Demacia Radiant Items are giving way too much stats...
Runeterra Reforged Championship patch started with the wrong foot. A tweet from Riot Prism has reported the existence of a few game-breaking bugs that are ruining the player's experience in Patch 13.21.
Before going over to the bug lists, it is recommended to not play in this patch until the game is hot-fixed. Fortunately, Riot is well aware of these bugs so they are working quickly to get it sorted out ASAP.
UPDATE: Got fixed
Here's the tweet. Now we can go enjoy playing ranked again.
Demacia Radiant Items giving Double Bonuses
The first bug is currently happening with the Demacia Trait. Units with Radiant Items are getting double the amount of bonuses. This double-stat shenanigan only happens when the unit that is holding the Radiant item dies in the previous round.
If you understand how broken this is (Radiant Items itself are way stronger), you should avoid playing ranked or be prepared to be facing these Demacia "buffed" units in your lobbies.
Player Damage is bugged
Player damage works with a very specific formula to balance things out in the different stages of the game. For instance, Stage 2 damage is not close to Stage 4 at all.
The issue is that the calculation is bugged causing players to receive way more damage than intended. Therefore, Accelerating the pace of the game.
This is not supposed to happen, hopefully, all is sorted out quickly to give practice room for TFT Pro players participating in Regionals this weekend.
Scuttle Puddle bugged
Finally, the Teamfight Tactics official team made a tweet yesterday when they announced the disabling of the Scuttle Puddle regional portal due to an issue with a game-breaking bug.
It's with great regret that we have to disable Scuttle Puddle in patch 13.21 (tomorrow) to avoid a game-breaking bug that has emerged with the Portal. This also impacts Beats by Scuttle.

We plan to reenable Scuttle Puddle in patch 13.22 after fixing the issue.
The sad news is that the Portal will be disabled until Patch 13.22, so we aren't going to see it in the upcoming Tournament.
