Oh does that mean we'll get an area for patch notes and so form of normalized items before then so they it isn't decided by RNG alone? xD Really love the mode though but man is it frustrating to get 0 items some first creep waves when other teams have 2 completed items.

Had 2 rank 2 zeds one with an IE another with Red before like round 5. It was silly.

I had a 3-star Vayne with Rageblade and Firecannon by level 4. The RNG is ridiculous.

I feel like it doesn't matter if the system is fully fixed.. In such an RNG reliant game like this, people are always going to complain..

Not with how it currently is, Every player should get the same amount of items. Let RNG decide if that player gets 4 negatrons or 4 bf swords, not 1 player gets 5 items the other gets 0

Does this mean Ranked goes live on the 17th, or that's simply when it'll be "celebrated"? When does it go live if not?

Normal ranked is just as RNG can you get a good team yes or no

Yeah, but split across the top 8,16, or maybe everyone gets something, either way it won't be nutty - but it's still cool.

I love this game mode, it is so much fun getting a good team together and kicking ass. but not very fun because some SOB got lucky on the mob waves and has like 5 completed items while I have 1. My team had better synergy but raw item power more than made up for it. There is a way to overcome and work the randomness of the champ cards. There is no real way to overcome the item difference. I personally Would love to see some kind of System that took some of the RNG away from the items. A shop like in normal league seems like the best way to overcome this. Then if items are to OP you can just nerf them or a champ as we go on like in normal league. Dont let RNG be the main factor for winning matchs in a game mode named after chess lol.

Being that it's auto....it's going to have rng as a big factor imo no matter what, and with that shop suggestion people will just spam rageblades and spear so hard on everyone and i doubt u would think its fun when everyone has the same thing over and over again. It just becomes dull when the same process is repeated for so long

Oh man, so glad it's available to all them twitch streamers....they really need the 125k.

That1MusicianJul 1, 20192 votes

That’d be super cool if you guys could do something like this for non-streamers, perhaps once you guys introduce a ranked system to TFT get the top folks to compete!

brotuctionJul 1, 20191 votes

what? your basically begging for money lol. They are doing this because this event is basically advertisement. This 125k is a investment.

FricksJul 3, 20192 votes

Sure hope theres gonna be an Item Hotfix before they release ranked, or this is going to turn into another URF/ARAM style game mode instead of something competitive, which will cause it to quickly fade away. Not that it isnt fun, its just in desperate need of item balance before they can turn it into the ranked game they want it to be.

Might I propose an 'engineer' synergy that causes other engineers to double cast? (Such champs could be heimerdinger, viktor, ziggs, ekko, rumble--wow, a lot of the sciency types are yordles, aren't they?)
