TFT Patch 16.5: Reroll Power Rebalanced with Broad Trait Tweaks

TL;DR Summary
Teamfight Tactics patch 16.5 is a buff-heavy update aimed at strengthening 2- and 3-cost reroll strategies to reach level 8/9 faster, while delivering wide adjustments across traits (Arcanist, Demacia, Ixtal, Noxus) and multiple units (notably Swain, Yunara, Bel’Veth, Jinx, Leona, Aatrox, Sylas) with both buffs and nerfs. It also updates items (Darkin Scythe nerf and Darkin Staff buff), Thief’s Gloves changes, augments, bug fixes, and rolls in Riot Client integration and Sylas unlock tweaks ahead of the next set. Expect a shift in mid-to-late game power with more viable reroll lines and adjusted meta, plus a reminder about Festival of Beasts timing.
