Balancing (or lack thereof)

Gamma Sector··3 votes·1,182 views

Never been one to complain abou tTFT except for glacial bullshit, but these days it feels like the game is balanced around two or three things: Whoever gets the Draven comp first, whoever get a stacked A Sol, or whoever gets stacked wilds first. It's kinda stupid, that legit 3 comps are the only thing you can actually win with.

Meanwhile, void assassins are absolutely crushing everything. Literally everything.

I've never had much trouble vs void assassins. CC pretty much turns that comp into a joke, and I always run CC heavy comps

I think items stacking is fundamental problem and game cannot be balanced with it.

They also patched several items to not be stackable.

If certain items are an issue, they're likely to make more items unique. I think they're aware of item stacking as a problem which is why they did that and made Hextech (even when that comp can make snowballing insane at times).

I dont know about that but last time i play game it was same stacked immortal god of death draven or glacial rangers with double rageblade on everything. One item per champion is enough otherwise this game cannot be ever balanced immortal braum killing team thru thornmail, glacial stun galore with AS buff from rangers + AS from items (btw whole glacial is bad executed, stun on AA with stuns as abilities), veigar throwing ults faster then AA, etc. how can you balance these with three items? And kaisa is incoming look at her abilities synergy she will be worse then stacked draven.

Glacial Rangers, Voidsins, Voidsorcs, Yordlelementalistsorcs, and Dragonshifters are the comps I always see. Bladeslingers still works but only when you're decked out with units and items.

9.19 can't come soon enough lol. I'd like to be able to use more comps instead of having to play around Shyvana, Void, and Glacial all day. At least most units are good in this meta but the counterplay for highrollers is pretty bad atm.

Bladeslingers are too weak after GP nerf IMO.

I'm not super high playing at Plat4-3, but I've sinched 1st place with them this patch and recovered from a game I would've been 8th climbing up to 5th, almost higher.

Bladeslingers you need 6 Blademasters since their procs are more efficient and you can turn something like Jinx into a blademaster. However the comp is very item dependant and even then you want to upgrade your units a lot. If you can't find items then you're better off running something different. Rangers can run a lot of items as long as they have some attack speed or mana items in there since Varus, Ashe, and Kindred all have high impact spells. Voidsin only really needs Youmuu and Rapidfire. Shyvana can use almost any item even if she has a best set.

Bladeslingers are pretty unique in a position where if you don't take powerful on hits like Red Buff, Shrink Ray, and Hush then your comp is just useless. 3 blademasters with something else to have a strong Draven on your comp is probably better if you can't get all your pieces.
