TFT added to ARCADE Event Pass

Riot··2 votes·53,494 views

If you love Teamfight Tactics and you love ARCADE, we've got good news—the ARCADE Event Pass now grants rewards for your auto-battling activities!

Pass holders earn tokens for playing TFT matches, win or lose. Only matches over 10 minutes count.

  • 6 tokens for a win (top 4)
  • 3 tokens for a loss (bottom 4)

TFT matches also count toward the "Play 3 games" completion of the pass's First Win of the Day mission, which rewards 18 tokens. Due to technical shenanigans, however, a TFT win won't trigger the "Win 1 game" condition.

Last note: TFT doesn't grant progress toward the pass's five milestone missions.

Good luck in the Convergence!

And still no treeline...

Not buying another pass unless I can play ranked 3s games for it.

I get it- bots are common in blind queue (Maybe do something about it, riot?), and not all regions have full time access to it, but ranked doesn't have the bot issue and I don't see how region specific stuff should get in the way of it being an option.

You don't see how region specific stuff could make it an unfair pass for regions that don't have 3v3?

Tahngarthor27 votes

How would it make anything unfair? How hard is it to just play any of the other game modes that are available in your region?

I suppose it could be seen as unfair if it turned out TT was the most efficicent way to grind tokens, but that's an easy enough fix, just make sure that SR is the best option since that's all riot really cares about anyway, and problem solved.

I don't see how it's unreasonable to ask that all legitimately matchmade games should count, so no matter what your preferred game mode is, you can still earn your tokens. That to me, is the most fair thing- not excluding a mode just because not every region always has it.

As the only real game mode, the pass should exclusively apply to Ranked 5v5.

That's fine, as long as they make seperate games to recreate the other game modes and sell seperate passes for them.

Jesus Christ, telling other people to play any of the other game modes while not doing it yourself. Follow your own advice maybe?

That's not what I'm doing at all, maybe you should reread what I said. The point is it isn't unfair because you have options. Adding one more option doesn't make it unfair.

and you know what? I did play other game modes- I spent an entire month not playing my favorite part of the game because it didn't award tokens.. I did so because I had to. And it's why I'm never buying another pass again unless this changes- I don't want to be forced to play something I don't feel like playing.

No one cares about or plays treeline cept you and 10 other people. TFT is viewed more on twitch than LoL right now by a huge margin.

#V# is fun as hell, and the fact TFT is more watched then league is sad, ITS A GAME WITHIN THE GAME, my ques were 2-3mins and game mode, now they 10mins most of the time, TFT is hurting the real game

Tahngarthor3 votes

the'yll probably drop summoner's rift to make it the main game :p

Slazll

If they drop a game mode it would be 3v3, since it isn't in every region, isn't balanced around, and is by far the least popular game mode

Tahngarthor2 votes

It is in every region, just not on a fulltime basis in some. Aslo, go take a hike, I don't care what's popular, I care what's fun. And TFT is just a fad and they're only doing it because dota did it. The SR comment was obviously a joke that at least 6 people didn't understand.

name 5 well-known treeline players.

Tahngarthor17 votes

The 5 people in the last game I played?

What relevance does this have to anything? If Faker or insert pro player here doesn't play it, that means nobody plays it? what kind of nonsense logic is that?

Besides, you have a list of "well known players" right in the client. Ranked > Top Flex 3v3 Players

https://imgur.com/KeFlVPU

All of these players have hundreds and hundreds of games, you can't play that many games if "nobody plays it." Popularity increased significantly as well, after the change to flex queue and addition of rewards, and it was made available in all regions when that change was made. So whatever number it is, it's increased in the last few years.

What you're really saying is "Nobody important plays it" and you know, maybe that's true, maybe not, but that's not important to anybody who plays. I certainly am not going to play something just because "insert pro player here" plays it. I don't give a dam what's popular, I care about what's fun. And I find it fun. So sue me.

And again, as per my point above, what does this have to do wi th whether or not you can get tokens? Who the heck cares if the nobodys who play TT get their tokens? How does this hurt you?

This pretty much exemplifies how silly this all is. We get it, these are alternate game modes and not the "main game." That doesn't mean they shouldnt exist. Even for the people who don't fall in love with them, other game modes are there to mix things up a bit to keep the experience fresh, even if you only touch it on rare occasion. They serve an important and valuable purpose, otherwise Riot never would have even tried coming up with new modes and your TFT wouldn't exist either.

name 5 TT players that are well-known just because there are players in Ranked > Top Flex 3v3 Players doesn't mean they are well known buddy when we say well-known we mean like thousands of ppl know who they are and i know you can't name 5 players who play TT because there is no player with over thousands of fans that play TT

I don't care if they're well known to you. That's completely unimportant and beside the point. The point is, people play it, and I don't give a damn if they're popular people or famous pros or anything else, and neither do most other people. I can get a game just as quickly as any non-support in SR, so obviously enough people play it to justify its existence.

