What’s changed in TFT patch 12.20b?
Dragon and Dragonmancer nerfs highlight balance changes
The two big comps Riot are focusing on in TFT patch 12.20b are Dragons and Dragonmancer. Both are at the top of the meta by some mile thanks to reroll buffs for the latter, and a glitch for the former enabling it even further.
TheTFT patch 12.19b nerfs to 6 Dragon and Terrawere revertedin the latest deploy, so Riot has gone and fixed that. On top of that, Shi Oh Yu has gotten an extra nerf to their mana and stun duration.
For Dragonmancers, both the trait and Kai’Sa are receiving slight nerfs to make it less powerful in the mid game. Jax and Yone reroll are also being targeted with tune-downs, while an Astral bug fix will reduce the probability of getting full items while at 11 star levels.

Riot removes two Prismatic augments to slow down late game
A second yet significant balance change coming in TFT patch 12.20b is the removal of High End Shopping and Level Up, two big Prismatic augments to cap out late game boards. The catch? They’ll return in TFT patch 12.22.
Lead developer Stephen ‘Mortdog’ Mortimer claimed the duo of augments “allowed you to reach end game boards too easily”, citing the upcoming Dragonlands Championship as the reason why it’ll only be gone for that one patch.
“We want the finals to be as competitive as possible and these don’t really work well in Dragonlands. They will come back for the final patch.”
