especially up to four stars, has really limited the potential of this trait. The idea of the synergy is great and unique even compared to the (likely) inspiration behind it from Auto-Chess, Druids.

In the last few metas it finally found a somewhat healthy balance but even then it still has needed tweaks. Either the trait was too damn good or too weak. Moonlight has been a problem child of set four since it initially came out on PBE. Moving onto the next synergy being removed we have Moonlight. The biggest change I'm interested in is what Mage will be replacing her and will they make the trait playable in 4.5. A Mage with hard CC is always iffy when it comes to balance because if you go too far she's ridiculous so they always had to toe a line with making her playable but not too good. Honestly this isn't too big of a deal even though she's had more presence in the recent meta. Riven has been a strong four cost carry for all of set four so her going away raises the question of who's going to replace her? And that question carries the earlier sentiment of, are they moving away from magic damage in 4.5? We'll have to wait and see but Riven was definitely a pivotal champion for the first half of set four.Īnd lastly for Dusk we have Lillia being removed. If there's not similar CC being added with the new champions we may see Sejuani become even more important since she'll be the best frontline CC with Cassiopeia being removed.Īnother big removal is Riven.

Third reason is that she actually does do a lot of damage, plus increases the damage to champions hit by her ultimate.Ĭombine all of those factors and you're mainly losing out on an easy to play Mystic with good CC. Perhaps removing her is a move forward in reducing the amount of CC. Again this is replaceable but the original set four has a lot of CC already. That's easily replaceable so not too big of a deal. Maybe we'll be seeing less of a focus on shields in 4.5 which means things like Keeper or Janna will have more of a unique feel to them and thus become more important.Ĭassiopeia being removed is going to really shake up the meta because she filled a lot of roles. That said he's definitely one of the better support champions because his shield can be massive. Thresh is an interesting champion because he really does fit well into a lot of builds thanks to Dusk, but it's not like he's ever ultra important. Mostly we'll be missing Dusk more so than Vayne. Of course if they are adding in additional Sharpshooters then Vayne being removed isn't too big of a deal. Or during the time that six Sharpshooter was meta, you'd definitely need a Vayne. But there are cases where Vayne was actually necessary, such as with a Dusk Spatula Jhin you'd want Vayne to provide Sharpshooter.

Mainly you'd use her as a stand-in for six Dusk. Up first we have Vayne who never really had that important of a role in the meta. Perhaps we'll see a bit less magic damage moving forward into set 4.5. In particular, will there be additional spell power added to the set? Dusk was one of the reasons, among many, that Mystic has been such a necessary trait in set four since magic damage is so prevalent. With it being removed there's definitely going to be a large hole to fill for the newly added synergies. The flexibility it provides added a lot of depth to mid and late game compositions. Dusk has been a top trait in set four since. So let's talk a look at what's going away! That alone, not even taking into consideration the new additions, is going to alter the game a lot. They are making pretty large changes with around twenty champions getting the boot along with six traits. To start off let's talk about what's going bye bye in 4.5. But for now my goal is to break down what's being removed and showcase the (confirmed) changes coming in 4.5! Plus there was a potential leak of the new champions and traits that we'll be using as speculation later on in this article. If we use set 3.5 as any indication then it's likely to change up the game in a lot of ways.Īs of right now we don't have all of the information about set 4.5 but we do know what's being removed and most of what they are adding in. This will be just like last set where a big chunk of the champions and traits get removed and replaced with new ones. Hihi! While TFT is still on a bit of a break for the Holidays they have been releasing information about the upcoming update, Festival of Beasts.
