I'm sad that TFT was the reason why Twisted Treeline is going away

They refused to update Twisted Treeline to todays Summoner's Rift Level standards and they act surprised that the 3v3 mode didn't work out.

The fact that TFT is getting more content than Twisted Treeline has received in basically in all of it's existence is really depressing.

And the fact that those who were playing a ton of Twisted Treeline games get almost no reasonable reward. All we get is an Icon and an Emote.

IKR, its almost as if the majority of the community didn't play TT due to it not counting for anything, and having no updates/balances. If they put HALF the effort into it as they are into TFT it would be an awesome mode with a-lot higher player base.

The same can be said with Dominion before it was removed.

I don't care that TT is leaving, but it's undeniable that Riot has done the mode dirty. I just hope that we eventually get another 3v3, but one that's jungler-less or has 3 lanes. Joust(a 3v3 mode with little more than a single lane) was my favorite mode in Smite, so it's clear TT itself introduces unnecessary flaws.

Chinese company needs to just scrap the game and call it quits. We're 10 years in the making, and other games have like 5-6 maps at a MINIMUM, I get tired of playing Summoner's Rift, every, single, game. You might as well just call the game "Summoner's Rift", because this isn't "League of Legends" anymore.

Let's hope they introduce RGM or Nexus blitz in place of TT.

It was inherently a mode that was not worth investing time into imo. In 3v3 there are countless ways to cheese the game, and teaming up created much bigger advantages than in the rift where you are only allowed duo at maximum.

I would rather see a deathmatch map or something introduced. TFT is a different game than league. Riot are treating it as such, it just shares a client with league and some name tags on champions, nothing more.

I love tft but I also wanted to see twisted treeline get more attention.

ModAcademy Kayn11/7/2019, 3:22:46 PM5 votes

But I actually like playing TFT. I didn't like to play TT, and it getting visually updated or balance updates wasn't going to get me to play it either.

RIP

I've been saying this for years.. not about TFT, but about TT in general. It's the red-headed stepchild of LOL. I'm not sure why they bothered making it in the first place if they didn't care about it at all.

wheres your proof..... because you are just assuming. Also Twisted treeline wasn't very popular. but they could of left it in as a norm mode.

Jesi Oni11/7/2019, 3:52:20 PM4 votes

🤣 No

TT is being removed because it was unpopular failure despite nostalgia of many... numbers dont lie. TFT is breaking records of popularity and thats why its going to be maintained. Blaming TFT because noone wants to play 3v3 makes no sense at all.

I played 3v3 only few times in custom with friends because there was six of us and we wanted to play together - was NEVER playing it again after that event.

It was never popular, sorry to tell you. Same with Nexus blitz (which i also enjoyed), they shared graphes, they shared their data, all these modes people are looking at with rose tinted glasses are and were - simply not being played, that's a fact, if they were popular - they would not get dropped. If TFT was a flop or a one week hit, Riot would drop it.

SpikedFruitPunch11/7/2019, 4:42:55 PM4 votes

That's a shame. I quite liked the unique items that area had, but the map and mode itself felt pretty left out in general maintenance while SR kept getting new changes and features about every season. Even ARAM gets polished up every now and then.

TFT could've never been released and Riot still would have deleted TT. Stop blaming TFT simply because it's successful.

This entire topic seems to reside in a very familiar dominion... (>_>)

Tft has nothing to do with it. TT was never popular.

Żügżwäng11/7/2019, 9:28:47 PM3 votes

Everyone jumped on the AutoChess hype train, but it's already out of steam. I mean, the game just isn't very engaging.

A real shame.. Twisted Treeline was an awesome alternative to 5v5.

TFT isn't the reason for TT beeing removed. TT would have been removed wether TFT or not, and TFT would have been made regardless of TTs existance, those tow have nothing to do with each other.

TT is just dominion all over, a great gamemode totally neglected both in balance, ingame progress and publicity that because of that neglect see little play and then get removed. It has nothing to do with a new mod taking it's place, it's just riot opting for an easy way out instead of putting effor into those modes.

TT was literally just full of bots because nobody enjoyed it.

TFT should die and go away.

Smyrage11/8/2019, 8:06:52 AM1 votes

I played TT and I'm among those, who think that mode was horrid. The game was designed for 5v5, a lot champions followed that principle. Due to this principle, it could never be balanced, because in 3v3 champions who are otherwise not really overloaded in the classic 5v5 can quickly become super oppressive in TT. Prime example is Kayn. Kayn isn't that oppressive in Summoner's Rift, because the map is bigger, but in TT he was a must pick in Jungle. Not to mention Supports were close to irrelevant there, because simply you played 1 Top 1 Jungle or 1 Bot, otherwise you are at disadvantage if the enemy runs this setup.

TFT isn't the reason nobody liked TT, that's just finding a scapegoat. TT was never really good and was never really popular, no matter how hard Riot tried to balance it, it's just unbalanceable and because people didn't really play it nor did they were bothered by its existence, so Riot left it in, but LoL just got expanded when TFT was introduced and I can imagine the game could get even bigger, so they retire a gamemode which was from days long gone by to save resources.

Yeah, Legend of Runeterra is why TT is being scrapped.

I mean, Wild Rift is the reason why TT is getting scrapped.

Shit, I mean...

Lmao, TT fucking sucked. Stop pining the other IPs on the reason why it’s being trashed. TT was on life support since Season 5.

TwitchInMyPants11/8/2019, 9:58:48 AM1 votes

TFT isn't the reason, Riot has already scrapped Dominion and have barely put in any work into Nexus Blitz kinda just letting it simmer in beta. They've also completely scrapped modes like Magma Chamber in alpha and they made a version for All Stars that is a completely different map but never let us play it. That and they also were looking to entirely scrap alternate game modes in general this year because they aren't happy with the numbers they're getting. And leading up to this they refused to do anything but Ascencion, Poro King, and the occaissional URF. Odyssey and Star Guardians were exceptions but they were also game modes made to sell skins and Riot STILL thinks they're unsuccessful.

TFT being successful just funnels more resources into it, but if it never exited TT would still get ignored by Riot because they never had much interest in it. If TFT didn't do hot we'd likely just be getting ARURF once every several months and nothing else since they've had a pattern of neglecting pretty much everything that isn't Summoner's Rift. The fact they're also diverting resources into entirely different game projects also likely plays a part in why other game modes were struggling the past few years.

I have been playing league for 6 seasons. When i started to play instantly i started play twisted treeline at normal queue due the lower match time in comparasion to summoners. Summoners would be great if a match ranked wasn´t 50minutes per match , lategame one mate there goes greedy and thats it 50 minutes wasted but what i got in twisted is that have moore teamplay due the map is smallest , dunno what they are thinking about but if they wouldn´t update twisted atleast let it into a normal queue , anyway just tried once tft and i say if aram get removed in a future too i would stop play league of legends without a doubt , about twisted riot be like : It's the same in agriculture, planting and not watering and you complain that the plant dies.

Reminds me of what happened to dominion. I still miss it.

Radio Daddy11/7/2019, 11:54:40 PM1 votes

Idk if the lack of updates we're the reason it wasn't played, if the mode wasn't enjoyable then ofc the majority won't play it. Take Aram for example, barely anything but the mode has been exceptionally popular, especially since it added 2 new aspects to the game, which were forced random picks and constant team fights and whatnot

What's funny is that legends of runetera will completely destroy tft even tho it will be on a different client.