I can certainly name 5 people I know, and 5 people that the TT community by and large knows, but it doesn't matter, you wiill just shoot it down because it's not Faker or Doublelift or someone with X number of "fans". But it doesn't matter, because that doesn't prove anything anyway, and it's a pointless question. So do us all a favor and take your elitism somewhere else. I don't care how many fans anybody has, it means nothing. Faker could play tiddlywinks on a livestream and get a thousand people to watch him do it, it has nothing to do with the fun or enjoyability of anything.

If you only like something because you see it as popular and some famous guy is doing it, there's something wrong. I play things because I find them enjoyable, not because some "well known person" is doing it.

You will undoubtedly reply to this with another "hah, i knew you couldnt name famous people" comment, but go right a head, it proves nothing and means nothing.

I hope they remove TFT because it's just a dumb cash in copycat of something someone else came up with first (not that league itself isn't). Partilaly kidding, I don't think anything should be removed, but I admit I am a bit salty about a "game mode" that's really an entirely seperate game within a game that has basically nothing to do with League other than the characters being added without any testing/user feedback phases like what they did for nexus blitz.

It's also horse doody because Nexus Blitz went through multiple public tests as an "experimental mode", while TFT was originally stated to be the next experiment, but it went straight to "beta" and officially in the game before even a single person played it on live, making it all the more obvious they're just copying something that was popular with their main competitor.

But seriously, it doesn't hurt you if it exists, it didn't hurt anyone that Dominion existed, Riot gave BS excuses about that, and didn't even leave it for custom games for people who used it for other stuff like hide n seek. Just because you don't care about something doesn't mean nobody else does.

You do realize league wouldn't exist without "copying" dota a mod from war3 right? Most good game ideas now days are borrowed from other things which in no way is a bad thing if they add their own flair to it which I think they have. Also when it comes to what stays and what doesn't we dont have the data they have. While im not a huge fan of TFT myself, countless other people are as in more playing logging into their client to play their game. Its a win and I doubt it will be going anywhere and im totally fine with that.

Yes, I do realize that, but this is a 100% pure case of "oh look, DOTA 2's doing this and its popular, we gotta copy it and pop it out as fast as possible before we miss out on this hype train!" rather than making something on its actual merits or iterating on it to improve it. Again, despite being billed as the next experimental mode, it was fast tracked to release without going through the same kind of trial phase + feedback that the first experimental mode had, which just screams "we gotta hurry and cash in on this before it's too late!"

Sharaza2 votes

Honestly, I agree. To me TFT felt out of place when it joined the Rift. It does feel like a game within a game and I know they want to expand on new game modes and if I remember, Riot wanted to make a new game all together. TFT isn't my type of game, I was hoping they would bring in a new game mode not a whole new game separately. I really wish they brought back either rotating game modes or Nexus Blitz because I had a lot of fun playing it. [sg-janna]

The majority of my friends and I play ranked 3v3 and are always upset that 3v3 is not counted. It forces us to play ARAM nonstop for tokens and makes everyone burnt out so hard. Then the next pass comes out and we have to drop playing 3v3 for another couple months till its over. At least make ranked 3s count...

WHAT ABOUT TWISTED TREELINE?! IT'S LITERALLY A RANKED MODE WITH END OF YEAR REWARDS! This is ridiculous that I am forced to play another mode for a whole month just to get the stupid skin I want.

Are you 12 years old? Are you disabled? There's no reason you can't play another mode other than Treeline. Stop whining like a baby.

Why should we be forced to play something other than the thing we enjoy the most just for stupid tokens? If I buy this pass, I basically can't play TT during the event or I won't get the content I paid for.

I did it for Trials and regretted it, I won't buy a pass ever again unless -ranked- TT games earn tokens. I dont even care if it's half as good as doing other modes, as long as I get some.

Also: Childish comments are childish. You're basically stamping your foot and saying, "Stop liking what I don't like!"

Julian 20K Storm11 votes

Yeah I can honestly agree with the people here. If every other game mode gets these rewards then why not TT?

Tahngarthor3 votes

Thank you. And I know it will never happen, but I want Riot to respond to this. At least give us a good reason for this (I honestly don't feel there is a good reason, but I want to know what their logic in excluding TT from tokens is)

PotPye2 votes

Riot has been trying to remove TT all together. By excluding TT from rewards they can shove the TT playerbase to other modes then say some bs like "well since no one is playing TT we're deciding to disable it for some time."

Maybe, bu t they can't because enough people paly it to justify its existence- They've also previously said it's not going anywhere, and there have been TT specific ranked rewards. It was also expanded to more regions a while back. So I don't think they're "trying to remove it."

Is this your weird way of telling us you don't think TT players have a legitimate complaint here?
