After a patch 12.14 that impacted all champions and a subsequent one with no impact, TFT patch 12.16 comes to put a big dent in the power of Dragons, before putting them back on the map with set 7.5. Let's explore buffs, nerfs, and adjustments to traits, champions, augments, and items.
To begin the TFT patch 12.16 changes, the traits do not undergo major upheaval. Still, we note the buffs of compositions with many Bruiser or Tempest champions and the important Nomsy damages nerf.

---|---|
Bruiser | HP bonus is increased from 200/325/450/700 to 200/325/500/800. |
Tempest | The attack speed bonus increases from 20/50/100/200% to 20/50/120/250%. |

The champions are the part most impacted by this TFT patch 12.16. If many champions see their statistics improved, including the two champions Metamorphosis, Elise and Shyvana, we mainly retain the Yasuo and the dragons nerfs: Ao Shin, Daeja, Sy'fen and Shi Oh Yu.

Ezreal | Its attack speed increases from 0.6 to 0.65, but its attack damage decreases from 40 to 35. |
Regarding Augments, no major changes in this TFT patch 12.16. The main changes are to counterbalance the buffs and nerfs of champions and traits to prevent them from becoming too powerful. It is worth noting that optimizations that offer gold coins offer even more gold coins and that Augments cybernetics give less hit points.

That's it for the TFT patch 12.16 changes. It is likely that the impact of dragons will be drastically reduced and that we will return to a similar situation as in patch 12.13. Nevertheless, dragons will be back in force very soon with set 7.5 arrival, which should change the meta in favor of our scaly friends. For more tips on compositions, Augments and items, I invite you to discover our TFT meta set 7 guide.
