With the TFT Set 8.5 coming to PBE in two days, let’s check out the new and improved Hero Augments.
TFT Set 8.5: Glitched Out! Is two days away from being released on the Public Beta Environment (PBE) servers, with a release date targeting March 22. There are a lot of changes with the mid-set expansion like new heroes, traits and some exciting system adjustments as always. But perhaps the most important changes will be the new Hero Augments for the incoming champions. The current set mechanic is the focal point of many games, as hitting your desired augment can make or break a comp, and the strength of their Hero Augments can affect the viability of many champions.
As usual, all new heroes will have two augments specifically designed for them: one carry and one support. There are also some big changes to a few already existing Hero Augments. These are mostly to champions like Fiora or Sivir whose traits got changed or reworked, or unpopular augments like Ekko’s carry augment. Aside from the new, and changed, Hero Augments, there will be no new additions to the regular tiered augments for Set 8.5.
