Autochess Ranked

How are people enjoying TFT RANKED? It's not my cup of coffee since all I see is ARAM Ranked on auto pilot, it is not to my liking but for those of you who do what is the appeal to it? I don't understand? You could do great all game but there is always the chance that you never get what you need when you need it which in turn could ruin not just your win streak but also cost you the game. I've played a few games now, (unranked of course) most of the time I start with (you guessed it) wild/sorcerer Ahri and play around that. Often time's i'm doing great all game, win some battles lose some battles. Play my cards right and I'll be on a win streak but then late game rolls around and everyones got rank 3's while im sitting at rank 2's needing JUST one more of the same card which never appears maybe im just unlucky but I said "fuck it" and re-rolled 50+ gold into it to see if I would ever get it and to no one's surprise it never appeared. (i'm talking about EITHER Ahri Warwick Nidalee Elise these were the four rank 2's I had that only needed 1 more copy to upgrade.

I guess it just takes a different mind set. I grew up on MtG, particularly draft and sealed deck, and play a fair bit of poker now, so variance like that doesn't bother me. Sometimes you just don't get what you need, sometimes your opponent gets exactly what they need to beat you. It's not anything to get upset about. The idea is to give yourself the best chance at winning, not necessarily the outcome.

I guess another thing card games gave me an edge on is not focusing on winning every single time. Success is measured on long term consistency at a high level. I'm okay losing individual games, or performing poorly at a tournament, as long as in the long term I'm winning more and getting better. It teaches you the follies of results based thinking. When you get that out of your head, losing a game doesn't really matter as much as what you take away from that game.

Also, I hate Ahri. I may be wrong, but I feel like it's a poor choice to build around her. I've just had her ability completely miss too many times for me to be happy ever picking her.
