PLEASE JUST PLEASE REMOVE FOF FROM CAROUSEL

The title says it all... This is totally busted, it is totally f***ed up to be getting kicked out of the top just from a random comeback from a fof (force of nature) in a carousel. It is making more people sad than happy. Get into your players shoes..How many promos do you think have been lost to a fof in a last round carousel. You don't actually mean to make us strategise keeping that in mind right? Consistency is taking a hit here and it seems to me that you reward misplays. It might not affect the game in the lower ranks but in high ranking games it makes a huge difference. When you drop a spatula from creeps it appears that you get a whole item , doesn't it mean that two spatulas equals more than a complete item? Coming from a dedicated player please check how the fof in the last carousel affects the fight and you will see very clearly that in the most cases the player who gets it eventually end up winning the game.

What is fof ? Do you mean Force of Nature? Anyway,... the game always favours the losing player with every carousel round. They end up with better champions and items. Especially in the carousel round where the gold 5 units pop up. A losing player can become a winning player with just a Pantheon or Swain completing his dragon or imerial buff.

I also wonder why the losing players get rewarded with favouritism. It would be like playing SR, and then the losing team gets a free Baron Buff because they are losing and need extra help to win. It makes no sense.

I understand the randomness of the carousel is part of the game. But just make every carousel like the first carousel round, everybody go for it at the same time.

Thanks for commenting. I believe that its already enough to have prio on the carousel and the first shot on the S tier items(yeah some items have very little impact compared to others) and a potentially S tier legendary unit.

Imo force of nature has a totally different impact than an item and a unit that goes with it. You can fit a force of nature and further enhance your comp which is far more important than another item on a carry(example a broke knight player who finds his spot for the infamous imperial squad or an assassin brawlers player that gets 6 brawlers).

Anyway someone might argue that who cares if it is first or second or even a third place as long as it is not 6-8 and i will agree to that since you will be still getting those points and climb, but for me it feels a little unfair thats all. I must say that i lost 2-3 games that way(and a promo) when i wrote this post so i was a little salty hehe^^)

IMO it's OK that the game help low HP players. Many times I preferred other items instead of FoF from carusel. Also I saw many times how high ranked players didn't pick up spatula mid game.

FoN is pretty rare but ironically I've only seen it on carosel draft twice and the players who had it were so far behind that they ended up dying shortly after getting it, got a few placements higher but their armies were still crap.

I've seen FoN win games before but its usually the people who have been saving their spatulas for a specifically timed play with the money they've saved that are making plays. Players with low HP are sometimes doing well economically, other times are just getting straight up stomped.

Purposefully losing health inorder to get a more beneficial draft along with a lose streak is not always a bad play. It's a strategic play, and it sometimes can turn out right if you can pivot properly.
