Why Team Fight Tactics will Kill Classic League of Legends

With the addition of TFT, a strategy based game that requires people to use their brain, a lot of the smarter players who are tired of the toxicity and stupidity of players in solo q will migrate (and have already) to this game mode, leaving nothing but toxic autofilled flaming crybabies in solo q. Ever since this mode was added, I've seen more people rage quitting and flaming than ever, but when I play TFT everyone is chill. Most people in solo q rage because they make a mistake and then blame it on other people, but in TFT there's no one to blame but yourself, forcing you to take responsibility for your actions. TFT requires you to use your brain more and not rely on a team to carry you or be the self proclaimed cause of your loss. On my main account I was 2 games from entering silver, low elo I know, but low elo is where the most toxic people play. None of them have an understanding of team play, I had an Ivern get mad and int into my enemy bot lane because we took scuttle after pushing the lane up and he was on the other side of the map citing, "you took my farm". I had a mid lane Ekko up two kills in lane, then he died once in a 1 v 1, then literally afk typed flame in the chat from the fountain about how the jgl never ganked his lane. While I do understand that not all games are perfect on my end, it does make actually carrying these games much harder when players do things like this, and it seems to be becoming the norm in this game, 10 games in a row, either troll picks, autofilled idiots, people flaming each other, afkers, quitters, just all around people with a lack of any mental stability. Classic league is dying because people don't want to use their brains or actually think, and the players that do want to think, well they'll play TFT instead because they won't have to surround themselves with a bunch of assholes...yet...

wall of text is wall of text

at first maybe, just like every other game mode when it comes out into rotation and possibly again if/when they add ranked to it

but otherwise I doubt it will

TFT is so drastically different to league, and many people aren't happy with it due to issues with rng both on champion pools and items, as the game mode seems biased towards 1-2 people, gracing them with everything...while the rest suffer in the pits

if they fix those things then it might make it a bit better, but the simple fact is that TFT is still a completely different setup compared to league

it might create its own niche within the system, but it won't kill anything

Dude, it's an autobattler. You don't have to have a degree to understand it's RNG based mechanics. It's not like MTG where you need to spend weeks making that perfect build, covering all possible matchups.

It has some tactical gameplay, but don't act like it's some pinnacle of complexity.

Oh, and League requires the use of brain, especially against tough enemies.

hoping we get TFT ranked so i can finally hit higher elo w/o relying on not getting bots on my team
