New TFT patch brings some much-needed consistency to Arbiter and Psionic

Teamfight Tactics patch 17.4 is upon us, and Riot looks to be rebalancing conditionality. While the one-cost reroll menace was finally defeated in 17.3, I feel like the playstyle itself has been overcorrected. We do have a decent spread of higher-cost boards now, but highly-conditional boards continue to dominate - Serpent Stargazer Xayah, Dark Star emblem vertical, and Yi with the correct Psionic item all come to mind. If you don't hit a narrow RNG chute, you're suddenly in a four-way battle to hit the only real default board: Corki-Riven. In the patch 17.4 rundown, Live Balance Lead Tim 'Truexy' Jiang has some thoughts on this, and I'm inclined to agree.
