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.
TFT patch 12.16: features changes
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.

TFT patch 12.16: Augments changes
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.
