New TFT patch brings back encounters, and it looks like reroll meta is here to stay

Riot’s TFT patch 17.2 brings back encounter-style lobby modifiers, adds five new augments, and tightens gold access.

The update also tweaks Timebreaker and emblem effects while nerfing several top units and strategies.

Multiple underused champions and frontline options get buffs to help rebalance the meta.

Overall, the changes could push the game toward reroll comps or make Level 8 boards more viable.
