Rise of the Elements Pass

Riot·11/4/2019, 6:02:56 PM·3 votes·44,985 views

Rise of the Elements is here, and so is a brand new rewards pass! We have some exciting changes coming to the Teamfight Tactics progression experience, so let's dive in to what’s new.

Higher Quality Rewards

The Rise of the Elements pass is more heavily focused on the most exciting stuff. You’ll be able to earn four map chromas, based off the four core elements of the set: Inferno, Mountain, Ocean, and Cloud.

This pass doesn’t have any summoner icons—we’ve seen the memes and know you have plenty of them. We’ve upgraded all of the smaller rewards to emotes.

At the end of the pass are two little legends eggs, a Set 1 Egg and a Set 1-3 Rare Egg.

More Time

So far, our passes have been pretty strict on time limitations, which means you haven’t had very long to get to the most exciting rewards at the end of ’em. This one will stay up for the entire length of the Rise of the Elements set. We hope this gives you more time to earn the things you’re excited about.

Play Flexibly

In addition to the extra time, this pass is also more flexible in two specific ways:

  • Orb of Enlightenment: We wanted to make it easier for players who don’t play TFT every day but still play a lot of it to get a good amount of XP from the Orb. The Orb will now recharge every three days instead of every day, so if you only play certain nights or only on weekends, you’ll have a much easier time earning XP in this pass.
  • Larger Missions: Some weeks will have larger missions, but fewer of them. These missions could take a couple of days to finish, but you’ll have access to them for the entire week. We’re excited to hear what you think about doing more small tasks vs working towards a bigger goal over multiple days.

This pass will be active from the first day of Rise of the Elements until the launch of the next set.

Best of luck in the Convergence!

I would like to see a way to re-roll missions possibly too since not all missions are fun to do and require me to throw sometimes to do if I wanted to play the game and also try to do missions.

Pass should have more of a focus on eggs and chromas. For this past pass the only thing worth getting was that one egg and blue chroma. Made me not even want to play. Also why was the last prize a icon...no body wants that. Give us a reason to want to play till the very end.

It would be cool if the pass can also implement some ranked based rewards.

How many tiers are in the pass though? If there's only one pass then this seems like a downgrade for people who are finishing every pass on time.

Why do you guys only drop Series 1-3 eggs? I get that you guys want to make most money out of high demand eggs but atleast drop one or two. Also this comes out after TrueDamage patch which you guys could've put in series 5 which would've really got people to play for rewards at the end. (Honestly now that I've seen series 4 and 5, series 1-3 looks so bland)

higher quality more emotes

i'd rather get icons than emotes but i guess i'm in a minority.

How will this make it any easier? This means we're getting less passive XP which means less overall XP, people who skip days still get an orb on the day they come back so this is really only hitting people that aren't skipping days.

Will never play TFT ever, it should be a separate game (and it IS for mobile). TT being bumped for a mode basically created for the Chinese market (Riot has indicated its by far most popular in China vs everywhere else). So I thus really don't care how long the passes last.

SAVE TWISTED TREELINE (or make a better 3v3 mode). We're losing a game mode that in some way ties to the rest of league of legends for a game mode that has literally nothing to do with it beyond theming and really should just be a self contained game.

edit: Bring on the downvotes, yes I'm salty, having thousands of 3v3 matches (and almost as many in dominion before that). But what really irks me perhaps even more than the loss of TT is what we got in its place isn't really even a new LoL game mode- its a whole different game that hasa basically nothing to do with LoL.

So more time to earn the rewards, less overall rewards if we didn't miss any of the pass before. Pros and Cons for sure.

What we still REALLY need is some kinf of undo function (once) for the shop.. Just a reminder.

I agree the orb system needed a tweak, but as usual Riot OVER corrects this. I would argue that the average casual player didn't really care for the rewards in general. However, the people that do care about the rewards tend towards the more diligent / daily player. In that light this change hurts the people that care about the pass rewards the most.

In my opinion a more proper system would be 44 hour cool down on the claim, and up the games played to seven. This is a nice happy medium.

I also liked the idea of more passes per set.

Additionally, I think if you want to make a longer pass give it options.

IE: have the pass break up into choices come the third tier. Then people can gather up things they prefer instead of being locked into gaining five things they don't care about to get to the one item that shines to them.

It would also be neat to see the missions broken up further.

IE: weekly and daily missions. Make the weekly harder, and the daily missions easier. I personally like the idea of an option for something to work towards every day.

What this really means is if you don't play TFT you're not getting the free emotes and icons at the lower end of the pass- that's the real reason for this change, just spun to sound better than it is.

I don't and won't ever play TFT but you better believe im collecting the free stuff.

Those are really nice changes. Thanks!

Seems weird to not have something beyond a chroma. Would be nice if there was some non-chroma big reward at the end of the pass for those who actually go through and get all of it.

However, the same here has already spent enough money in the regular League of Legends ... and I will continue to support Rito in the coming years ... but my TFT experience starts when I can play on my IPAD pro such as Wild Rift and legends of Runeterra

I don't agree about playing games like TFT on my PC-RIG, but that's just my 2 cents It disrupts the interface of League of Legends and TFT is not part of the Summoners Rift, they have to make a different interface for it and/or selector in the login screen and start their various games from there

I like the missions changing size instead of a bunch of small ones. But I still feel like they need a little more meaning. Honestly a lot of them feel more like work and are discouraging to even try. The "get to a certain stage" or "go on a win streak" are great, but forcing us to play a certain type of unit more often than not means I'm purposely losing just to get the achievement. Our comp usually changes each game, so trying to get the achievement is kind of annoying for me since I don't play TFT as often. The Orb of Enlightenment and Larger Missions changes are great, but the missions themselves maybe need a little more refining? Just my opinion.

YIKES. You think emotes are an 'upgrade' from fucking icons?

You could remove emotes from the game and nobody would give half a fuck.

In fact, please do so. Thanks!
