In terms of strategy, players with a good knowledge of the game will be able to adapt to their opponents' legends and try to anticipate their opponents' compositions TFT choices more quickly. What's more, the reroll system for TFT augments in Set 9 has undergone a change, with individual refreshes now available.

TFT Set 9 region portals

But the addition of TFT legends in Set 9 isn't the new feature that will have the greatest influence on your games, since you'll still be able to choose from the other augments on offer. TFT's major new feature with Set 9 is the arrival of Ryze portals.

At the start of each game, each player must place himself in one of the 3 portals. Randomly, the game's artificial intelligence chooses one of the players, and all are sent to the region chosen by that player. This is not a vote, since even if the chosen player is alone in a portal, the game will take place in the region of his or her choice.

In all, there are 11 regions for a total of 30 different portals. Let's take a look at the complete list of Set 9 TFT portals and their effects.
